Generation and supply of electricity, steam, demineralized water and energy services to large industrial customers located in Map Ta Phut industrial & petro-chemical complex
ENGIE is the leading IPP in the Gulf countries:
— 27.5 GW gross (gas-fired) capacity awarded since 1996 (i.e. 60% of all MW capacities in the Gulf)
Long-term Power Purchase Agreements with state-owned utilities
Success factors: competitive tariffs, strong partnerships, innovative technical and financial structuring
Gulf CountriesUAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman
27,500 MWin operation & under construction
Largest IPP in Brazil, representing ca. 7% of the country’s total installed power generation capacity
Tractebel Energia is publicly-listed with public pension funds, central bank as key shareholders
Tractebel Energia Brazil – ca.13,000 MWin operation & under construction

• Certainty & stability of policies and regulations
• Clear and consistent policies
• Effective administration, reducing barriers to business entry & expansion
Investment climate & attractiveness
4
• Cost-competitiveness of renewable power has reached historic levels
5
• Levelised cost of electricity (LCOE) of solar PV has halved between 2010 and 2014
• The most competitive utility-scale solar PV projects are now at USD 0.08 per kWh without subsidies, compared to a range of USD 0.045 to USD 0.14/kWh for fossil fuel power
• The recent tender in Dubai resulted in a successful bid for a solar PV PPA for under USD 0.06/kWh
• Onshore wind is now a very competitive source of electricity available; the recent bid in Egypt drawing the lowest bid under 4 UScents / Kwh
Africa: rich in resources … but with immediate & growing needs

Where will Africa’s energy come from ? Renewables, yes …
Renewables from 22% to 44% of installed capacity:
50% of total growth in capacity
66% of growth for mini-grid and off-grid in rural areas
Source: IEA 2014
Safe and clean; can be stored, so perfect buffer when used alongside intermittent renewables
Flexible dispatch in power generation: short start-up, shut-down times
Competitive base-load option for countries with gas reserves
Technically recoverable reserves of natural gas in Africa are estimated to be about 75 tcm, almost 10% of the world’s total
While major recent discoveries have been in and off Mozambique and Tanzania, Algeria, Egypt, Nigeria are expected to continue to tap into their gas reserves to serve
Governments are keen to target gas for domestic use, for example in Nigeria, which has a domestic gas supply obligation
Substantial shale gas resources in RSA
But also natural gas

IPP should be part of the solution
Renewables (and gas) should be part of the solution
Africa going forward …
