17 FUTURE GROWTH OPTIONS San Jacinto geothermal project Drilling further production and injection wells Plant output optimization projects Binary Unit Develop Western Sector Acquisitions / Project Development Casita – San Cristobal Geothermal Field Feasibility and Development Project Carbon Credits

18 FURTHER PRODUCTION WELLS Drilling rig is on-site, available Have 2 -3 well sites

18 FURTHER PRODUCTION WELLS Drilling rig is on-site, available Have 2 -3 well sites identified Will validate location(s) through planned geological studies in Q 1 -Q 2 2017 Likely to drill shallow wells to target “steam cap” Steam cap is a key development in the lifecycle of the San Jacinto resource Estimate cost of approximately $7. 5 million / well Capital cost is funded by internal cash Possible expansion into Western Sector of San Jacinto concession

19 BINARY UNIT Separate generating unit – generates power from hot geothermal fluids (brine)

19 BINARY UNIT Separate generating unit – generates power from hot geothermal fluids (brine) before reinjecting Viewed as a low risk means of generating additional power No exploration risk Low technical risk Competitive nature of OEM market will result in attractive pricing Additional generation will bring us close to 72 MW (net) threshold under PPA Will require amendments to PPA; currently under nego tiati on

20 BINARY UNIT ECONOMICS Project budget (preliminary) is $30 million, including drilling of a new injection well Injection well is required to enable flexibility and reduce “reservoir risk” Capital cost is funded by internal cash Estimate additional 8 – 10 MW Equates to approx. $6 – 8 million additional cash flow Approx. 4 -5 year payback

22 ACQUISITIONS / DEVELOPMENT Grid in Central America is small/fragmented and has a significant number of renewable projects Numerous – 25 -100 MW projects in the region Large power companies and infrastructure funds not active Owners are small companies and / or HNW individuals Implication is that: Good targets for acquisitions without significant competition Much higher IRR projects available to develop (i. e. 15 -20% IRR vs. 10 -12% in North America)
