This document summarizes Water en Energiebedrijf (W.E.B.) Aruba N.V.'s presentation to Parliamentary committees regarding a proposed electricity tariff increase. It outlines that W.E.B. has accomplished a 40% reduction in heavy fuel oil consumption through investments but faces rising fuel costs and a drop in electricity sales. Without a tariff increase, W.E.B. projects ongoing losses, inability to fund future operations and investments, and non-compliance with financial covenants. The proposed tariff increase would allow W.E.B. to further reduce fuel consumption and increase renewables while improving its financial position and compliance with financial ratios.

5. Current realities
 Increase Fuel Oil expenses
 Increased handling fees from US$ 2.40 to 6.50 (by Valero).
 Change of invoicing method to delivered price (by Valero).
 Higher Fuel Oil consumption (WEB), due to:
• Equipment not operating at optimal efficiency levels.
o Increased wind energy production
 Drop in electricity sales combined with a high peak demand.

8. Current realities
The year-to-date result up to July 2014 + the forecasted trend
provide the following outlook, if the tariff is not increased:
Current realities in Afl. in Millions & Ratio's Norm 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018
Cash at end of period - before increase (15.0) 3.7 (20.4) (42.5) (68.2) (77.8) (87.5)
Net profit before tax 18.0 (3.1) (1.8) (7.5) (8.0) 1.6 (1.2)

Outlook is negative:
 Insufficient funds to fund operation and future investments
 Poor financial performance resulting in yearly losses
 Non-compliance with financial covenants – unable to obtain financing

9. The road ahead
Strategy WEB Aruba for 2014–2018:
 Further reduce dependency on Heavy Fuel Oil.
 Enhance production plant automation with Intelligent
Generation Management System (IGMS)
 Introduce Energy Storage solutions
 Further implementation of affordable renewable technologies

10. The road ahead
Strategy WEB Aruba for 2014–2018:
 Investments for 2014-2018 of Afl. 211 Million.
 Realize an extra HFO reduction of approx. 20% or Afl. 80
Million/year.
 Increase renewable penetration from 17% to approx. 40%.

12. Financial outlook
Tariff adjustment required! The adjustment is based on the
following assumptions:
Income/expenses:
 Reduced electricity sales for 2014, 2015 and 2016
 Reduced operating expenses
Investments:
 Delayed Windpark Urirama
 Delayed SWRO III (fixed plant)

13. Increase Electricity tariff to ELMAR as of October 1st, 2014. The
financial impact is as follows:
Cashflow in Afl. in Millions Norm 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018
cash at end of period - before increase (15.0) 3.7 (20.4) (42.5) (68.2) (77.8) (87.5)
cash at end of period - after increase (15.0) 3.7 (19.5) (19.3) (23.2) (13.0) (2.8)
cumulative increase in cashflow 1.0 23.2 45.1 64.7 84.7
Financial outlook in Afl. in Millions & Ratio's Norm 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018
