* Under construction; ** Proposed

## Under construction

• Capacity: 500 MW with expansion option to 850 MW

• 20,000 - 34,000 solar dish Stirling systems
Phase 1 of this project is to develop 500 MW of electricity generating capacity, which
will then be followed by Phase 2, which will involve an expansion up to 850 MW of
generating capacity.

Power output from this facility will be sold in accordance with a 20-year power purchase
agreement to Southern California Edison Company (www.sce.com), a subsidiary of
Edison International.

The project site for Solar Two is located in Imperial County in Southern

• Capacity: 300 MW with expansion options to 900 MW

• 12,000 - 36,000 solar dish Stirling systems
• 20-Year Power Purchase Agreement
Phase 1 of this site will consist of 12,000 solar dish Stirling systems that will be capable
of generating 300 MW of electrical power. Phase 2 of this will expand the number of
solar dish Stirling systems to 36,000 units, which will be capable of generating up to 900
MW of power.

The power generated at this site will be sold in accordance with a 20-year power
purchase agreement to San Diego Gas & Electric (www.sdge.com).
