1 WindFloat Pacific California Offshore Wind Power Forum UC Davis June 2013

2 2 Principle Power, Inc. Established in 2007 Staff strategically positioned in US (Seattle, Portland, Berkeley) and Europe (Lisbon, London). European Subsidiaries: Principle Power (Europe) Ltd, Principle Power Portugal, SA. Mission To increase renewable energy generation worldwide through the sale of WindFloats to offshore wind project developers and utilities. Technology The WindFloat - core IP patented and integrated system patent pending. Enables offshore wind farms to be developed independent of water depth and at lower cost using innovative floating foundations (the WindFloat). Primary Markets Portugal Framework agreement with EDP for up to 150MW offshore wind farm. WindFloat Project selected as top floating wind EC NER300 candidate. UK Opportunity for Market Entry Scottish territorial water ( 80%) and Round 3 sites ( 45%) are immediately addressable with the WindFloat (water depth >40m). US Near Term Pilot Scale Deployment Tremendous resource potential near favorable costal energy markets. Jones Act limitations on vessel spread eliminated by WindFloat. Floating foundations present the only solution to West Coast, Great Lakes and island development. Japan Decommissioning of nuclear facilities and Feed-in-Tariff transform opportunity Resource potential, terrestrial constraints, urgency demand floating solutions Other Medium Term Markets Germany, France, Spain and Korea

3 Why Floating Offshore Wind? Offshore Wind Advantages Higher wind resource and less turbulence Large ocean areas available Onshore sites are scarce Transportation logistics/larger turbines Turbine noise not an issue Why Floating? Limited shallow water sites Fixed structures cost-prohibitive in deeper water Reduced visual impact Deployment simplicity Access to the best wind resource

4 4 The WindFloat Turbine Agnostic Conventional: 3-blade, upwind Partnership with manufacturers No major redesign Control system software Tower structural interface Static Water Ballast Stability Used to achieve operating draft Heave Plates Dynamic Stability Move platform natural response above the wave excitation (entrained water) Viscous damping reduces platform motions Hull Trim System Efficiency Tower is vertical No mean pitch Closed-loop with redundant path

5 WindPlus, S.A. Phases Capacity Units Location Turbine O&M period Pilot 2 MW 1 Aguçadoura Grid connected ~5km offshore 40-50m water depth 2MW 24 months Pre- Commercial ~27 MW ~ 5 Pilot Zone Grid connected ~12km offshore 70m water depth 3MW to 7MW 20 years Commercial Add ~125 MW 20+ Same as phase 2 > 6 MW 20 years

6 Fabrication Using Existing Capabilities Installation Fabrication Fabrication/ Assembly

7 The WindFloat Prototype Operational 5km Offshore in Portugal 7

8 8 Opportunities to Reduce Cost Environmental Impact and Geotechnical Requirements No Piling! eliminate noise mitigation equipment, pile rejection, weather dependence. Complete decommissioning all infrastructure fully recoverable. Reduced core sampling in field structurally decoupled. Flexible Site Location Depth independent 40m minimum depth, cost/m increase linear. Conventional mooring inexpensive, uses steel chain and cable (polyester in deeper water). Drag embedment anchors effective in variable conditions including clay, sand and layered soil. Produce more energy site based on resource energy density rather than shallow outcroppings. Serial Production Scaling of WindFloat to Turbine output is non-linear 25-30% increase in hull weight for 3 6MW. Every WindFloat is a project/region is identical learning curve of 80% conceivable. Fabrication technique is modular distributed manufacturing, final assembly in 2-3 weeks. Quayside Commissioning and WTG Installation All commissioning activity completed onshore onshore labor rates infrastructure. Reduced weather dependence everyone comes to work everyday in shipyard

9 9 Opportunities to Decrease Risk Marine Spread Vessels required to install WindFloat moorings and hull have North Sea fleet size in the hundreds. Inter-array Cables No jacking up in field, mooring lines sterilize sea bed no cable strikes or burial requirements. Interface Risk Offshore contractor only required to manage mooring and tow-out clearer contract definitions/timing. Weather Dependence Towing operation unencumbered by variable weather, hookup only takes hours. Return to Shore for Unanticipated Maintenance Hookup operation is reversible units can return to shore for major repairs to WTG Type Certification of Turbine WindFloat is already being considered in the context of commercial projects and re-certification of turbines for use on floating foundation path and requirements currently being defined.

10 WindFloat Pacific Offshore Wind Demonstration Project 30 MW Five WindFloats with 6MW Siemens turbines 15 miles due west of Coos Bay, Oregon 350 meters water depth

11 WindFloat Pacific - Site/Location Key Features Strong wind resource Initial NREL estimate ~ 8.8 m/s Deep water offshore Bottom-fixed structures not feasible Industrial community Deep, protected harbor No Air-draft issues between assembly location and project site Favorable state policy disposition Renewables/ocean energy Existing BOEM state task force (Oregon) Organized Fishing Presence Consensus endorsement of project location
