Introduction on Green/renewable Energy. The urgent need for it.

The challenges that green/renewable energy is facing. Expensive, waiting for the
technological breakthrough.

Hydropower is the most mature, reliable, and cost-effective renewable power

generation technology, where power is derived from the energy of water moving from
a higher level to a lower level. It is a proven and typically price-competitive
technology.
Hydropower has the highest conversion efficiency among all known energy sources
(water-to-wire 90 percent efficiency). Though it requires comparatively high initial
investment, it has a long service life with very low operational and maintenance
costs.
Power is the foundation of modern life

Electric power keeps industrial societies going. It is only when electricity is

continually available in the requisite quantity that goods can be produced and
transported, and basic human needs met.

Renewable energy on the rise

At the start of the 21st Century, the generation of electricity from renewable
sources is on the rise. Hydropower is currently the only renewable energy source
that can deliver power on an industrial scale at competitive prices. About a sixth
of all of the power produced worldwide is generated using hydropower.

Hydro power as the most proven renewable green energy. Technology been done
hundreds of years ago, and most developed countries have maximized their hydro
potential.

The situation in Indonesia.

Electricity crisis
Potential hydro power
35 000 MGW plan
Increased awareness in need for renewable energy (no pollution and cheaper
than oil in remote areas)

Niko energy position:

1. Building (from construction to commissioning)
2. Developing (making the detailed engineering design and progressing with the
permits until PPA)
3. Acquiring (looking for new potential sites)

A partner to industry for generations

Niko Energy provides a full-line service in the field of hydropower. The company has
been building power plants for many generations. Its range includes large
hydropower plants, pumped storage power plants, small hydropower plants,
automation systems and innovative technology for utilizing the energy of the oceans,
the modernization of power plants, as well as full life cycle service.

Voith produces at its own locations in Asia, Europe and North and South America.

At four research and development centers worldwide, company engineers are

working today to create the electricity generation of tomorrow. They can rely on
experience accumulated over decades.

Environmentally-friendly precursor for social development

Small hydropower plants are a precursor for economic growth and social
development. They guarantee a local, stable power supply. Decentralized, small
hydropower plants are often the only way to create environmentally-friendly power
for electric lighting, for preparing and cooling food and for stimulating economic
growth in remote regions.

In developing countries, they are a good substitute for diesel-powered generators.

Even in industrialized nations, small hydropower plants are in demand, as they
provide a useful contribution on the whole and effectively support energy change.

Small hydropower maintains its position as one of the most reliable and cost
efficient renewable energy source.
