19 Features of Generation Tender Processes TORs are issued by the Regulator. Suitable balance of Profitability / Risk The process is directed to facilitate projects financing and reduce the risk for lenders. Simple and transparent rules. Legal certainty is a key driver. Compliance and performance bonds attached to investment milestones, operation and maintainance of projects. It is designed to attract as many bidders as possible, and to award to those who offer the lowest prices. Indexation of capacity. PPAs according to technologies. The methodology has been standarized to promote participation

20 Transmission Expansion: PET The purpose of this process was to expand the transmission infraestructure. Awarded bid at a cost of US$ 370 millons, including the following milestones: Design, Building, Acquisition of rights of way, Supervision Operation and Maintenance for up to 50 years Km lines of 230 kv S/E New Expansions or adjustments It was awarded at the lowest Annual Fee (cannon) (US$ 32, 349,900) to provide the Transmission Service.

21 Transmission Expansion: PETNAC-2014 The purpose of this process was to build the transmission infraestructure. Awarded bid at a cost of US$ 255 millons, including the following milestones: Design, Building, Acquisition of rights of way, Supervision Operation and Maintenance for up to 50 years Km of Lines S/E New Expansions It was awarded at the Annual Fee (cannon) of US$ 33, 278,153 to provide the transmsission service. It will allow the connection of 2,100 communities that currently do not have access to electricity.

26 The Natural Gas Pipeline Mexico-Guatemala Initiative The possibility of introducing natural gas through a pipeline from Mexico into Central America through Guatemala has been under review at several levels. Two demand assessments, sponsored by the U:S. State Department and by the IDB were conducted last year. Also, a technical working group under the leadership of the Ministry of Energy and Mines has been carrying out a series of meetings with the respective counterparts from the Mexican government in order to determine the feasibility of the initiative and an action plan. The political turmoil that took place in Guatemala during 2015 slowed down the process. In the meantime, Honduras and El Salvador expressed their interest in being part of the initiative and the political process involved in broadening the scope of the initiative continued to develop. Currently, the Guatemalan Government is awaiting that the results of the respective demand and access technical analyses in regards to the integration of Honduras and El Salvador are completed. The other awaited milestone is the result of the prospect studies of the Ocultan field (City Peten) are available in order to assess the economic feasibility of the pipeline vis-a-vis the potential local explotation and use for power generation of the City Peten natural potential gas production.

27 Conclusions Current over supply in combination with low oil prices have significantly dropped the spot prices favoring an approx. 30% tariff reduction to end users Discos can fulfill their supply needs and comply with regulatory requirements for the next 2-4 years through short term bidding processes In compliance with regulatory provisions, future long term tender processes to add new capacity would have to start before year end to cover demand growth and expiration of the last PPAs pre-existing to the reform Those future tenders will have to follow the guidelines of the national energy policy (matrix diversification, competitive prices and reliability aspects) as well as to continue promoting exports to the MER
