Earth. Wind Energy LLC Overview May 21, 2008

Earth. Wind Strategy • A new window of opportunity exists in the renewable energy market sector • An opportunity to combine other renewable technologies – solar and biomass/fuel coupled with wind to create more predictable renewable generation • Seeking investment to expand its development opportunities in the Renewable sector 10 -Sep-20 Confidential Slide 2

Evolving US Market • Many Utilities already have significant wind power • These Utilities are concerned with variability and its impact as wind penetration increases. • Transmission doesn’t exist for many large scale wind farms • Wind energy’s daily power generation profile is not coincident with load and peak loading. • Valuations of construction-ready projects have soared increasing the valuation gap with early 10 -Sep-20 Confidential Slide 3 stage projects

Wind Energy Capacity Factor • Wind Capacity Factor up to 40% • Wind as exclusive RPS source of energy requires: – Accurate forecasting of Operational Reserves – Large spinning reserve load-firming capacity – Geographically distributed load-firming capacity – Over-investment in T-line capacity due to low load factor 10 -Sep-20 Confidential Slide 5 – Placement of an artificial cap on wind energy

Wind & Transmission • The loading of the US power grid is already a topic of considerable discussion • Large wind farms not co-located with reserve generation cause significant strains on grid loading • Many utilities are interested in smaller strategically located power sources 10 -Sep-20 Confidential Slide 6

Wind Daily Capacity vs. Loading • Wind Capacity Decreases during utility peak loading hours New York State Hourly Daily Capacity Form Pattern Averaged over the Year Hour of Day Source: New York State – Power Grid and Electricity Delivery Overview 10 -Sep-20 Confidential Slide 7

Earth. Wind Differentiation 1. Earth. Wind consults with utilities to see what their power requirements are – location, variability etc. 2. Earth. Wind combines multiple technologies including, solar, wind, biomass & firming power to best utilize an area’s green energy potential while matching the utilities needs. 3. Earth. Wind has an innovative approach to transmission development which greatly reduces the timeline of medium length ( ≤

Load Balancing / Firming • Wind’s Capacity Factor makes it less attractive • Solar Energy is complementary as its peak capacity occurs during Wind’s typically lowest capacity. – New technologies dramatically lowering the cost of solar energy – Solar averages 4 - 6 hours/ day generation around noon. • Load Firming can be co-located providing both stable base load capabilities and uniform transmission loading 10 -Sep-20 Confidential Slide 9

W. E. P. – Firming Power • 3 Firming Power sites have been selected • 200 MW/ site located near primary substations – Each can firm ≈ 500 MW of wind power • Projected operating cycle keeps firming sites under “major source” permitting requirements • Firming power will be used to help secure PPA for the solar and wind power projects 10 -Sep-20 Confidential Slide 16

W. E. P. – Power Transmission • Innovative tariff sharing licensing strategy – Successfully used in Colorado by Partner – Greatly reduces right-of-way acquisition • Three nearby substations (30, 40 & 45 miles) • Proposed solar property can be used as a portion of the transmission requirements • Allows market access by linking to multiple utilities 10 -Sep-20 Confidential Slide 17
