2G Energy AG receives major UK order for 5 MW CHP system - Seite 2

hospital that is to take over its primary heating supplies in-house, which
will also result in a significant total energy cost reduction. 2G's CHP
management also delivers clear long-term operating benefits and a sustained
availability boost. Service evaluations can be conducted remotely from the
control station in Heek, with potential operating interruptions being
addressed and planned proactively via the service fleet.

2G's Management Board and the UK regional management team that is heading
up the project are pleased with the high speed at which their cooperation
is being implemented. The technology leadership of 2G and the flexibility
that it offers as a medium-sized company proved decisive to the partner's
decision. The immediate start to this collaboration has highlighted how the
partners wish to make their cooperation venture a mutual success.
Indications already exist of follow-up orders and other enquiries are being
processed.

New French energy policy legislation comes into force - France aims to
increase feed-in payments for biogas systems

France approved new energy policy legislation at the end of July 2015,
thereby also paving the way for strong growth in the biogas sector. A total
of 1,500 new biogas systems are to be constructed by 2020. France currently
operates a total of 274 MW of installed plant output, with average plant
output of 217 kW. With the construction of an additional approximately 325
MW, installed output would consequently more than double by 2020. To this
end, the French Ministry of Ecology, Sustainable Development and Energy has
announced that it will modify feed-in payments for electricity generated
from biogas plants. Both existing and new biogas systems can benefit. The
compensation period will be raised from 15 to 20 years. Existing systems
and plant projects that are about to be constructed and have already
submitted all documents to the French Environment and Energy Management
Agency (ADEME) can benefit from applying for the new feed-in payments from
November 3, 2015. These payments amount to 18 cents/kWh for existing
systems up to 80 kW, and to 16.5 cents/kWh for systems from 300 kWh up. The
draft ministerial decree envisages compensation of 17.5 cents/kWh for new
systems up to 80 kW, and 15.0 cents/kWh for 500 kW plants. Tariffs for
intermediate output levels will be calculated by linear interpolation.
Current compensation for plants with 500 kW capacity stands at 13
cents/kWh, and at 14.2 cents/kWh for systems up to 150 kW. The premium for
utilization of waste from livestock farming is also to be increased from
