GIS for prospecting uses

o GIS: Geographic Information SystemIt is an application that manages digital geographicinformation at different levels, permitting operations:

1. Additions, subtracts, multiplications…2. Delete areas under constrains criteria

o The main geographic information used are the following:• Wind resource• Electricity lines, substations…• Property & land value maps• Environmental constrains• Topography• Nodal prices (USA)• Other: archeological, noise emission maps…

o We can match with other criteria:• Distances to electrical lines / substations• Distances to restricted areas: airports, environmental…• Delete areas with less than…5m/s, for example

Wind resource assessment & optimization

New technology available: remote sensors

o LIDAR: LIght Detection And Rangingo SODAR: SOund Detection And Rangingo How it works

• It emits laser beams/sounds in different upward directions under a fix frequency

• Waves are reflected against atmospheric particles (aerosols)

• Waves come down under a different emission frequency, depending on wind speed (Doppler Effect)

• Wind data is collected due to information among emitted and collected waves

o Information collected• Wind speed, wind direction, turbulence and

wind shearo Feasible use in combination with met masts

• Met mast (2/3 hub height) + remote sensors• Measurements campaigns costs over 100m

are reduced, keeping quality of measurements

• Turbulence must be measured by met masts

o GAMESA designs wind farms under profitability criteria, based in energy calculations

o GAMESA has designed specific tools for that approach, aligned with business

• Best configuration is done WTG by WTG• Compares platforms (G5X, G8X, G10X)

& hub heights (67, 78, 100, 120m)

o The analysis is done from initial stage of projects and before each relevant decision (internal investment approvals)

o Tools has a high level of automation, due to huge amount of information regarding to the project (for WTG and country)

• Energy yield estimation• Investment information (WTG prices and BoP)• Economical information: Electricity sale mode,

Operational costs• Financial hypothesis• Technical constrains (environmental, WTG

suitability…)

Page 29: Gamesa Energía Nobody knows more about wind September 24, 2010, Madrid.

29

The importance of wind resource expertise

o Gamesa introduces maximizing profitability criteria from

initial stages of the projects

o Site selection and wind resource assessment are difficult tasks

which requires complex computer tools and internal know-

how

o Gamesa has the needed internal knowledge and expertise to

design internal tools, always improving profitability of projects

o Gamesa invests in knowledge to test new technologies for

client support with a business approach

Accounting rules

Accounting through the project life

Early promotion costs are expensed and never capitalized

Accounting validation gives the go ahead to capitalization of development costs that are recognized as inventory

Frame agreement gives the go ahead to margin recognition tied to milestone achievement ( % of completion accounting). Agreed sales progression accounted as trade debtors

Cash in at sale completion. No impact on P&L

(1) Accounting validation requires economic (wind resource study) and technical viability (no obvious risks to development and grid connection) of the wind farm

Accounting example

o Accounting methodology is POC once the sale agreement has been signed

• Early development costs are expensed

• Accounting validation gives the go ahead to cost capitalization and wind farm inventory

• Margin recognition starts after sales agreement is reached (percentage of completion

accounting); recognition of trade debtors starts

• Sale completion: cash in, trade debtors out, no impact on P&L

o This accounting methodology (POC) is applied to both large framework agreements or single

sale contracts but signature timings differ affecting when P&L impact occurs:

• For large framework agreements sale signature and beginning of margin recognition is close

to validation date and far from sale completion Margin recognition starts earlier and is

spread over more years (historic business model)

• For single sales, signature is very close to the construction stage and further away from

validation date margin recognition starts later and is more concentrated in time

• Except for downpayments at signing, the cash flow line is identical, as costs incurred

do not vary and cash inflow happens mainly at completion of the sale

Integration vs. pure play

The synergies of integration

Synergies for the development business Synergies for the OEM business

Better project planning due to turbine

knowledge (existing and future products).

Stronger balance sheet.

Better brand image towards clients, banks

and administration.

Leverage on supply chain related

investments and job creation to secure

tender awarding.

Ability to provide EPC solutions to project

buyers.

More feedback for product design and

improvement (efficiency, O&M,

environmental issues, permitting issues, …).

Improved visibility of order book.

Good value added product for customers

willing to enter the industry (start buying

projects, then buying turbines for own

developments).

Project development as a low cost tool to

enter new markets.

Better know-how on grid connection

and civil works implications on the turbine.

Europe

Good risk/return profile

Current Market Situation Business Tactics

Developers structure to finalize

developments/start construction due to

lack of bank support.

Feed in tariff systems provide good

visibility for projects once finalized.

Carbon trading pick up has created a new

set of investors.

Some utilities want to catch up as late

entrants to the market.

Selecting purchase of projects to finalize

and sell.

Leverage on Gamesa’s track record and

technical strength to provide EPC

solutions.

Offer projects to new IPP’s (IKEA).

Sign up for long term relationships with

local utilities (Edisson)

The European market offers a good risk/return profile for investors, but outsiders and banks do not want to take development risk

Page 57: Gamesa Energía Nobody knows more about wind September 24, 2010, Madrid.

57

USA

PPAs are the key challenge

Current Market Situation Business Tactics

Low cost of Natural Gas keeps power

prices low to historical levels.

A significant amount of developers are

struggling due to lack of financing.

Utilities still lacking green assets to

achieve RPS required levels.

Cash grant expires in December 2010.

Accelerate development in areas of high

energy consumptions (higher energy prices).

Selecting project acquisition to speed up

development.

Approach utilities looking to purchase

projects to own and operate (no need for

PPA).

Start construction of feasible projects during

2010.

The key challenge is finding acceptable PPAs to make projects appealing for the financing banks

Page 58: Gamesa Energía Nobody knows more about wind September 24, 2010, Madrid.

58

China

Under-penetrated market with strong growth opportunities

Current Market Situation Business Tactics

Only 4 utilities investing in projects

massively.

New utilities starting to develop from

scratch want to catch up.

Turbine demand for foreign manufacturers

limited to 20% of total local demand.

Kyoto protocol (CDM) forces to have

Chinese company controlling the project

to access Green Certificates.

Offer our projects as a tool to accelerate

entrance to a sizeable installed base.

Increase turbine demand by selling

projects developed by Gamesa.

Continue talks to foreign investors to

measure the value of the project without

CDM.

The Chinese market is booking with very few players and new local utilities starting to grow

Page 59: Gamesa Energía Nobody knows more about wind September 24, 2010, Madrid.

59

ROW

Gamesa Energía geographic expansion as a tool to accelerate the industry ROW

Current Situation Business Tactics

New markets starting up, mostly in Latin

America, Eastern Europe and East Asia.

Local utilities not yet investing.

Returns look appealing after COD.

Local bank not mature to structure

financing deals.

Open up local offices and strengthen

position via local developers (Joint

Ventures/Acquisitions).

Leverage on commercial relationship with

global IPP’s to offer bundled projects.

Help local banks with support from

European banks with project finance

experience.

Gamesa is growing the development business in most of the new markets globally as a tool to accelerate the industry

Valuation

Valuing Gamesa Energía through precedent transactions multiples

Example of B&B acquiring Enersys in Dec 2005 Firm Value announced: € 1,000 MM (€ 468 MM EV + € 532 MM Debt) Pipeline acquired:

In operation 344 MW Under construction 276 MW In advanced development 360 MW In early development - MW

Assumptions required Success ratio of each pipeline segment: 100% - 100% - 70% - 30% CAPEX per MW: € 1.2 MM % of cost incurred of MW under construction: 75%

Calculations Invested Capital at sale= €661 MM (MW in operation x CAPEX per MW + MW in construction x % of

cost incurred x CAPEX per MW) Value added paid= €339 MM ( Firm Value – Invested Capital) Total MW throughput of pipeline: 872 MW (product of segments and success ratios) Value added paid by B&B per MW= € 0.4 MM/MW (Value added paid / Total MW throughput)

Implicit Firm Value of Gamesa Energía= Total MW throughput of Gamesa pipeline x Value added paid by B&B
