The project Consortium (KCSFC) envisages to bring a large-scale renewable energy generator io the Whitsunday region . Kelsey Creek Solar Farm - up io dare the largest solar farm in Queensland and the third largest in Australia. Community support and local sourcing are the cornerstones for Kelsey Creek Solar Farm. Benefn s created for the Whitsunday region will be employment opportunities, local investment, and nationwide promotion as a sustainable region supplied by renewable energy Major project development tasks are undertaken by specialist companies from within the Whitsunday region. The plant design and Engineering know-how is provided by an Australian engineering consultancy specialising in solar photovoltaic systems. Global best-practice in Construction & Operat ion will come from international project partners who have a wealth of experience in the deployment of large-scale solar PV around the world.

The $225m project will be located at the Upper Ross on a disused mango plantation. Townsville was chosen because of the high solar irradiance in the region, and its average 320 days of sunshine annually. The site offers proximity to the grid connection point at the Ross Bulk Supply Substation as well as su itable flat land free from environmental constraints. The solar farm will comprise approximately 450,000 crystalline solar photovoltaic modules, know more commonly as 'PV modules or ·solar panels'. The solar panels are identical 1n type but larger 1n size to those used in residential solar installations located on homes throughout Australia. The solar panels will be installed on ground-mounted frames that will slowly track the daily horizontal movement of the sun. The solar panels will generate direct current ("DC') electricity that will be inverted to alternating current ('AC') via containerised power conversion units. The power conversion units located within the site that will feed AC electricity into an ons1te power reticulation system before the power 1s centrally collected and dispatched to the local electricity distribution network via the Ross River Bulk Supply Substation. ESCO Pacific received Development Approval from Townsv1lle City Council 1n June 2016. Work to secure a grid connection with Powerlink is currently underway. The project will take approximately 12 months to build and subject to approvals it is expected that work will commence 1n the first quarter of 2017.

Tuwnsville Bulletin February 9, 2017 i 2:04pm Subscriber only TOWNSVILLE zinc refinery Sun Metals has achieved financial closure and executed an Engineering and Procurement Contract for a ns megawatt solar farm at its Stuart property, signalling the start of a $182 million project expected to create hundreds of jobs. The contract has been signed with resources, energy and infrastructure group RCR Ltd which will build the solar plant to supply electricity to the refine1y. More than one million panels will be installed over about i3oha of refinery land. Once constructed, the solar farm will be the largest single consumer solar farm in Australia, supplying 29 per cent of the refinery's current base load power needs of just over 900,000 MWh per annum. Sun Metals Corporation chief financial officer Kathy Danaher said the solar farm would have a highly innovative design, allowing the refine1y to draw power from the national electricity grid as well as from the solar farm to dynamically manage energy needs. "The project will be funded totally out of Sun Metals' cash and the project has not been subsidised by any state or federal fonded renewable scheme," Ms Danaher said. "The project has progressed from expression of interest to a full y executed EPC in under three months which is an exceptionally short time frame for such a substantial project. "Sun Metals is helping to showcase that large scale solar is becoming more cost-effective for large commercial and industrial loads." Ms Danal1 er said studies indicated the project had the lowest construction costs per watt of solar farms in Australia. The $182 million project will stimulate employment in the Townsville region. http./lwww.tO'Nnsvillebulletin.com.ai.ibus1ness/su11-metals-achieves-financial-close-on-162m-solar-farm-at-tcmnsv1lleJneNs-story/8f886e3fe331 353abl657dc25ec6a278 112 2/1412017 Sun Metafs achieves financial close on $182m solar farm al Townsville I Townsville But letin Ms Danaher said the project was expected to create 250 construction jobs at peak construction the project. Construction is due to commence in April with completion in the second quarter of 2018. "There are a number of large scale solar projects earmarked for North Queensland, and with Sun Metals' being the first it will spearhead and help develop the creation of a solar construction workforce, wh ich may be used for other projects, as they come on line," Ms Danaher said. RCR spokesman Adam Kilgour said the project would require a range of skills which they believed were available in Townsville. "We will try and procure as much of those skills locally as possible," Mr Kilgour said. http://INww . towns vi ll ebul letin. eom . au/'busi nessls un-metals ~ achieves- financial - cl ose.on- 182m-sol ar-farm-a t -tO'Nnsvillelnew s - s tOl' y/Bf886e3fe331353ab1657dc25ec6a278 212 2114/2017 Pra,ect Del.alls -SusM River Solar Fcvm ESCO Pacific PROJECT H orne ;, Pro1ect Details Project Capacity 100 MW Project Cost $175 million Project Area 176 hectares Technology Fixed or Horizontal Tracking Local Government Area Fraser Coast Regional Council G rid Connection Existing 66kV Transmission Line The 0u::.dn ~t v~ r ,_,,Jar Farm is a utility scale renewable energy project, with an output measuring up to 100 megawatt (MW), that will generate clean and renewable electricity from the power of the sun.

  • Response to Tilt Renewables Target Company Statement
    26 September 2018 The Tilt Renewables Independent Adviser Report is overly optimistic and not supported by market benchmarks On 17 September 2018, Tilt Renewables Limited ("Tilt Renewables") released its Target Company Statement and Independent Adviser Report. These documents included a valuation range for Tilt Renewables shares of between NZ$2.56 and NZ$3.01 per share. Infratil believes there are a number of areas where the independent adviser's assumptions are significantly more favourable than market comparatives. As such, Infratil has commissioned an independent report from Grant Thornton Corporate Finance Pty Ltd ("Grant Thornton") to review the assumptions underlying the Northington Partners ("Northington") valuation. Grant Thornton has extensive experience in preparing independent expert reports with strong credentials in valuing renewable energy businesses. Grant Thornton has concluded that a number of assumptions adopted by Northington are overly optimistic and do not fully allow for the risks of the Tilt Renewables operating portfolio, leading to a valuation range that is higher than fair market value. The assumptions that Grant Thornton considered overly optimistic include: • The market required rate of return, or weighted average cost of capital ("WACC"), assumed by Northington for Tilt Renewables’ operating wind farms is too low. The current uncertainty in the Australian political environment and energy market is not adequately reflected in the Northington assessment of WACC, nor is the future exposure to merchant energy prices that Tilt Renewables faces following the expiry of its existing revenue contracts (revenue contracts in respect of approximately 10% of annual output are expected to expire from December 2018). Northington’s assumption is also materially lower than the WACC Tilt Renewables itself used to test the fair value of its operating wind farms for impairment in its 2018 annual report and the WACCs used by all independent research analysts who publish analysis on Tilt Renewables.
