RENEWABLE ENERGY SYSTEMS - A WORLDWIDE LEADER RES Group - Established in the UK in 1982 Leader in the development, engineering, construction, and operations of renewable energy projects 15 worldwide offices Active on 6 continents Constructed nearly 5,000 MW of renewable energy projects, and operating 450 MW Largest offshore wind project in UK: 180 MW RES Americas - E stablished in the US in 1997 3,832 MW of wind c onstructed (approx. 14% of US wind capacity) Developed half of the projects it has constructed (1,702 MW) 315 MW under construction Own and operate 2 wind farms totaling 226 MW of capacity Developed and constructed Wigton Windfarm I in Jamaica Will construct 8 projects, totaling 1,000+ MW, in Canada and Mexico over next 5 years Pursuing opportunities in Latin America and Caribbean
RES AMERICAS CORE COMPETENCIES Utility-scale wind, solar, and biomass projects Vertically integrated business model: Development Site Identification Resource assessment Land Acquisition Permitting Power sales arrangement Financing Engineering, Procurement, Construction Civil, Electrical, & Mechanical Design Procurement General Contractor / Construction Management Asset Management Operations & Maintenance Third party EPC and Balance of Plant Contractor services
THE WIGTON WINDFARM I MANDEVILLE, JAMAICA To date, the largest wind energy project in the Caribbean RES Americas Role: Developer and BOP Contractor Owner: Petroleum Corporation of Jamaica Installed Capacity: 21 MW 23 x 900 kW NEG Micon NM54 (now Vestas) Commercial Operations: 2004 Photos courtesy of Wigton Windfarm Limited
OPPORTUNITIES IN LATIN AMERICA & THE CARIBBEAN Rising fuel costs Go where the sun shines and the wind blows Energy security through portfolio diversity Opportunity to be the flagship Joint ventures with organizations which have existing relationships
CHALLENGES SELECTING AN IDEAL MARKET Conduct research www.DoingBusiness.org www.ECA-Watch.org Understand the local culture Recognize electric regulatory establishment Utility / Government relationship Form a local project company
CHALLENGES SELECTING A PROJECT SITE Achieving an economy of scale feasible project size Minimize environmental impacts land use and eco-footprint Consider logistics during construction and operations Onshore wind turbine delivery and access to cranes Offshore wind - accessible to ships needed to construct Solar approximate 3,500 solar PV panels / MW Understand weather impact potential of storm to your project Wind - Wigton Windfarms experience with Hurricanes Charley and Ivan Solar - stronger structural support and higher foundation clearance Air material selection to minimize impacts of corrosion throughout project life Local port capabilities
