ELECTRICITY AND NATURAL GAS OVERVIEW Investors During the Transition Observations About Power Deals Reviewed Type Description Status Traditional CFE RFP s Power generation and gas pipelines. Continue strong in 1H2016. Special Situations Border Gen/Transmission assets Continue of interest in 1H2016. Clean Energy Renewable generation. Slowed between 2H2014 and 2H2015; renewed activity 1H2016. Clean Energy Cogeneration projects. Continue of interest in 1H2016. Structures and economics vary. 1Q2016 auctions have shifted focus to investment under New rules for clean energy. Situation still challenging for combined cycle projects independent of CFE. Difficult to structure in the absence of PPAs and marketing entities. Project finance structures challenging; bias for larger amounts of equity; favors corporates. Overall, investment depends in part on market design specifics that CENACE and stakeholders develop as well as forthcoming policy vehicles. Source: Que Advisors Page 8

Conclusions Page 12
CONCLUSIONS Mexico Electricity Sector Reform Milestones Reached Independence of system operator. General consensus on market design. First system expansion plan (PRODESEN 2015-2029). Conceptual design for CFE separation. Start of operations for Spot Market Plan for CFE Restructuring First auction for long term clean energy and CEL contracts Next Steps First successful auction for long term conventional energy contracts Implementation of CFE Restructuring First contracts and associations for transmission Market enhancements Source: SENER, Que Advisors Page 13
CONCLUSIONS Mexico Electricity Sector Reform Smart Grid Issues to Watch For Reliability metrics. Reliability upgrades. Demand response and distributed resources are contemplated. Further clarity on bidding/aggregation processes developing. Development of more robust stakeholder processes. Scarcity pricing definition and management part of Stage 2 market. Certain adjudication functions of the Market Monitor to be determined. The role and structure of Supplemental Reserves and Ancillary Services as part of Stage 2 market. Implementation of forward products and contract terms envisioned energy, power ( capacity ), and clean energy especially longer or extendible. Settlement process of forward commitments between generators and capacity-responsible load serving entities. Details on CENACE and SENER establishment of a Clearinghouse. Our initial view is that product standardization will be difficult without a Clearinghouse in Stage 2. Source: SENER, Que Advisors Page 14

MAJOR TRENDS IN NORTH AMERICA ELECTRICITY Mexico Retail Energy Prices Existing Tariff Structures Retail electricity prices in Mexico vary widely between different consumer classes and regionally. Agriculture and Residential consumers have the lowest tariffs, with agriculture clients paying less than a third of the second least expensive group. Medium and large enterprises pay roughly the same tariffs as industrial and residential clients. Customers in the services and commercial sectors pay the highest retail tariffs. 0.25 0.20 0.15 0.10 0.05 0.00 Average Electricity Retail Tariff by Type of User (USD $/kwh at Constant Exchange Rate) 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 Residential Services Commercial Agriculture Industrial Medium Enterprises Big Enterprises Source:.
