MOJAVE SOLAR LLC
This $1,124,110,000 loan award plus $47,658,000 of capitalized interest costs will provide approximately 77% of the construction funding of the Project's eligible costs, of which approximately $831,767,000 will remain in place as long-term funding for Abengoa Solar LLC's (ASL) Mojave Solar Project (MSP). MSP will be one of the world's largest parabolic trough concentrating solar power plants. Located near the city of Hinkley in California's Mojave Desert, the 250-megawatt (MW) project will operate on solar energy only, with no supplemental fossil fuel contribution. The technology is based on the same parabolic trough system that has been proven over a period of nearly 25 years at the Solar Electric Generating Systems (“SEGS”) facilities located nearby at three locations in the Mojave Desert. ASL will further enhance the proven performance of this technology through advancements in plant efficiency factors, O&M practices and the incorporation of new and significantly improved components and design. The Project will be designed to produce clean, solar electricity by means of an integrated process using solar energy to heat a synthetic petroleum-based fluid in a closed-loop system that, in turn, heats water to create steam to drive a conventional steam turbine. MSP is projected to generate more than 617,000 MWh (net) of solar-generated electricity each year, enough to provide for the annual energy needs of more than 88,000 California residential households while avoiding more than 430 kilotons of greenhouse gases that would otherwise contribute to global warming and climate change. The Project will cover a surface area of approximately 1,755 acres on previously disturbed agricutural land and its construction will create thousands of jobs, including approximately 830 construction jobs on average over a 28-month construction period, and 70 full-time jobs once completed. The Full Notice to Proceed was issued effective March 7, 2012, the first day that funding from this award was received.

| Quarterly Activities/Project Description |
The Global Progress of the Mojave Solar Project (MSP) at March 31, 2013, is 59.37%.
MSP began limited construction (clearing, grading, fencing and staging for the solar field foundations) August 29, 2011 and continued with these activities and the installation of solar field foundations and removal of above ground structures through March 7, 2012. Mojave Solar LLC, received its first DOE funding on March 7, 2012, starting the Full Notice to Proceed for construction. Loan advances are being made primarily to provide for the engineering, procurement and construction of MSP.
At the end of the 1st Quarter of 2013, the status of the major EPC activity completion is as follows:
Earthworks, Drainage Work, SF Collector Assembly Building, SF Collector Foundations, HTF Piping Foundations, Cooling Towers: 100.0%; SF Collector Installation: 56.4%; Field Fabricated Tanks: 92.4%; Steam Generator Foundations: 92.8%; Steam Turbine Foundations: 96.8%; Engineering and Design 83.4%; Purchasing 92.7%; Manufacture and Supply 82.4%; Construction 39.3%.
During Q1 2013, the major activities were the continued installation of solar field collectors, pouring of foundations for the turbine generator and steam generators, near completion of field fabricated tanks, completion of the Cooling Towers, delivery of the main genertors, completion a new substation by the interconnecting utility, completion of the HTF header pipe foundations. The expected completion date of the project is mid-2014. All major and long lead equipment and materials (steam generators, transformers, steam turbine generators, absorber tubes, piping, power block equipment, mirror panels, hydraulic drives, HTF pumps, HTF Fluid, etc.) have been ordered and are schedule for delivery to meet MSP’s completion date. |

The direct and indirect jobs created by the project will be located primarily in California and in neighboring states. The construction of this project will also result in the construction of a new substation and a major transmission network upgrade that will eventually become part of the CAISO transmission system and benefit the residents of California and the surrounding states. |
