“All of us at Entropy would like to express our appreciation for the work of the team performed as Independent Engineer for the project finance of Entropy’s 5MW Cayman Solar Project by CIBC First Caribbean International Bank.

The project was the first utility scale solar project developed in Cayman Islands, which posed a unique set of challenges. A number of unusual design and engineering principals needed to be incorporated to address hurricane force wind loading, difficult soil and rock conditions, and the lack of a substantial service and support infrastructure to accommodate the service and maintenance needs of the plant. The team worked with us to fully understand and address potential risks, delivering their work professionally, on time, and on budget.”

Phoventus provides comprehensive environmental and

regulatory services for projects under development,

construction and/or operating. We do this to ensure

the long-term, sustainable, and profitable success of

our clients’ renewable energy and hybrid power project

portfolios.

In today’s world, energy project developers and operators

face ever-evolving regulatory, environmental, and

technical constraints. These restrictions are unique to

each project. Failure to understand these restrictions,

mitigate against them, and optimize project designs and

procedures around them, could result in project delays,

failures or budget overruns. Even the slightest delay

caused by these constraints can completely undermine

the financial viability of a project. At Phoventus, we use

our extensive environmental mitigation and adaptive

management expertise to alleviate these potential impacts

and to make sure this does not happen to our clients.

PROJECT DEVELOPMENT – ENVIRONMENTAL

AND PERMITTING SUPPORT

For those in the development or planning phase,

Phoventus helps ensure projects are designed to factor

in environmental and regulatory requirements from

the start. Clearly understanding the environmental and

regulatory constraints means power project developers

can ensure site design optimization - maximizing

generation efficiency and output while minimizing

environmental impact and cost. By deploying our broad

experience with development stage projects, we ensure

our clients’ development budgets are spent in the right

places to de-risk and advance their projects. Identifying

environmental constraints, designing in risk-mitigation

strategies, and optimizing designs in this way means

project plans can move through the planning/permitting

process smoothly, without delay, and with the best

possible chance of securing approval to proceed.

ASSET MANAGEMENT, ENVIRONMENTAL & REGULATORY SERVICES

11

OPERATIONS - ENVIRONMENTAL

CONSTRAINTS ANALYSIS

Environmental and regulatory constraints continue

to affect power projects throughout their lifetime. To

ensure revenue generation can be maximized, project

owners and operators must therefore balance the

challenges of short and long-term operating budget

requirements, on the one hand, with environmental

and regulatory constraints on the other. At Phoventus,

we help our clients do that by conducting thorough

environmental and regulatory constraints analyses and

then developing and implementing effective mitigation

and compliance strategies. As well as ensuring compliance

to environmental and regulatory legislation, this process

means we can help companies identify opportunities

to boost operational efficiency and profitability in the

long term. We constantly monitor regulatory changes,

industry trends, best practice strategy, and advancement in

technology and scientific understanding to ensure we can

deliver the best solutions for our owner/operator clients.

So ask yourself: Is your curtailment regime significantly

impacting revenue? If it is then we can help bring that to

a halt. Phoventus will help you unlock additional value

from your operating renewable assets by exploring the

alternatives available to you and developing a mitigation

plan. And we will support you through any regulatory

consultations and approvals processes.

Our services cover:

• Environmental and Regulatory

compliance obligation review and

analysis

• Environmental program

development and implementation

including training program

development and delivery

• Third party compliance program

evaluation

• Long-term mitigation strategy development

and implementation

• Commercial technology evaluation, contract

negotiations and program implementation

“Phoventus helps clients identify and unlock additional

value from renewable energy assets.”

“I worked with the Phoventus team on several solar PV projects under development in Alberta. The staff at Phoventus provided excellent, well thought out designs and high quality studies throughout the development cycle, with the ability to describe complex issues in clear and concise terms. Thank you for all your great work!”

BloombergNEF PV Module Tier 1 List Methodology March 3, 2019

For more information on terms of use, please contact [email protected]. Copyright and Disclaimer notice on page 4 applies throughout. 1

BloombergNEF PV Module Tier 1 List Methodology BloombergNEF has developed a tiering system for PV module makers based on bankability, to create a transparent differentiation between the hundreds of manufacturers of solar modules on the market. Since this basic categorisation has been used as an advertisement by certain manufacturers, but should never replace a proper due diligence process in product selection, this document explains the tiering criteria and its limitations.

1. Why divide the PV market into tiers? BloombergNEF is frequently requested by clients for a list of 'major' or 'bankable' suppliers - in common industry parlance, tier 1 suppliers - for use in manufacturing forecasts, preliminary competitor analysis, and other internal comparisons. It is very common for industry players to refer to 'tier 1' players, but these terms are seldom defined or described, which is unhelpful for firms outside the solar industry trying to get a basic overview.

We strongly recommend that module purchasers and banks do not use this list as a measure of quality, but instead consult a technical due diligence firm such as Edif ERA (formerly OST Energy), ATA Renewables, Sgurr Energy, DNV GL, Black & Veatch, TUV, E3, STS Certified, Clean Energy Associates, Solarbuyer, Pvbuyer, Enertis, Oravia, Leidos Engineering or Phoventus. These would usually consider what factory the module comes from, as well as the brand, and give an informed opinion on whether the modules will perform as expected.

2. Definitions 'Bankability' - whether projects using the solar products are likely to be offered non-recourse debt financing by banks - is the key criterion for tiering. Banks, and their technical due diligence providers, are extremely unwilling to disclose their whitelists of acceptable products. BloombergNEF therefore bases its criteria in what deals have been closed in the past, as tracked by our database – 26,300 photovoltaic financings worldwide as of December 2018.

We reserve the right to change these criteria at any time - particularly by requiring more information to consider a manufacturer tier 1. These tiers will be reviewed every quarter based on information added to BloombergNEF's database. Only project financings for over 1.5MW of capacity are included in the database. Portfolio financings count for tiering only for projects with defined locations, and where the debt is secured on all the assets together, ie, if one project in the portfolio underperforms the bank has a claim on the rest of the portfolio.

We only tier manufacturers which actually own production facilities and sell under their own brands. Companies which outsource production under brand names are not tiered.

3. Tier 1 Tier 1 module manufacturers are those which have provided own-brand, own-manufacture products to six different projects, which have been financed non-recourse by six different (non-development) banks, in the past two years.
