This document describes an investment opportunity in a 19.86 MW photovoltaic park located in central Greece. The park has secured land, grid connection permits, and power purchase agreements guaranteeing a feed-in tariff for 20 years. Production is estimated at 1,410 kWh/kWp annually, resulting in annual revenues of €8.22 million, EBITDA of €6.73 million, and a net profit of €1.45 million for the project. An economic evaluation shows a 22.6% return on equity and a positive net present value even with high financing terms.

PV Park Investment Opportunity
The Opportunity
PV Force maintains in its portfolio a photovoltaic park in Central Greece
Greece.
The park will have a capacity of 19.86 MW and is located in
central Greece.
Production data gathered from operating PV parks in Greece have demonstrated better
production than expected according to the irradiation maps and we expect a net production of
1,400 KWh/KWp per year.
In accordance with the Greek legislation the Buyer will enjoy full dispatching to the grid and
guaranteed Feed In Tariff for 20 years.

Land
The land for the construction and operation of the PV park has been
secured by CL-AM Argithea by signing 10 lease agreements with local
land owners for a total area of 100 Hectares.
The lease agreements secure the use of the land for 20 years of operation.
The rent will be 3,000 Euro/Ha - year .

Connection to the Grid
The PV park will be connected to the grid via a
150/20 kv substation which will be built by the park
owner in the village of Vassili.
The new substation will be located adjacent to and
be connected to an exiting substation of the Public
Power Company of Greece.
Two 11 km underground 20 kv lines will carry the
electricity from the park to the new substation.
The small plot of land for the future substation was
leased by CL-AM from local owners for 3 years with
an extension option of 19 years.
Soil studies have demonstrated the suitability of the
plot as a site for substation
