Developments 2016-2020

Technology development within commercial constraints

“Energy-up, Cost down, Risk down”

Development of a new semi-sub foundation system: UFS

Improving the T2 turbine energy yield

Smart hybrid island grid, off-grid test center

Developing and testing the T3 turbine

Financial engineering

Multi-MW fund for tidal energy project developments

Exclusive project development rights for 8 sites in NL, UK and CA

Market development in UK & Ireland, Canada, South-Korea, ASEAN

Universal Floating System UFS

Fully integrated up to 2 MW product

Designed for array configurations

Building forward on proven T2 turbines

Extreme high survivability (storms)

Low visual impact

Easy accessibility for onsite service

Commercial solution for established FIT

Easy install, only small workboats required

Local supply chain can be involved for installation and service operations

Low OPEX and local content

UFS dimensions

Tocardo’s UK project portolio EMEC, Fall of Warness 2MW

PTEC, Isle of Wight, 20MW

Morlais Energy, West Anglesey Demonstration Zone, 15-30MW

~60 x UFS ~300 x T2 turbines

Isle of Man, 30MW

In discussion with agnostic project developers

EMEC project – Fall of Warness - Scotland

EMEC is the globally leading demonstration and test site for tidal and wave energy

20 year berth lease agreement for commercial demonstration array

Location: Berth 6 in the Fall of Warness at the Orkney islands in Scotland

Resource: max. water velocity is 4.2m/s, rock bottom

The site is consented, PPA in place, there’s a subsea power cable and onshore power station

Superior supply chain locally available, which makes this an ideal location for testing the first UFS

Project size: 1,25 MW installed capacity with UFS systems.

Battery storage may be added to make the project a hybrid

Water speed >4m/s

PTEC project – Isle of Wight - England

PTEC is a fully consented 30MW project

South of the Isle of Wight in England

Project development by Perpetuus Tidal Energy Centre

Tocardo is to install 20MW over 16 UFS platforms

Morlais project

Site managed by Mentor Mon - a third sector social enterprise delivering projects across North Wales in various sectors

Received Agreement for Lease from the UK’s Crown Estate – area of 35km2

Zone divided into 8 sub-zones

Competitive tender process open to developers

Tocardo bid successful, 15MW berth

Sub-zones are allocated to developers

Up to 30MW capacity available per sub-zone

Total site capacity intended 150MW

Creating a new industry

Learning from the wind energy sector

Levelized Cost of Energy (LCoI): the key success factor

Improving project IRR, lowering LCoE

Mission: “energy-up, cost down, risk down”

Learning curve of the industry

Bench mark is offshore wind energy in 5 years

The business case: selling energy

1. Energy income

FIT: € / MWh

Energy yield

2. CAPEX: capital expenses

Steel, copper, magnets, concrete, …

3. OPEX: operational expenses

Repairs, maintenance

4. CoC: cost of Capital

Bank interest

Return on investment

TOCARDO’s de-risking policy (1/2)

Implement lessons learned from wind industry

Lean development: start small with scalable technology

Over-engineered technology platform, “better safe than sorry”

i.e. blade test showed fatigue expected life time >60 years

Focus on near shore locations first <5MW

We are lucky in the Netherlands with our barriers

Smaller turbines means lower installation and O&M costs

Smaller thus cheaper installation vessels required

TOCARDO’s de-risking policy (2/2)

Tocardo’s technology roadmap shows 2MW machine on current technolgy platform

Work together with finance and insurance partners to understand todays requirements for turn key delivery

Complete product line based on proven product supply chain

All generator components have life time >20 years

Anticipated on shareholders who understand early stage capital goods market

Lean and mean organization with inner circle of supply chain and engeneering companies

Actively involved in government policies: local, national and European
