17 2B CURRENT POWER PLANTS & ONGOING INVESTMENTS Odaş Enerji has adopted to make investments with high return on equity by combining its investments with competitive advantageous, with the right production diversity and strategy which implemented in a vertically integrated structure in the right locations. CURRENT POWER PLANTS Natural Gas Combined Cycle Power Plant (140 MW) The investments for Odaş Enerji s natural gas power plant in Şanlıurfa started in MW first phase of the investment was completed in 2011, and 74 MW second phase of the investment was completed in Total capacity was increased to 140 MW along with the 12 MW steam turbine investment which was completed in Solar Energy Power Plant (0.25 MW) Having the same location with the Natural Gas Combined Cycle Plant, 0.25 MW capacity solar energy power plant was put into use in January The power plant both meets the domestic consumption requirement which is needed for production and sells the produced excess electricity to the system. 16

18 ONGOING INVESTMENTS Çan Mining and Coal Fired Power Plant Investment (340 MWm/330 MWe) ODAŞ Enerji acquired 92% of Çan Kömür ve İnşaat A.Ş. which had paid up royalty right in Çan district of Çanakkale province in September 2013 as a result of turning towards local coal sources with high calorie values for the purpose of evaluating the most advantageous production methods in the current sector conditions. As a result of the works done by Fichtner GmbH, German Independent Mining Assessment Company, in that field and in accordance with international Joint Ore Reserves Committee ( JORC ) standards, high calorific value coal reserve was detected. The average calorific value of the reserve is 3,481 kcal/kg. In addition to that, it was observed that the coal vein continued in the northnortheast direction of the field, and it is likely that the reserve detected will increase as a result of the additional works to be done. The reserve is qualified as the coal reserve with the highest calorie among the energy company which operate local lignite fired power plants. This reduces investment costs per MW in the power plant with ongoing investment and provides advantage in production cost per MWh when compared to the peers. Köprübaşı Regulator and Hydroelectric Power Plant Investment (8.2 MW) Köprübaşı Regulator and Hydroelectric Power Plant of which 90% shares belongs to ODAŞ Enerji has 8,2 MW production license and the term of the license is 49 years as of The power plant is installed in Trabzon province, Manahoz stream. The electro mechanic equipment of a power plant in that size in Turkey were supplied from a local producers for the first time, and the guaranteed purchase price which will be applicable in the power plant will be 9.6 $cent/ KWh instead of 7.3 $cent/kwh. The power plant investment is planned to be put into use at the end of June,
