Solar Africa

Azuri, Oasis Africa Resources and Ministry of Power Lead the Charge to Provide Off-Grid Home Solar in Ghana 100,000 of Ghana’s off-grid households to benefit from pay-as-you-go solar power

ccra Ghana - Azuri Technologies announced at the Solar & Off-Grid Renewables West Africa Event its partnership with energy company Oasis African Resources to bring affordable, pay-asyou-go solar power to 100,000 off-grid homes in Ghana in the next 2 years. The project is supported by the Ministry of Power, and aligns with the Government's current efforts to bring reliable, renewable power to Ghana at scale. The deployment plan will focus on cocoa farming regions, and be distributed in association with agricultural co-operatives and women-based organisations. The largescale roll-out builds on previous pilot deployments in Ghana, which have proven the success of this solution for rural Ghanaians over the last 18 months. While the energy crisis in Ghana has been intensifying, discussion has mainly focused on the business and urban residential populations, who are now experiencing rolling blackouts of 24 hours or more. However, these recent debates obscure the pre-existing challenges for those Ghanaians, predominantly in rural regions, living permanently off the grid. Data available indicates that about 80% of Ghana's population have access to the grid; however, there are about 5 million people in rural Ghana, most of whom are not likely to be connected in the foreseeable future.

APRIL 2015

Azuri Technologies' internationally acclaimed home solar systems bring top-class European design with high-quality components to provide enough clean and reliable power for daily home lighting and mobile phone charging. The project will deploy Azuri's flagship product Quad, and include 4 highquality LED lamps, mobile phone charging and a Radio/MP3 player. Crucially, instead of an upfront cost, the system can be purchased through a Pay-As-You-Go model. This model allows you to use the systems while paying for it by the regular purchase of top-up credit, typically costing less than the lighting costs and phone charging fees being replaced. The Minister for Power, Dr. Kwabena Donkor, commented, “This initiative supports the Government 's commitment to fully incorporate renewable energy into our energy supply mix, as outlined by the President during his State of the Nation's Address. The Ministry of Power is pleased to support this project for rural households, and will also explore other avenues with Oasis, Azuri and other renewable energy partners to establish solar as a significant and reliable power source for micro enterprises in both rural and urban communities.” Isaac Kodom, CEO of Oasis, added, “Oasis has a vision to become a leading private power solutions company that delivers outstanding, innovative products to meet the demands of today's energy provision. We are committed to

developing long-term relationships with strategic partners in the energy sector – we are very excited by Azuri's innovation and the Government's commitment towards this initiative.” Simon Bransfield-Garth, CEO of Azuri, concluded, “Azuri is delighted to be helping bring high-quality domestic solar power to rural Ghana. Azuri's Quad solar home system brings affordable power to rural households and provides the starting point for families to embrace clean renewable power and ultimately to access power for economic gain.” About Oasis Oasis Africa Resources Ltd. (OAR) is a whollyowned Ghanaian company incorporated under the Companies Code (Act 179, 1963) of Ghana and headquartered in Accra. The company operates as an energy company with the aim of delivering improvements to power solutions in Ghana. The company primary objective is to establish the necessary and long sought-after conditions to increase the share of energy sources in the overall energy systems in Ghana. About Azuri Technologies Ltd. Azuri Technologies is a leading commercial provider of PayGo solar home systems to rural offgrid communities, with the widest reach of any provider in sub-Saharan Africa. Azuri's HQ is located in Cambridge, United Kingdom, with staff based throughout Africa.

wiss battery manufacturer Leclanché is to play a key role in the gamechanging renewable energy project currently being developed in Graciosa by Younicos, a German-American specialist in renewable energy integration. Leclanché will provide the complete Battery Energy Storage Solution (BESS), using its industry-leading lithium-ion batteries, which will be combined with Younicos Energy Management software. Additionally, an affiliate of Recharge ApS, one of Leclanché’s largest shareholders, will prov ide €3.5M in conver tible debt financing to the project’s operating company Graciolica, a wholly-owned s u b s i d i a r y o f Yo u n i c o s . B o t h announcements are milestones that will help accelerate implementation of the project in the coming weeks and will ensure substantial progress during the course of 2015. The world’s f irst megawatt- scale renewable energy plus storage system, currently being built on the island of 18

Graciosa in the Azores (Portugal), will set new standards for islands worldwide. Furthermore, by stabilizing the grid without the rotating mass of a conventional thermal engine, the system will enable the grid to be fully powered by wind and solar energy. The centerpiece of the system is a fully automated, intelligently managed 2.8 megawatt battery park integrated into the intelligent energy management system developed by Younicos. In addition, the system will incorporate wind (4.5 MW) and solar (1 MW) power resources, and intelligent inverters. The renewable energypowered grid will boost the island’s annual share of renewable energies, from a previous limit of 15 percent to up to 65 percent and thus allow the island to reduce its dependence on fuel imports. James P. McDougall, CEO of Younicos, on teaming with Leclanché: “This is an exciting partnership on many levels. We have long been intrigued by Leclanché’s BESS and are confident that – coupled with our software – it will provide an extremely stable

backbone of a fundamentally new energy system. At the same time, working with an industry-leading battery manufacturer such as Leclanché, and with Recharge as financing partner, underscores the ability of Younicos to lead micro-grid projects worldwide.” Anil Srivastava, CEO of Leclanché, commenting on the deal: “We are very excited to team up with Younicos for this truly innovative island solution. We are confident that our wide range of BESS, seamlessly integrated with Younicos’ global leading Energy Management Software, will make this project a reference in the industry. This is a strong validation of Leclanché’s growth strategy and of its position as a leader in this high potential, fast-growing compet it ive market. We commend Recharge for its vision to invest in this ground-breaking project and are honored to work together to successfully carry out the renewable energy transformation on Graciosa.” APRIL 2015

SUSTAINABLE ENERGY

MHPSE and CRI Offer Power-to-Methanol Solutions to Increase Flexibility and Sustainability of Power and Process Industry Reykjavik Iceland and Duisburg Germany Carbon Recycling International (CRI), a pioneer in power-to-methanol technology, and Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems Europe (MHPSE), a market and technology leader in the design and construction of thermal power plants, today announced a strategic alliance to deliver power-tomethanol solutions to increase operation efficiency of coal power and chemical plants. Methanol is in high demand as a basic chemical and fuel for transport. Power-tomethanol is a viable technology for large-scale storage of wind and solar power. The companies will market and deliver CRI's power-to-methanol technology, (Emissions to Liquid -ETL) and MHPSE's expertise in the integration of thermal power systems and environmental engineering equipment to enable power plants to operate at economic capacity levels, even when large variations in d eman d an d su p pl y are i m p o sed by intermittent electricity from renewable sources on the grid. The companies will also provide energy upgrade solutions to chemical manufacturers for hydrogen recovery and carbon dioxide capture from flue gas to produce low carbon intensity methanol. CRI is the first company to demonstrate industrial solutions in power-to-methanol production, by capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) from power plant flue gas, by developing large-scale conversion of renewable energy to hydrogen, and by reacting

hydrogen and carbon dioxide to produce methanol . CR I 's power-to -methanol production plant in Iceland, which has been operating since 2012, produces ultra-low carbon intensity methanol that is used for biodiesel manufacturing and gasoline blending. The plant has recently been expanded to 4000-t/year production capacity. A joint demonstration of load-following operation of power-to-methanol technology with a power plant will be demonstrated in the ongoing EU research project MefCO2 [Grant Agreement No. 637016] at the power plant in Lünen, Germany. Full commissioning and operation at Lünen is scheduled in 2017. Meanwhile, in even shorter term, other installations in industry can be realized economically at full commercial scale. Examples include iron and steel mills, which can realize significant carbon reduction in primary steel production with simultaneous methanol production. MHPSE has both extensive know-how and a longstanding track record in the design and construction of high efficiency powergeneration systems as well as integration of environmental engineering systems in modern power plants. Many of the largest thermal power plants in Europe have been spearheaded by MHPSE. "This alliance allows Carbon Recycling International to gain the ability to market and deliver its power-to-methanol equipment and

systems to clients in the power industry and chemical sector across Europe," remarked KC Tra n , C EO a n d c o - f o u n d e r o f C R I . "Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems Europe has been a leader for many decades in the design and construction of thermal power plants in Europe and their team brings unique capability and understanding of the needs of power systems operators dur ing the important transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy." “With a growing share of energy from solar and wind power on the electric grid, coal power plants need to meet greater variations in power demand to maximize operating capacity and plant efficiency. This goal can be accomplished immediately with Carbon Recycling International's unique power-tomethanol solution which allows power plants to use excess capacity to store energy efficiently in liquid fuel which is easily stored or transported," remarked Dr. Matthias Jochem, Chief Sales Officer of Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems Europe and Member of the Board. “The power to methanol solution from CRI in combination w ith M H P SE's thermal generation and environmental technology allow us to extend our portfolio in thermal power plant engineering services that fit with the need of existing power plants as well as the demand for cleaner and more efficient plants to replace the aging European fleet."
