The electricity sector in Argentina constitutes the third largest power market in Latin America. It relies mostly on thermal generation (54% of installed capacity) and hydropower generation (41%). The country still has a large untapped hydroelectric potential. The prevailing natural gas-fired thermal generation is at risk due to the uncertainty about future gas supply.
Faced with rising electricity demand (over 6% annually) and declining reserve margins, the government of Argentina is in the process of commissioning large projects, both in the generation and transmission sectors. To keep up with rising demand, it is estimated that about 1,000 MW of new generation capacity are needed each year. An important number of these projects are being financed by the government through trust funds, while independent private initiative is still limited as it has not fully recovered yet from the effects of the Argentine economic crisis.
The electricity sector was unbundled in generation, transmission and distribution by the reforms carried out in the early 1990s. Generation occurs in a competitive and mostly liberalized market in which 75% of the generation capacity is owned by private utilities. In contrast, the transmission and distribution sectors are highly regulated and much less competitive than generation.
Private and state-owned companies carry out generation in a competitive, mostly liberalized electricity market, with 75% of total installed capacity in private hands. The share in public hands corresponds to nuclear generation and to the two bi-national hydropower plants: Yacyretá (Argentina-Paraguay) and Salto Grande (Argentina-Uruguay). The generation sector is highly fragmented with more than ten large companies, all of them providing less than 15% of the system's total capacity. Power generators sell their electricity in the wholesale market operated by the CAMMESA.
CAMMESA S.A., a wholesale electricity market administrator offers operation and dispatch of generation; price calculation in the spot market; and the administration of the commercial transactions in the electricity market. The company also purchases and sells electric power from abroad and to other countries. CAMMESA S.A. offers consulting services. The company was founded in 1992 and is based in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
n 2005, Argentina imported 6.38 TW·h of electricity while it exported 3.49 TW·h. Net energy imports thus were about 3% of consumption.
Argentina also imports electricity from Paraguay, produced by the jointly built Yaciretá Dam. On 18 September 2006 Paraguay agreed to settling its debt of $11,000,000,000 owed to Argentina for the construction of Yaciretá by paying in electricity, at the rate of 8,000 GWh per year for 40 years.
Total electricity coverage in Argentina was as high as 95% in 2003. However, about 30% of the rural population lacks access to electricity.

Next generation opportunities in utility scale solarMEC Intelligence
The solar industry is steaming ahead, and 2016 was another record year with a global market of around 74 GW installed, up 30% from 2015. The current projection is that the total installed capacity will be more than double from today’s 320 GW to some 680 GW by 2020 (21% annual growth), and reach 1,300 GW by 2025. At this rate, solar will overtake wind by 2020 in terms of annual capacity added, and by 2022 have more total capacity installed. Solar will then be placed right at the top across all energy sources in terms of new capacity added, representing a third of new capacity in 2020.
The utility-scale segment has been a key driver of the fast growth of solar during the last years, reaching almost 60% of all solar capacity installed in 2016 (Figure 3). A major trend for this segment has been a shift from mature European markets like Germany and Italy, which have relatively less utility-scale projects and more rooftop installations, to emerging markets like China and India, where utility-scale solar dominates.
According to report, utility-scale solar is a segment dominated by the standard multi-crystalline technology, typically deployed in 20-100 MW ground-mount projects, followed by monocrystalline and thin film (Figure 2). The other solar technologies deployed in utility projects are concentrated high-efficiency PV (CPV) and concentrated solar power that converts heat into steam (CSP). These technologies require high levels of direct solar irradiation (ideally desert conditions), which limits their market adoption, and these technologies have also struggled to bring down costs as fast as standard PV due to the smaller volumes deployed (~2%)
This document discusses the development of utility-scale solar and provides a perspective on opportunities and challenges for energy incumbents. It is a starting point for a discussion that many incumbents are currently engaged in – is there a viable role for us to play in utility-scale solar, and what should the strategy be? Find out in this report.
The presentation highlights the role of utilities in Future with focus on Rooftop Solar, Demand Side Management, Net Metering, Automated Demand Response, Distributed Energy Resources, Microgrids, e-mobility, Advanced Energy Storage Systems.
The need for expanded nuclear energy is urgent. Global energy demand is expected to grow by at least 50% by 2035, with electric demand in the developing world expected to triple.
Presently, more than one billion people completely lack electricity access and billions more consume one tenth or less of the electricity per capita consumed in the OECD. Much of that supply is intermittent.
At the same time, 81% of the world’s energy, and two thirds of the world’s electricity, is derived from fossil fuels, while emissions from fossil fuel combustion are a major factor driving global climate change.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

With perfect geographic and market conditions, Argentina has reached a tipping point
Overview
Who we are
Objective
► Argentina has just announced a 9x oversubscription of its first solar PPA auction (2,834MW of capacity
offered for 300MW auctioned).
► We expect a 1.5GW auction to be hosted mid-2017 opening a wide door to the market.
► We are two Argentines, Tomas and Marcos, who met at Stanford University during a joint MBA and MS in
Renewable Energy.
► Tomas has 5 years of experience as an energy lawyer helping companies such as Credit Suisse, General
Electric and IFC navigate Argentina’s electricity market. Marcos has over 6 years of experience developing
combined cycle power plants and midstream infrastructure.
► We want to raise investor awareness and help Argentina produce cheap clean energy
Why Argentina? Why now?
Excellent Geographic and Market Conditions
Insolation High

Perfect timing
► A political shift has unlocked the opportunity. The country
has been ousted from international financial markets for 15
years. A new administration has turned the situation around,
creating opportunities for renewables project finance.
► New regulation provides well supported PPA’s: (i) PPA’s will
be guaranteed by Argentina and the World Bank; (ii) PPA’s will
be in US dollars; and (iii) renewables will have tax incentives,
dispatch and payment priority, and zero import tariffs.

consuming upgrades in transmission capacity.
Interconnection with Neighboring Countries
Argentina is connected with all of its neighbors. Total
interconnection capacity reaches 9.5 GW, which helps with
renewables intermittency and adds to the potential market.
Current transmission grid can absorb up to 2 GW of solar with no additional investment

(*) Data not available: previous administration failed to report Available Capacity Levels
Argentina is thirsty for energy. During the last decade,
severe under-investment led to blackouts and consumption
restrictions. Consumption grew and generation remained
flat, shrinking excess capacity to critical levels.
Argentina’s operating reserve is now 20% lower than the
historical average and demand is expected to grow.
Solar, with fast deployment times, has the potential to
quickly address the need for new capacity.

For the past 14 years, Argentina incentivized inefficient
diesel and fuel oil generation. The government did so to
cope with an increase in demand in times when long term
financing was not available.
Moreover, local gas production decreased, and Argentina
had to import gas in pipelines from Bolivia and LNG in ships.
Altogether, the lack of gas and the importation of liquid
fuels made fuel cost—and thus marginal prices—spike.

Argentina is back in the market
New market-friendly government has
moved quickly to solve the default
and eliminate market distortions that
kept investors away.
New regulation provides well-
supported PPA’s
Argentina will procure 300MW of
solar this year and ~1.5 GW on 2017
through PPA tender offers.
Argentina granted PPA bankability by
implementing sturdy guarantees.
Missed opportunity
Argentina has only 2.2 GW of spare
transmission capacity in the best
irradiation areas. At the pace of other
Latam markets, and at which
companies such as ENEL, Engie and
Jinko are moving, soon this capacity
will be saturated.
Project financing unavailable
Since Argentina’s default in 2001,
debt financing has been scarce. All
new generation capacity was directly
built by the government.
Lack of renewables regulation
Before October 2015, Argentina
lacked a regulatory framework for
renewable energy development.

End of default and holdout dispute
Argentina defaulted in 2001 and restructured the defaulted
debt in 2005 and 2010. However, a group of creditors did
not accept the restructuring (holdouts) and prevented
Argentina from making payments to restructured debt, which
cause the country to default yet again in 2012.
This situation has now changed. After 15 years, the new
government and the holdouts reached an agreement in
February 2016 after just three months of negotiations.
After the agreement, Argentina issued $16.5 billion in the
international markets, setting a 2x record as the largest
emerging market bond sale.
ArgentinaReturnedasInvestmentDestination|DefaultEnd
The new administration has quickly put Argentina on growth path, solving a 15 year default and
eliminating market distortions that hindered private investment
The immediate attention to paying
out the holdouts and listing in the
bond markets has created a
channel for private investment in
Argentina, that obviously didn't exist
before.
Argentina renewable energy
agenda is probably the most
interesting in the world at the
moment. We are expecting to be able
to finance some of the renewable
energy that is coming.

End of FX restrictions and plan to stop inflation
Four years ago, the former administration set restrictions on the
purchase of US dollars, foreign currency and capital flows. The new

Timing
The government has
scheduled two solar auctions
for USD denominated PPAs:
1st: September 2016 (300 MW)
2nd July 2017 (1.5 GW1)
The first auction is open only to
current ready-to-build projects.
Off-taker
The off-taker in the public
tenders will be the public
system operator
(CAMMESA). This company is
the only system operator in
Argentina and manages all the
electricity dispatch and
contracts.
PPA’s will have dispatch and
paying priority with CAMMESA
against thermal generation.
Requirements
Developers need sufficient
title to the land (option;
ownership; lease or
concession) and permits:
Interconnection. Federal
permit. Requires an
engineering transmission study
and takes 4 - 8 months after
filing.
Generator. Federal permit.
Takes 4 - 6 months.
Environment. Filing of
environmental assessment
with local government. Takes 1
- 3 months.
Special
Considerations
No cross-competition
between technologies (solar,
wind and others).
Congestion risk will be avoided
by limiting the winning PPA’s
to the maximum transmission
capacity in each node.

A trust funded by the Argentine Government – FODER – will
provide two levels of protection:
1. PPA payments guarantee
FODER will guarantee up to 12 months of PPA payments.
2. Put Option
In case of default, or impossibility to transfer profits abroad in
US dollars, the project company can force a sell.
FODER will purchase the project at 75% of original CAPEX
with 5% depreciation per year. This payment will be
backstopped by Argentina Treasury Notes.

At a time when more populist politics
are driving many countries away from
investment-friendly policies, Argentina
is quickly moving in the opposite
direction. Latin America’s fourth largest
economy is starting to open for
business.
Soon after taking office in December
2015, President Macri swept away
barriers to entry for private investors,
such as capital controls and trade
restrictions. Early fiscal adjustments to
reduce the comparatively high tax
burden and adjust subsidies were put
in motion, and, for monetary policy, the
peso printing presses finally slowed
and the currency floated. Early shock
therapy was unexpectedly successful,
for example with exports responding
quickly with a 25% year-over-year
increase in February 2016.
President Macri has decisively turned
away from the reckless economic
policies of former President Cristina
Fernández de Kirchner. We are
increasingly confident that Argentina’s
political and economic transition is
substantive and will open a range of
opportunities for investors.
The Macri government and the country
will undoubtedly have setbacks and
there is no guarantee of success, but
we think the door is now open for long-
term investors to consider Argentina.

Project Returns
At current expected PPA prices,
an investor that funds a 200MW
with $91M would provide a ~12%
IRR
Such 12% return should be
compared to current Argentina’s
sovereign yield – currently 6%.
Given the certainty and stability of
solar projects output the project
risk will mainly correlates with that
of the off-taker (Argentina).
Solar projects deliver stable cash flows resembling those of a fixed income instrument but with higher
yield. Once construction is over, initial investors can sell the project to later stage funds at a premium.
Project Assumptions
• PPA price: $0.06/kwh
• Cost per W installed $1.3/W
• Capacity Factor: 31.6%
Financing Assumptions
• Leverage percentage: 70%
• Cost of Debt: 1yr Libor + 400
bps ~6% (source: IFC)
• Debt Term: 20 yrs.

equity
12% IRR
Project Flip Returns
Once the project is operational and
construction risk disappears, it
becomes attractive for more
conservative/later stage investors.
The initial investor can then “flip”
and sell the operational project.
Profit will derive from the lower
discount rates at which de-risked
projects are valued.
The earlier the flip, the higher the
return.
Acquisition Assumptions
• Acquirer discount rate: 8%
• Acquisition year of operation:
1st year for 42% IRR; 4th year
for 17% IRR.

When the projects become operational and construction risk
disappears, they become attractive for more
conservative/later stage investors. Such investors are not
wiling to take construction risk and in return they discount
their cash flows at lower rates.
An investor can benefit form the reduction in projects risk by
flipping (selling) the projects. The earlier the sell, the higher
the return.

Once the projects are operational and construction risk has been stripped out, an investor can

To accurately predict solar returns we combined geospatial,
transmission, and qualitative data into our financial analysis.
Geospatial (GIS) analysis
Selected best locations based on 5 objective parameters: (i)
radiation (more is better); (ii) distance to transmission (max
5 miles); (iii) land slope (max 8 degrees) ; (iv) avg.
temperature (less is better); (v) flooding zones (excluded).
Qualitative analysis
We visited the 17 best sites from our GIS analysis, mapped
the area with drones, and obtained both quantitative and
qualitative data on soil type, land ownership, and pre-
existence of other projects -among other things- to refine our
shortlist.
Independent transmission study
Finally, we used data on maximum transmission capacity
per node and interconnection costs to compare locations
vis-a-vis each other and estimate best projects returns.
