PROJECT OVERVIEW

72 MW capacity turbines – both onl ine s ince January 2013

PPA in US$ for up to 72MW net, to 2029

US$123/MWh in 2017 with 3% per annum pr ice escalator for 6 years;

1.5% per annum thereafter ( to 2029)

11 production wel ls with productive capacity of approximately:

500-525 tph of steam and

1,500-1,700 tph of hot brine.

Production wel ls 500m to 2,500m in depth

Current steam can result in power capacity of approx. 60-65 MW

(net of ~5 MW internal consumption)

6 Injection wells re - inject the hot br ine into the reservoir to create

a “closed loop” – renewable energy in l i teral sense

Plant re-certif ied for CO 2 credits - ~250,000 tons per year avai lable

FUTURE GROWTH OPTIONS

Acquisitions / Project Development

San Jacinto geothermal project

Binary Unit

Carbon Credits

Develop Western Sector

Casita – San Cristobal Geothermal Field

Development Project

Page 18: POLARIS INFRASTRUCTURE INC. TSX : PIF · PROJECT OVERVIEW 9 72 MW capacity turbines –both online since January 2013 PPA in US$ for up to 72MW net, to 2029 US$123/MWh in 2017 with

ACQUISITIONS/DEVELOPMENT

Grid in Central America is small/fragmented and has a

signif icant number of renewable projects

Numerous – 25-100 MW projects in the region

Large power companies and infrastructure funds not act ive

Owners are small companies and / or high net worth

individuals

Implication is that:

Good targets for acquisit ions without signif icant competit ion

Much higher IRR projects avai lable to develop (i .e. 12-18%

IRR vs. 8-12% in North America)

BINARY UNIT

Separate generating unit – generates power from hot geothermal f lu ids (brine) before reinject ing

Low r isk means of generating addit ional power

No exploration risk

Low technical r isk

Competit ive nature of OEM market wi l l result in attract ive pricing

Design f inal ized and EPC quotes received

Total cost of approximately $30 mil l ion

Est imate addit ional 8 – 10 MW

Equates to approx. $6 – 8 mil l ion addit ional cash f low

Approx. 4-5 year payback

NEAR TERM GROWTH IMPACT

19

Polaris has the capital to s ignif icantly grow free cash f low in next

6-24 months

Dri l l ing provides upside …with an outcome most l ikely at the

“midpoint ”…i.e. $7 -8 mil l ion in free cash f low

Increase in Cash Flow (% Increase)

De-bottleneck Line Capacity $1 - 2 mm (3% to 7%)

Two Production Wells $0 - 15 mm (0% to 50%)

Corporate Development or Binary Unit $5 - 9 mm (17% to 30%)

Total (net) $6 - 26 mm (20% to 87%)
