AGENDA FOR TODAY

1. What is RoSEFF?

Why Sustainable Energy?

Safe, clean and sustainable – a major challenge for the 21st Century • Meeting needs for heating, cooling, electric power and transportation

• Without causing harmful repercussions for future generations

• Displacing fossil fuels – on which we are today overwhelmingly dependent

The good news is that we understand the problems of fossil fuels... • cost – we need to dig deeper and travel further to find oil, coal and gas

• geopolitics – as lowest cost fossil fuels are far from energy markets, can lead to crises/conflicts

• environment – as evidence mounts of negative impact the health of both humans and our planet

... and we know the solutions to lower our fossil fuel dependence • energy efficiency – doing more with less

• renewable energy – capturing inexhaustible resources from the sun, earth, wind and water

• behavioural change – finding ways to avoid energy use without impacting quality of life.

25

Why are so many Romanian companies investing in Sustainable Energy?


Investing to lower energy costs can be profitable

26

Most companies invest for purely financial reasons


27

27

There are also many other reasons to invest…


Why borrow to invest in Sustainable Energy?

Energy Efficiency • Many investments feature a clearly identifiable and often short term positive financial return.

• Financial savings from lower energy bills provide a revenue stream to service the loan.

• Monthly energy cost savings persist (continue to save energy/money) after the loan is repaid.

• May feature non–energy benefits – such as increased productivity, better quality

– and perhaps other benefits associated with replacing older machines and production lines.

• There are often non-financial benefits

– warmer, more comfortable, better lit, more productive working environment for employees

Renewable Energy • Typically a more capital–intensive, longer term investment than energy efficiency

• Becomes increasingly profitable over time, as energy costs rise but 'free energy' remains free

28

29

Companies also invest to gain a competitive edge


A scary thought…

A scary thought…

Do your competitors have lower utility costs? What is the impact…

• on your competitiveness in a tough market?

• on your profitability?

• on your survival?
