Workshop on Investment & Development in Africa18 October 2012
• Two of the world’s leading small wind manufacturers• Evance based in UK, Zephyr based in Japan
• Agreement signed in March 2012• Distribution and support of each companies products in local
geographies• Evance – Europe• Zephyr - SE Asia• Sharing resources for Africa and North America
• Sharing technology & engineering expertise• Applications in both developed & developing world
• On grid and off grid for remote/rural communities
• Telecom is a focus in remote areas• Zephyr Airdolphin – suitable for existing infrastructure• Evance R9000 – targeted at new installations
About Evance
4
• Manufacturing small wind turbines for over 12 years• R9000 was small wind turbine* of choice in UK – 2011• 14th fastest growing private technology company in UK
2011
• 1,500 turbines installed• Producing around 1.7GWh of energy per year• Over 8,900 tonnes of CO2 emissions saved per year • Equivalent of taking around 3,900 cars off the road
• Installations across the world• Applications in farms, telecoms,
transport, education, ...

About Zephyr
5
• Established in 1997• Spearheaded a joint research
consortium in 2002• Along with members from government,
industry and academia• To design the world’s most efficient, light-
weight small wind turbine• The Airdolphin
• Airdolphin series debuted in 2006• Sold through a worldwide dealer network in
over 30 countries
• More than 3,000 Airdolphins installed

Renewable Energy in the Developing World
8
• In 2008, more than 1.5 billion people had no access to electricity• 85 % of those lived in rural areas• Electricity is a basic precondition for almost all aspects of modern life
• Provision of a stable and reliable access to electricity in rural areas is a major social, economic and environmental change• Contributes to the alleviation of poverty, illiteracy, hunger, thirst and
disease
• The fight against climate change is one of the greatest challenges for the international community• Electrification means higher CO2 emission
• Renewable energies are the solution• Hybrid systems (renewables combined with conventional energies) • More climate friendly than traditional diesel-run systems and more
efficient • Higher investment costs are coupled with far lower running costs• Break even can be achieved within 3-5 years
Workshop on Investment & Development in Africa18 October 2012
Renewable Energy and Telecom
• The GSMA Green Power for Mobile Programme launched September 2008• To ‘extend mobile beyond the grid’ through the promotion of
renewable energy technologies and energy efficient base stations
• Goal to help the mobile industry use renewable energy sources• Solar, wind or sustainable bio-fuels• To power 118,000 new and existing off-grid base stations in
developing countries by 2012• Recently, this figure has reached over 20,000
• Estimate 2.5 billion litres of diesel per annum would be saved• Annual carbon emissions would be cut by up to 6.8 million
tonnes

Governmental & Private Enterprise Collaboration
• Tremendous opportunity for deployment of renewable energy in Africa• 589 million people without electricity• 77.3% of the rural population• Abundant wind and solar resources
• Requires co-operation of Government• Support of enterprise in political persuasion
and awareness• Overseas aid programs to ‘kick start’ markets
• Private enterprise collaboration• Significant sized projects need multi-national support• Banks to fund projects, industry to provide solutions
• Development of UK business in Africa• Evance-Zephyr collaboration a model for others• Involvement of local companies
