 Photovoltaic Operations: Italy and Spain 
 

 Production of clean energy represents a growing portion of energy production. Today, the majority of the energy supply in the world is still produced using fossil fuels, such as coal, oil and natural gas. The use of these traditional energy sources raises a number of challenges, including price volatility, dependency on import from a limited number of countries as well as environmental concerns. As a result of these and other challengers, governments expand their support of development of alternative energy sources, including solar energy, the fastest growing source of renewable energy.  Many countries, including Spain and Italy, adopted plans that offered significant incentives targeted at reducing the burden of the cost of the photovoltaic systems in order to promote the use of solar energy and reduce the dependency on other forms of energy.  Based on SolarPower Europe, the new EPIA (European Photovoltaic Industry Association), the solar energy market substantially grew during the last decade. In 2015, solar grew by 15% in Europe connecting 8 GW of solar power to the grid. Global grid-connected solar increased by 25% to an estimated 50.1 GW in 2015, from 40.2 GW in 2014.  http://www.solarpowereurope.org/index.php?eID=tx_nawsecuredl&u=0&g=0&t=1478600219&hash=c4fb4fd7f700bc25a00bc536e319b0b9116a2413&file=fileadmin/user_upload/images/Media/030316_A_positive_year_for_solar.pdf)  The PV Market  (Source:

 Dorad Power Plant, Ashkelon, Israel 
 

 The Dorad Power Plant is one of the largest private power plant in Israel, with installed capacity of approximately 850 MW.  The plant is a CCGT bi-fuel plant and powered by natural gas. The Dorad Power Plant is comprised of twelve natural gas turbines, and two steam turbines.  Ellomay indirectly holds approximately 9.4% interest in Dorad.  The cost of the project was approximately US$ 1.2 billion. The project has secured one of the largest project finance facilities in Israel of over US$ 1 billion. The financing facility was led by Israel's largest banks and institutional investors.  Electricity is sold directly to end-users and to the national distribution network at competitive rates. The power plant, which was declared a national infrastructure project by the Israeli Prime Minister, was commercially operated and began producing electricity in full capacity in May 2014.  850  12  1.2B  2014

 Pumped-Storage Development Project Manara Cliff, Israel 
 

 Hydro-electric storage system comprised of two water reservoirs (upper and lower), connected through an underground water pressure pipe. Energy is stored by pumping water from lower to upper reservoir and generated by releasing the water back.  Sustainable technology – working for over 100 years.  This technology is an important tool for managing and controlling the national grid and improving its operations. The plants operate using the available capacity and energy method around the world, allowing quick response time (90 sec) and used by the grid dispatcher for utilizing the operational advantages to balance immediate demand and supply related services.  Pumped storage is the most efficient method (known today) for storing electricity in large capacities.  Pumped-storage project:The solution in a nutshell

The IPUA in its meeting held on July 26, 2016 decided to grant a conditional license to Ellomay Pumped Storage (2014) Ltd. for its 340MW planned Pumped Storage Power Station. The conditional license is effective starting August 28, 2016 following its execution by the Israeli Minister of National Infrastructures, Energy and Water Resources for a period of 72 months. The current regulated quota for Pumped Storage facilities is 800MW, and is in the process of being increased to above 1000MW. 
 

 Expected Projects 
 

 Waste-to-Energy Projects  Biomethane injection  Biogas plant  Electricity  Heat  Biomethane treatment  Organic matter  Fertilizers  Biogas:  the combustible product of the anaerobic digestion of different biomass substrates including manure, agro-residues and organic waste.  Green gas:(bio-methane)  is defined as methane produced from biogas with properties close to natural gas that is injected into the natural gas grid. 
 

 The Potential of the Dutch Biogas Market  The Netherlands produces over 76 million tons of manure per year (source CBS, 2013).Approximately 10% of the market has to be processed due to stringent regulatory requirements (“overmest”). Maximum biogas potential is expected to triple between 2020 to 2030 and market demand for Green Gas Certificates is expected to increase.  The Netherlands is far from reaching the target determined by the European Union of 20% renewable energy out of all energy sources (by the year 2020).  The Potential of theDutch Biogas Market 
 

   Strategic Collaboration with Ludan  Pursuant to the Agreement, subject to the fulfillment of certain conditions (including the financial closing of each project and receipt of a valid Sustainable Energy Production Incentive subsidy from the Dutch authorities and applicable licenses), the Company will acquire at least 51% of each project company and Ludan will own the remaining 49% (each project that meets the conditions is referred to as an "Approved Project"). The expected overall cost of the projects is approximately Euro 200 million (including project financing).Each Approved Project is expected to receive a guaranteed payment (subsidy) from the Dutch authorities for the energy it generates for a period of approximately twelve years.  Renewable energy accounts only for ~5% of NL energy sources 
 

 Projects in the United States  Biogas opportunities RoadmapProgress Report   The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) created the Roadmap as a response to the White House Climate Action Plan’s directive to develop an interagency strategy to reduce methane emissions. Strategically deployed biogas systems offer the nation a cost-effective and profitable solution to reducing emissions, diverting waste streams, and producing renewable energy. The Roadmap identified more than 2,000 sites across the United States that produce biogas, as well as the potential for an additional 11,000 biogas systems. If this full potential is reached, the climate and environmental benefits are expected to be substantial – along with methane emissions being reduced, the amount of renewable energy being generated by these projects will grow. The report indicates that the rate of growth in the sector needs to increase to realize the potential 2030 reductions that were enumerated in the Roadmap.(Source: http://www.rd.usda.gov/files/Biogas-Roadmap-Progress-Report-v12.pdf)The Company is in due diligence process with respect to two projects with aggregate capacity of ~8.4 MW** There is no assurance at this stage that the due diligence process will be completed at all or to the satisfaction of the Company or with respect to the execution of definitive agreements in connection with an investment in these projects.

 EBITDA   EBITDA is a non-IFRS measure and is defined as earnings before financial expenses, net, taxes, depreciation and amortization. The Company presents this measure in order to enhance the understanding of the Company’s and Dorad’s historical financial performance and to enable comparability between periods. While the Company considers EBITDA to be an important measure of comparative operating performance, EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income or other statement of operations or cash flow data prepared in accordance with IFRS as a measure of profitability or liquidity. EBITDA does not take into account the Company’s or Dorad’s commitments, including capital expenditures, and restricted cash, accordingly, is not necessarily indicative of amounts that may be available for discretionary uses. Not all companies calculate EBITDA in the same manner, and the measure as presented may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures presented by other companies. The Company’s and Dorad’s EBITDA may not be indicative of the historic operating results nor is it meant to be predictive of potential future results.   Ellomay Capital - Reconciliation of Net income (loss) to EBITDA (in US Dollar thousands)     For the year ended   For the six months ended   For the six months ended      December 31, 2015  June 30, 2015  June 30, 2016     Unaudited      Net income (loss) for the period  7,298  2,597  )1,671(  Financing expenses (income), net  )592(  )1,327(  2,755  Taxes on income (tax benefit)  )1,933(  598  309  Depreciation  4,912  2,456  2,518   EBITDA  9,685  4,324  3,911   Dorad - Reconciliation of Net income to EBITDA (in NIS millions)     For the year ended   For the six months ended   For the six months ended      December 31, 2015  June 30, 2015  June 30, 2016     Unaudited      Net income for the period  103  13  10  Financing expenses, net  216  107  104  Taxes on income  38  0  4  Depreciation and amortization  210  105  105   EBITDA  567  225  223  Use of NON-IFRS Financial Measures
