PPCR’s Mission & Strategy

PPCR is a wholly-owned subsidiary of PPC S.A. and being the only vertically integrated RES

operator in Greece, its objective is to secure a leading position in the Greek RES market by the end

of the decade by increasing significantly its market share of the Greek RES market from 6%

currently to approximately 20%, contributing thus to the national green development vision and to

the creation of the foundations for sustainable development.

PPCR’s Strategy is founded on two central pylons:

1. The development of a portfolio in all RES forms, involving:

The construction of new large inland and island W/P’s involving major interconnection works

The construction of two of the largest PV stations in Europe and in the world as well as many smaller ones

The exploration of the high enthalpy geothermal fields in the Aegean islands

The construction of new Small Hydro electric stations

The development of hybrid systems

The development of Biomass

The planning of offshore wind parks

2. The strategic co-operations home and abroad, aiming to jointly develop RES projects and to achieve

exchange of knowhow

3

PPCR’s Strategic Levers

PPCR’s goal is to enhance its position in the Greek market by achieving critical mass through the

development of a sizeable, diversified asset portfolio

Well diversified portfolio by type of RES and market

• Historically present in RES development in Greece

• Involved in all commercial RES technologies

• Projects with the widest geographic dispersal

• Small projects with huge local significance

Investment decision making process in line with growth expectations

• Develop a faster and more flexible corporate structure and investment decisions making process in line with PPC procedures

Operational performance

• Optimize on operational and management performance so as to increase efficiency, margins and hence competitiveness

• Capitalizing on its employees’ technical expertise and operational experience, PPCR has a solid base to position itself among the most important players in the market

Extroversion via meaningful collaborations • Co-operation Agreements with strategic content

• Co-operations for unique and large projects

Biomass (general overview)

Presentation of the Project

Project’s Benefits

Conclusions

6

Electricity production from biomass in Europe and globally

Biomass contributes 14% of global

energy consumption (25% in

industrialized countries and 75% in

developing)

Approximately 860 TWh of biomass

energy (heat & electricity) are used

mainly in Europe and North America

Only 1.3% of world production an

energy comes from biomass (estimated

to be 2.4% in 2030)

The contribution of electricity from

biomass in energy balances of

individual countries varies from 0% to

10.9% (Finland)

7

Electricity production from biomass in Europe and globally

In the EU the development of electricity from

biomass burning solid forms has increased an

average of 14.7% annually from 2001 to 62,2

TWh in 2009

There are about 800 biomass power plants in

the EU with a total capacity of 7,1 GW

The countries with the highest concentration of

power plants of solid biomass is the Nordic

(Finland, Sweden) and also Germany and

Austria

The corresponding investment in developing

countries is based on the prevailing favorable

policy for over a decade, by subsidizing

biomass for electricity production

The indicative total area of the Region of Western Macedonia is 9,451,000 acres*.

According to these estimates in order to meet the needs of the 25MW biomass power

plant 1.4% of the total area (although the yields of energy crops is 1 ton / 0.1ha) or

0.7% of the total area (if the efficiency is 2 tons/ha) is required.

of power production

Biomass technology has reached a mature level (high capacity

factors)

Cogeneration can increase significantly the efficiency of the

plant

Constant power production improve grid’s stability

A biomass system (plant + supply chain) requires a large

number of working positions

Increase sustainability and improve economy of the region

Promising Technology especially when used in hybrid systems
