Energy Storage is the Glue that Holds the Grid Together
Electric Grid FromThomas Edison to mid-2000s
Power Grid of the Future
• Electricity flows in multipledirections
• Internet enables greater customercontrol over usage (NEST)
• Technology enables electriccompanies to increase efficiencyand keep costs down
• Electricity flows one way
• Little customer control over usage
• Electric companies and regulatorstolerate inefficiency in order tomaintain reliability

Alevo Batteries vs Other BatteriesAlevo Battery Technology provides unique characteristics never before seen in Lithium-Ion batteries
Alevo Battery TechnologyInorganic Lithium-Ion Battery
Other Battery CompetitorsOrganic Lithium-Ion Battery
NON-FLAMMABLEIndependent sources have confirmed thatinorganic electrolyte cannot be ignited. 1
HIGHLY FLAMMABLEOrganic electrolytes are hydrocarbon based
which makes them inherently flammable. Manyfailure modes can lead to ignition.
STABLE, PREDICTABLEInorganic chemistry remains stable over time.
Behavior highly predictable. 2
UNSTABLE, UNPREDICTABLEInherent reactivity of organic materials means that
chemistry changes over time. Unpredictable.
HIGH POWERHigh concentration of lithium-ions. Electrolyte has10X higher conductivity than organic systems. 3
LOW POWEROnly low concentration of lithium ions.
Electrolyte has low conductivity.
STABLE RESISTANCEHigh stability of electrolyte leads to stable resistance
over use and time – cells retain their high powercapability even after 50,000 cycles. 4
INCREASING RESISTANCEDegradation of electrolyte over time leads to
increasing resistance and loss of power capability.

Cell & Module AssemblyII
Sorted and stacked electrodes are brought upstairsto cell and module assembly. This station is madeup of 7 major steps.
IV V VIIII Module Fill Formation & AgingTray Assembly GridBank Assembly
During the fill process, each cellin the module is filled withAlevolyte.
Formation & Aging is a 7 stepprocess that takes 2 weeks tocomplete.
Four modules are secured andwired to tray and prepared forGridBank assembly.
Completed parts are installed into empty GridBanks.
Alevo employs over 200 at its Concord manufacturing plant.Alevo plans to hire 200 more employees and invest $300 million over next five years.

AEP Texas Proposes Energy Storage in Lieu of Distribution Upgrades
11
Woodson Upgrade Paint Rock
Fully maximizing the utility of the batterywould be to consider how energy storage couldrelieve an overloaded substation and provide other benefits when it is not needed.
Proposed installing a 1 MW/ 2 MWHbattery at a cost of $1.6 million
Project would be in lieu of building a newtransmission line and substation or theconstruction of a new distribution linewhich range in cost from $6.0 million to$17.2 million
Proposed a 500 kW / 1,000 kWh battery ata cost of $700,000
The battery enables the company to forgoa $5.3 million substation upgrade for atleast the utility’s 10-year planning horizon

Alevo Service ApplicationsGridBank ESS can fulfill a broad spectrum of service applications for the grid specializing in 2 or more cycles per day
Alevo Power ZoneApplications less than 60minutes. Alevo GridBanks areideal for this “heavy lifting” zone.GridBanks can deliver multiplehigh power cycles, multiple timesa day.
Alevo Energy ZoneApplications up to 2 hours. Whilecapable of longer durations, theGridBank’s value proposition ishighest between 20 millisecondand 2-hour applications.
GridBanks are ideally suited for high power applications, delivering high power within 60-minute intervals multipletimes through the day without overheating or shortening their power output or cycle life.

Alevo to build and operate first energy storage project in Georgetown,Texas.
Georgetown is first to procure 100% of its energy from renewables.
Installation will provide fast response regulation services (FFRS).
Project is an important milestone in evolution of the Texas market.
Alevo will provide ongoing management and Operations andMaintenance services.
Currently Announced GridBank DeploymentsIn 2016, Alevo publicly announced 2 installation projects in Lewes, Delaware and Georgetown, Texas
8 MW / 4 MWhLewes, Delaware, USA
10 MW / 3 MWhRabbit Hill- Georgetown, Texas, USA

Alevo is working closely with the City of Lewes Board of Public Works onrepurposing a retired oil-fired generator building.
Goal is to manage and improve capacity and transmission and to betterintegrate wind and solar.
Marks largest energy storage system in Delaware.
Lewes is ranked 10th in USA for solar penetration.
“The installation of the 8 MW battery will provide a significant tool to manageour capacity charges, our peak demands and transmission charges, and weanticipate it to be a boon for the citizens of Lewes.” -Mayor of Lewes
