  2. NUR ENERGIE COMPANY OVERVIEW A CSP developer in the Mediterranean Region Nur Energie Limited (“Nur Energie”) is a solar power plant developer and operator in the Mediterranean region, founded by a clean technology investment fund in London with ca. $100m assets under management Long-term Objective in Tunisa To build the first utility-scale solar export project between Northern Africa and Europe (target: 2000MW). Environmental and Economic Impact Study in progress with Comete Engineering. CSP Project Development: 2 plants under development in Greece: Applications for a 50MW plant in Rhodes and 42MW plant in Crete, with land secured and feasibility-stage completed, using BrightSource Energy Technology Strictly Private & Confidential Strictly Private & Confidential 2 2

  3. Development stage Highest quality DNI measuring device installed in November 2008, recording frequency every minute BrightSource Energy has completed a pre-FS confirming energy prediction and plant layouts Advanced discussions with Siemens and BrightSource for the design of the steam turbine Application submitted to regulatory authority and is under evaluation for the granting of electricity generation license Nur Energie - Existing Projects Overview Project highlights - Crete Location highlights: Optimal site in Greece with >100ha of gentle south facing slope Adjacent to existing 200MW power station – no grid connection & capacity constraints High radiation ca. 2300kWh/m2/y Securing land in competitive tender against major Spanish competitor No environmental / archaeological constraints Strictly Private & Confidential 3 3

  5. Accomplishment to date • Fully integrated techno-economic model confirms case for solar export opportunity • Pre-feasibility Study with Statnett Engineering establishing cable route between Tunisia and Italy • Short-list of sites identified in Southern Tunisia and terrain and impact studies started • Economic Impact Assessment started to identify benefits and economic opportunities in Tunisia 2530 kWh/y 2330 kWh/y 2430kWh/y Solar Export potential in Tunisia Nur Energie’s engagement in Tunisia HVDC is the only way to transport electricity across large distances, especially under water HVDC losses are 3% per 1000km whereas it is practically impossible to make the same transfer using alternating current Strictly Private & Confidential Strictly Private & Confidential 5 5

  6. Economics CSP is only at the beginning of exploiting economies of scale and learning curve-related cost reductions • Our economic models show that electricity can be landed at competitive prices in Europe at scale • Standardized Components of Solar Tower Systems allow for local production • Submarine HVDC cable link operates profitable between Holland and Norway (North Sea), and is put into service between Sardinia and mainland Italy (Mediterranean) Strictly Private & Confidential 6

  7. Nur Energie’s engagement in Tunisia Working in Tunisia since 2008 • Working with local partners • Joint-Venture with largest solar installer in Tunisia, SES S.a.r.l. • Tunisian company “Comete Engineering” leading on feasibility studies • Estimated 60% of value-add in solar projects can be generated locally • Nur Energie’s next steps in Tunisia • Economic Impact Study to quantify opportunities for Tunisian companies in the supply chain of solar CSP • Environmental Impact Study, especially studying water requirements and soil conditions • Building regional network with Tunisian companies and research institutions to establish local know-how base Strictly Private & Confidential 7

  8. Area needed to produce ~18,000GWh of solar electricity and meet 100% of Tunisian forecasted demand - 180km2 Area needed for proposed 2000MW solar export project by Nur Energie (~12,000GWh of annual production) - 120km2 Area needed to produce ~40,000GWh of solar electricity to cover 10% of Italian projected 2020 demand - 400km2 What Area would be required? Tunisian annual electricity consumption: ~15,000 GWh Tunisian land surface area 163,610km2 Strictly Private & Confidential 8
