Alaska Village Electric Cooperative, Inc. 4831 Eagle Street Anchorage, Alaska 99503-7497 (907) 561-1818 October 8, 1987 Brent Petrie Alaska Power Authority P.0. Box 190869 Anchorage, Alaska 99519-0869 SUBJECT: AVEC Projects for System Efficiency Improvements Dear Brent: According to our recent telephone conversation, attached is a copy of the list recently sent to Senator Hensley on a variety of capital project which would be useful in AVEC villages. Many of these are related to energy effi- ciency improvement and are self-explanatory. As you can see, there are numerous places where we can use money for upgradings. We could compile some statistical information about what these improvements can do since we have similar installa- tions in other villages. If after reviewing this, you wish to have more details on any projects, we would be pleased to work with you in this regard. Best Regards, yd M. Hodson General Manager XC Dear Ssh vite G. dusele Std “ope Jee 4 Vet EFFICIENCY, RELIABILITY, AND SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS TO THE VILLAGE ELECTRICAL POWER SYSTEMS OBJECTIVES: Each AVEC power plant would be equipped with waste heat recovery equipment capable of capturing a portion of the heat rejected to the engine coolant and transferring that heat to an end user such as the school, water plant, or city for use in decreasing oi] requirements for space heating. Each AVEC power plant providing peak loads in excess of 175 KW would be equipped with two all-steel, fireproof, long-life generator modules. Each AVEC power plant would be equipped with two of the latest design diesel electric sets featuring peak fuel efficiency. Each AVEC power plant Providing peak loads up to 175 KW would be equipped with all-steel, fireproof, long-life generator modules. Each AVEC power plant would be equipped with an insulated, all-steel, fireproof, long-life control module for housing the control equipment in a protected weatherproof area. Each AVEC power plant would be equipped with three control panels capable of providing complete control and protection of each diesel engine and generator. Each AVEC power plant would be equipped with a waste oil blender which would filter waste lubricating oil and blend it into the normal engine fuel supply to be burned off by the engine. Each AVEC fuel tank farm would be installed on top of an impermeable barrier which would prevent the escape of any leaked or spilled fuel. Each AVEC power plant would have a chain link fence installed around both the power plant and the fuel tank farm to keep children and unauthorized individuals away. Each AVEC distribution system would be converted to an overhead pole supported system having higher reliability and lower losses.

Beans President Alaska Village Electric Co-operative, Inc., Board of Directors 4831 Eagle Street Anchorage, AK 99503 Dear Mr. Beans: I have received your correspondence of January 31 regarding the capital project request by the Alaska Village Electric ; Co-operative. Thank you for informing me of your organiza- tion's support of the twelve programs to convert village electrical systems to overhead distribution. As you may be aware, I had proposed a Fiscal Year 1986 operating and capital budget for the State of Alaska total- ing $2.97 billion in general funds. With declining oil prices reducing our projected revenue, we will not know with certainty what amount will be available for the capital budget until we receive our March revenue forecast. We do : know, however, that the total capital budget will be far less than it has been in recent years. Funding for the projects requests you have submitted has not been included in the proposed budget. In order for the projects to receive consideration throughout the budget process, it is important that the communities submit them as community priorities. I encourage these communities that rate the system conversion project as a top priority to work 7 closely with their legislative delegation, as well as with the appropriate State agencies. You may be assured that all projects included in the final FY 86 budget presented to me by the Legislature will receive full consideration. I have referred a copy of your letter to the Office of Management and Budget, as well as to the Alaska Power Authority, for their information and review. Xe. Ed Moms Suna Whale Mr. Vincent T.

AVEC provides electric service to a majority of communities in Western Alaska with populations from 125 to 800 citizens. The Cooperative has in the past received the large majority of Cooperative money for construction of generation and distribution facilities from REA in the form of loans. This adds an element of interest cost to our KWH retail rates. In addition, the loan funds must be repaid. Many villages and cities have received numerous grants, sometimes ranging into the millions of dollars, for electrical facilities. AVEC originally constructed distribution systems with underground and later surface utilidor in some areas. While well intentioned at the time with funds available, both types of systems have proven to have reliability or maintainabil- ity limitations in the arctic environment. Damage due to ground cracks and frost heaving action causes safety problems to develop. Accordingly, AVEC has been subject to some criticism from regulatory agencies as a result of practical problems associated with providing service in remote village areas, necessitating accelerated conversion action to reduce future problems. Many consumer service entrances were also found to be substandard by investigators and subjects the village consumers served by regulated utilities to immediate disconnection under a Magali rigid interpretation of statutes/regulations by State agencies in small villages. The Cooperative has started a program to convert to overhead distribution to improve safety and reliability. The cost to complete this is estimated to be some $15,000,000 in current dollars. We therefore request that AVEC receive a grant to the Cooperative in the amount of $3,890,000 in the new state budget as a first installment on this project with similar annual increments each future year until this task is satisfactorily completed. Included in the list of conversion projects scheduled with the first installment are as follows: Mr. Bill Sheffield, Governor January 31, 1985 State of Alaska Page Two of Two Estimated City/Village Cost Shishmaref $454,000 Selawik 630,000 Scammon Bay 258,000 St. Mary's 2nd Phase, St. Mary's Airport Line, 506 ,000 Pitkas Point Intertie, Pitkas Point Stebbins 263,000 Holy Cross 2nd Phase 263,000 Alakanuk 2nd Phase 188 ,000 Marshall 109 ,000 Noatak 300 ,000 Koyuk 245,000 Elim 264 ,000 St. Michael 410,000 Total $3,890,000 This project will provide long range benefits to the village people in many communities with more reliable and longer life electrical facilities. Accordingly, the Board of Directors of Alaska Village Electric Cooperative unanimously forward this request and encourage the strongest support of the Administration and our elected officials to ensure this receives high priority and adequate funding. il OF THE BOARD: YI Vincent T.
