2 IL...the cost to you as you drive down your ene How? NWT SolarGain is a market leading solar energy initiative to help commercial property owners reduce their electricity bills with no capital investment needed. NWT Energy advises and invests in energy generation and energy saving projects that reduce emissions and overhead for our clients, who are commercial, industrial, institutional, agricultural and government property or land owners. This prospectus introduces NWT SolarGain energy generation for profit-making and cost saving. We have developed a two-option model that allows flexibility in the way you can benefit from solar powered generation of electricity. You can choose between investing for profit from your own renewable solar power plant, or simply enjoy cheaper electricity from our investment in an energy generation system that we design, install and manage on your property, at no cost to you.

3 How, why and who the complete solar energy solution rgy overhead through NWT SolarGain. Helping you to understand how solar energy generation makes good financial sense while meeting your sustainability objectives. From concept to installation and long-term management of solar power plants from niche systems to utility-sized installations. In the UK we are committed to generating 15% of our energy requirement from renewable sources by In 2013 we are achieving 8%. It s time for action. There are thousands of untapped commercial roofs and untold hectares of land in the UK that could be used to generate renewable energy, reducing energy bills while feeding electricity into the grid. Our success and growth has been achieved by helping land and property owners release the potential of their investment in a way that suits them best. Go to page 5 to find out more about your options. We develop long-term, carefully planned arrangements that will provide energy and financial security for 25 year terms and well beyond. Our teams are experts in planning, environment, law, the grid and energy engineering. Because we have a long term interest in the technology we install, we specify only the highest quality of hardware that will outlive the term of our agreements. Our financial backing is substantial and secure, and we are ready to invest 100% of the cost of commercially viable solar power plants, or to offer finance if you choose to invest in your own system. Go to page 8 to find out how we work and about the strength of our teams. NWT Energy investing in your SolarGain 3

5 There are two business choices that lead to NWT SolarGain As straightforward as it can be, NWT SolarGain delivers a truly flexible solution Choice 1: we invest Choice 2: you invest Whichever route you choose We rent land or roof space from you, then fund and build the solar power plant on it. We sell you electricity generated from the plant at substantial discount, which will be tied to the RPI, protected from commercially influenced pricing strategies of national energy providers. The graph on the right shows the predicted comparative cost to you over a 25 year agreement. Remember though, that if the power plant does not produce all of your electricity requirement, then the balance will be charged to you by your existing supplier at their retail price. When we invest in the solar plant, we retain the asset and share with you income from government support and electricity sales. The agreement between us will guarantee that your property will be unharmed as a result of the implementation and future maintenance of the solar energy generation system. We work with you to create a specification for the size of energy generation plant that can practically be built on your land or roof space, and the performance you can expect from it. Once you have agreed the specification, we arrange finance if needed, install the system and enter into an agreed maintenance schedule. Our management of your system includes reporting on system performance, 24/7 monitoring, technical support and short notice on-site attendance. In addition to the financial advantages of a self funding capital asset, owning your own electricity generation system will add value to your commercial property. Result: In most cases, your investment costs will be offset to zero a fraction of the way through your agreement term as energy savings and Feed in Tariff income pay for the capital cost of the system. Under both styles of agreement you are protected against future predicted energy price rises. Predicted electricity cost: Grid vs PV Price per kwh Time (years) Result: no investment needed by you, just enjoy cheaper electricity. NWT Energy investing in your SolarGain 5

6 ZILCH A win, win deal it doesn t often happen in property or business Our proposition to commercial property and land owners is compelling and unusual. Building on the sound foundations of our large scale industrial installations in mainland Europe, our mission is to build strong, long-term relationships creating financial reward for our clients, reducing carbon emissions through renewable energy generation, and building an influential and well-founded energy business that will help the UK to achieve its carbon reduction targets. If you are a landlord, the reduced-cost electricity that you can offer your tenants (while still generating profit from supplying energy) will enhance your initial contract negotiations, consolidate your existing relationships and improve your tenants sustainability credentials. Whether you choose to invest in a solar energy plant, or allow us to rent roof or land space from you and take on the investment ourselves, we believe the outcome will be truly sustainable, in every sense of the word. 6

7 Commercial landlords and property owners hold the key to helping resolve the UK s future energy crisis. Is that you?...the number of commercial property owners and their advisers that should ignore the potential of renewable energy as a business asset. Commercial property owners Commercial property developers Land owners We are looking for large, reasonably level areas of land or large roof areas. If your building or estate is suitable, we will discuss your energy consumption and expectations, then we can begin designing a solar energy generation system to meet your energy requirements. If you have land that is level or has a southerly aspect, the same process applies. Not all commercial buildings have roofs that are suitable for solar power generation. We ll tell you frankly whether the idea is worth your consideration, initially from a satellite image and if that looks promising, from a site survey. In addition to mandatory energy efficient construction techniques and materials, many commercial developments could benefit in financial terms and through emissions savings from sustainable energy generation. Commercial property powered by solar energy will attract investors and occupiers who are committed to corporate social responsibility, in addition to being wise to the obvious commercial viability that cheaper energy provides. A solar farm of one hectare will generate tens of thousands of pounds in revenue each year if the energy is sold into the grid. Earnings per hectare will vary according to the geography of your land. We can assess quickly and accurately the level of income you can expect. Solar farms can be installed on all types of land from brownfield to agricultural. They are truly sustainable because, at the end of the energy plant s life, the frames and panels can be removed and the land restored without damage. NWT Energy investing in your SolarGain 7

8 NOTHI Robin Stevenson Sales director Our negotiation and delivery teams bring a diverse set of business and practical skills to every project. This helps us to understand customer needs whether legal, financial, technical or relating to building structure or tenancy. We solve practical problems, building trusting and enjoyable relationships along the way. Building a client/supplier relationship in which the supplier is not looking for capital payment is quite an unusual starting point, and is just the start of a truly customer-focused journey. Kathryn Gohl Business Development Manager There are compelling ecological and commercial grounds for Solar power generation, yet the renewables market suffers from a degree of mistrust as standards in solar PV installation vary dramatically, and leasing or ownership issues seem complicated. We listen carefully to these concerns and help our customers to understand how they can benefit from solar power generated on their property, and the simple financial options available to them. Then they can make educated decisions. Hugo Logan Programme manager For most of our customers, solar energy is uncharted territory, where unknown quantities abound. When designing solar energy generation systems we ensure that we communicate every detail from the core business case to the precise anticipated energy outputs and how they relate to the user s demand profile. We also address the impact on tenancy arrangements and the practical side of physical installation. Transparency is the key word in every proposition we submit. The power behind NWT Energy an established European brand NWT is a well resourced, established brand with some of Europe s largest utility-scale solar energy installations in its portfolio. The organisation s success and growth follows significant investment in PV technology development and knowledge generation. The UK business, a British company based in Mid Sussex, includes specialists in every aspect of implementing solar energy generation systems on a commercial scale. We implement systems nationwide. Our policy is to be accountable in every aspect of our performance. Every client relationship and installation is led by a director and you will find communication is the key word from initial consultation through to implementation and ongoing maintenance. Supporting our technical teams are planning experts, specialist legal and financial advisors, and a knowledgeable customer support team based in our offices in the UK. As we move towards an agreement on the specification for your solar power generation system, you ll find that our documentation and attention to detail leaves no doubt that we are fully committed to ensuring your investment and property are protected and enhanced to the end of our contractual agreement and beyond. 8

9 The leaders How, and why philosophy and who behind the complete the NWT SolarGain solar energy initiative solution we wouldn t do to ensure that you get the best possible deal from solar NGthat energy generation. Tim Haffenden Technical director Our focus on commercial, larger systems, rather than competing in an over-supplied residential market, gives us the opportunity to develop appropriate solutions for individual applications. The installation of the system is just the start of a long relationship, and our business depends on dependable, long term energy generation and system management, so we work solely with proven components and design systems that ensure maximum efficiency and relevance to our customer s needs. Michal Galda Managing director Ours is an organisation with multiple missions. While investing in a substantial solar energy plant portfolio and building a sound business as an energy supplier, we also share with our customers the financial benefits of solar power generation. Beyond this mutual commercial advantage, though, we believe that large-scale, renewable energy generation will help meet the challenges we all share as we seek new ways to reduce our CO 2 emissions. Four simple steps to SolarGain energy generation Step 1: assess Step 2: design Step 3: install Step 4: support We evaluate your site, understand what you need and prepare an economic evaluation which will give you a full picture of the economic benefits and finance options open to you. We will explain how our range of financial models works so that you can make informed decisions. We design a solar power station that takes into account your physical requirements, informed by sound financial modelling, tariff analysis, and consultation with planning authorities. Our system proposal will be finely detailed and ready for implementation upon your approval. Unlike other commercial solar energy brands, we take full responsibility for every aspect of installation, using our own teams or contractors committed to our stringent standards. We manage the connection with the grid and every system is rigorously tested prior to hand over. We have 24/7 remote access to every system we implement. Our management systems continuously provide detailed performance reports and we share these with you as part of our maintenance agreement. Our engineers are on short notice call out and maintain quarterly detailed site inspections. NWT Energy investing in your SolarGain 9
