This is a low head plant that will use a falls as a natural water feature". in FY2006 the community used 59,431 gallons of diesel. A new diesel module will use less fuel. However, fuel prices have increased greatly. The diesel plant generated 432,000 kWh of electricity in FY2006. The proposed Irun-of-river hydro plant can produce about 1,000,000 kWh. Energy in excess of utility needs will be used to replace heating oil use in public and private buildings. : Project Cost Estimate & Schedule Duration of Activity Type of Project under Consideration (months) a) Design Costs : 160000 8 Alternative Energy Energy Efficiency b) Land, Right-of-way 410000 6 Feasibility Resource Assessment c) Administration 50000 18 L_] Design Prototype d) Consiruction 670000 6 Construction Operations . .

Indian River has a series of falls that can provide 58 feet of head that can generate 125 to 175 kW as is required for the community. A feasibility study entitled, “Tenakee Springs Hydroelectric” was done by Polarconsult Alaska, Inc. in March 29, 1993. Local conditions have not appreciably changed with the exception that the Forest Service has terminated their attempt to develop a King Salmon run on the river. The Forest Service constructed fish passage over the falls. The penstock for this project can be a flume or pipe with a length of 1,440 feet. The powerhouse can be made of local yellow cedar timber. The turbine would be a crossflow unit because of its ability to be efficient over varying flow conditions, and the turbine has a draft tube that allows it to be set above flood height enabling it to recover head when the operating under normal water flows. The power line distance to town is 3900 feet. The financials for the earlier study showed a 8BC ratio of 1.7:1. Even with the escalation in construction prices, the BC ratio will be even higher because of increased fuel prices. Earlier financials did not take into account the obtainable values using excess electricity for replacing heating oil. Depending on use this excess, this can add an additional third or more savings in fuel cost for.the community. A major reason this plant has not been constructed is although most of the land the project is on belongs to Tenakee, a small acre or so section of the upper falls belongs to the Forest Service. This requires the project obtain a costly, time ‘consuming FERC license. However, the State will be able to license plants < SMW in lieu of FERC and FERC has said with the natural water feature, no weir or dam, and agreement by the agencies, the plant can be permitted within 10 months. There is no reason based on discussions, that the agencies will adversely condition this small project Statement of Interest in Developing an Alaskan /= = ALASKA Alternative-Renewable Energy or Energy Efficiency Project = ENERGY AUTHORITY Project Title: Wind Energy Feasibility Study Organization: Ohogamiut Traditional Council Contact Name: Nick P.

Luther Nagaruk, of the Elim Chamber of Commerce, initially approached Alaska Brands Group (ABG) about working with them on the project. Ideas for adding compiementary projects to improve health and lifestyle of residents are in discussion as well. Production of electricity from existing untapped high temperature geothermal sources, wells and springs > 50C (122F) |. degrees, will have multiple significant benefits to the rural residents of the region. Initial research indicates high opportunities for success of the projects. Construction involved with the project will include: . Drilling geothermal wells Construction of: Geothermal power plant Distribution network Greenhouses to be operated with electricity or directly from geothermal sources ooo * Anticipated outcomes include: . Affordable energy for residents of Elim, Koyuk and White Mountain . Power for a facility to cut white and black marble, and granite, from abundant local sources; development ofa potentially very large, new industry . Electricity to support the expansion of a commercial salmon fishery and processing operation : : Fresh greenhouse vegetables, available year-round, that will add significantly to the nutrition of residents . Need for education and learning new job skills . Significantly increased number of new jobs, income and hope for future . Reduce incidences of drug abuse and suicide . Greater retention of younger residents who currently must leave the villages to find work We believe these projects will serve as an excellent demonstration to other rural villages about the multiple benefits of establishing alternative energies for their villages.

The outline area of our city, which is only one mile | away and within or city limits, has another old generator system to supply power for the small graup of residents and is totally un-efficient for the amaunt of services neaded. At present we have no money for tying in our system together with this small group of residents. Therefore the city power neads and upkeep is costing more than fhe city is generating as revenué. At this time we hardly can keep up with the present needs for power in the community. {t is inevitable that soon we will be a community without power because we can’t afford fuel cost ta meet the needs of the city We do expect growth within our community because of the following projects coming forth: We will need to supply power to vessels in the boat harbor after completion of the boat harbor expacted in 2009. The need fer power to supply airport lighting in the future can be met by this instillation. The need far pawer to the city dock, which we are seeking funding for completion, will be met. ANTHC project for sewer & water restarting 2009. We can run electric cable underground to the outline residents instead of power poles. This would coincide with the ANTHC project for sewer & water to: the autline area and give stability against high wind problems in the area. 5. Supply power needs for the airport road resurfacing project and temporary housing power needs: PON “By renovating and increasing power throughout the complete system ta. a moje efficient system and replacing & extending the (much.needed) new energy system, We would be able to naturalize aur cost and therefore'stabilize our current energy needs. The project for new energy would enhance jab activity of which we have none at this time. Our residents are talking about moving because of lack of work within our community and that means not enough residents to pay fuel cost and keep our school open, come future winters. - ¥f this project is funded by Denali and we can install all upgrades of our energy plan. Chignik will then have a fighting chance to enhance our only source of income, which comes from the fishing industry. Residents will pay less for electricity and the PEC will be less. More summer & winter vessels would use-this infrastructure, once the boat harbor & city dock is complete. A small fish processing plant is waiting to construct a facility after completion of the city dock. We have many other projects on the’ city's wish list that are in need af goad‘efficient energy supply and it is all the more reason why this community needs you assistance. . Without infrastructure upgrade we are sure fo fail in keeping this city alive. Growth can only be achieved by our infrastructure and right naw we have the will but we need your help fo make the way. present system is failing rapidly and our system is very old and worn out.

Problem Synopsis - With fossil fuel costs at an all time high, energy in the Cordova is becoming more and more expensive. | Currently residential electric customers pay an average of $0.2838kWh for less than 300kWh and $0.2213kWh for every kWh over i 300kWh (listed cost). Commercial electric rates are listed at $0.2593kWh up to 300kWh and $0.2218 for every kWh over 300kWh. }|Cordova Electric Company achieves these rates with a $3,000,000.00 (2005) subsidy from the State of Alaska. Cordova’s yearly government subsidy from the state may or may not continue in the future. Current power generation is of fossil fuel oil and hydroelectric production. Actual commercial rates, including all fees, are $0.2651kWh based on a 3-month average. Actual residential rates, on a randomly chosen bill, were $0.3175kWh, however, without the subsidy; the same bill would have been $0.4201kWh. In addition to electrical casts, many tribal members use heating oil to heat their homes and hot water. An average residence consumes 100 - 150 gallons of heating oi! a month during the winter. Current prices for home heating oil are $3.55 a gallon delivered. Some Native families are now forced to choose between food and heating oil. The high cost of energy is especially hard on our elders who still live independently. In learning to Harness, Store and Distribute renewable wind energy NVE will be able to reduce and eventually replace the high costs of fossil fuel oil generated power currently being produced or distributed in the Cordova area. 2. Project Objectives: a. Construct a power generating and storage facility t that uses renewable wind energy. b. Provide power to a limited number of structures beyond the reach of the current rural cooperative established power grid. ic. Reduce overall energy costs to tribal members and tribal facilities. ' d. Manage and distribute power generated from the power storage facility. i e. Complete a long-range study showing the feasibility of multiple Power Generating Facilities in the area uses of current power generated and the possibility of selling excess power to other areas. if. Establish multiple power generating facilities that can supply low cost st power to Native and non- Native power users using renewable wind energy. 3. Impact or project: If successful this project will show that renewable wind energy can be harnessed, managed and distributed in small Alaskan communities, relieving these communities from being reliant on high cost fossil fuels. 4. Proposed Work Plan : a. Establish and monitor a wind anemometer on tribal land. (Established 7/07) : b, Present acquired knowledge to Village Council and community members so that the community will be able to make informed i decisions regarding the Villages goals towards renewable wind energy's potential. / c.

With the use of this facility our community would be able to reuse and recycle wood products making our forest resources more readily available for all members of our i community. The use and reuse of these wood products could enable our community to save money on the rising costs of heating oil and electricity. 1. Current fuel type, gallons/year, cost/year Many residences in Cordova use No. 2 Heating oil to provide their primary source of heat. These price quotes are shown based | for residential use and on the u-haul system of delivery. Estimated annual consumption of No. 2 Heating oil per household would | be 1,000 - 1,100 gallons per year. Costs of No. 2 Heating oil fall into the following range. $3.06 per Gallons 1-99 $2.96 per Gallons 100 - 199 $2.94 per gallons 200 - 399 $2.93 per gallons 400+ / 2. Presence and utilization of high-hazard forest fuels Cordova is located within the Chugach forest. There are vast amounts of untapped forest fuel acreage at our disposal. In addition, Cordova has a great deal of unused wood by- products that, at the current time, are taken to a City owned burn pile for disposal. Unfortunately, this system is a major waste of a valuable reusable resource. Many households with woodstoves are currently utilizing our forest resources and would rely more heavily on these resources if they were more accessible and cost effective to obtain. : 3. Availability of wood processing residues (e.g., sawdust, planer shavings and slabs) As stated above, the City of Cordova currently has a burn pile, located near Shelter Cove, that residents are able to access for disposal of all their non-pressure treated lumber. An estimated 3 - 5 cords of wood are disposed in this manner daily: 4. Project cost versus yearly savings (rough estimate is okay) . | Rough estimates show that Cordova is paying approximately $5,500,000.00 per year on heating oil. This dollar figure could be reduced by introducing wood heat to households that currently rely strictly on oil heat, and by making wood more readily available to households that currently use wood heat. 5. Sustainability of the wood fuel supply Due to our location and use of wood by-products; Cordova’ will have a sustainable supply of wood fuel for many years into the future. : 6, Community support and project ‘advocacy The community already supports the current burn pile system and would willingly support any system that benefits the | community. 7. Ability to implement the project With proper funding this project could be implemented immediately. Cordova has several contractors in town that have the i equipment and knowledge to implement the construction on the purposed project. ‘ ' 8. Ability to operate and maintain the project.

Fairbanks.and Anchorage - ye generate about 400,000 and 110,000 of MSW per year, which is around 70% of the total statewide generation of 750,000 tons. | The remaining 30% is generated in communities such as Juneau, Ketchikan, Mat-Su, Kenai, Seward, Kodiak, and Alaska’s many i rural areas. Currently, most of this solid waste is dumped in landfills. In Alaska’s rural communities, even the raw sewage generated is disposed off in temporarily built lagoons, for lack of sewage treatment plants, which constitutes a significant health hazard. Based on the data published in one of the EPA reports(2], it is estimated that the rate of MSW generation will be around 5 million tons/year. Therefore, the handling and disposal of MSW is a growing concern as the volume of waste generated in the state and the nation continues to increase. These landfills present a significant risk in terms of uncontrolled greenhouse gas (methane) | generation due to the aerobic and anaerobic digestion of the solid waste; moreover, there are limits on the amount of waste that | can be dumped into landfills. Other environmental:implications of landfill disposal include the loss of land area resources and : potential leaching of hazardous materials to ground water. The municipal solid waste represents materials such as yard trimmings, food scarps, wood, rubber, leather, textiles, plastics, metals, glass, and paper etc. Out of the total MSW, organic waste which is biodegradable, is around 75%. This translates to 562,500 tons of biodegradable waste per year in the State of Alaska. This biodegradable waste represents a significant energy potential because it can be used to potentially produce biological methane or ‘biogas’ via anaerobic digestion. Based ona conservative estimate of 5000 scf of biogas per ton of solid organic waste, the amount of waste generated in the State of Alaska theoretically translates to just under 3 billion scf of biogas per year. This is approximately 2 billion scf of pure methane because biogas typically contains 60 - 70% methane and the rest is primarily carbon:dioxide. The recovered carbon dioxide can also be used in some local sales, Based on the average US natural gas consumption per person per year; the produced biogas has the potential to satisfy at least 10% of the natural gas demand in the State of Alaska. Additionally, if sewage treatment plants are integrated in facilities that handle solid organic waste, the generation of biogas can be augmented even further and this will have | significant important contributions especially to Alaska’s rural communities. Therefore, clearly, this provides a unique opportunity and challenge to evaluate the potential benefits from the generated waste. | IMPACT TO THE STATE OF ALASKA: This obviously has significant consequences; reducing the dependence on fossil fuels through ‘waste-to-energy’, environmental conservation, reducing the greenhouse gas emissions, reducing the load on landfills. Specifically: | “Enhancing Alaska's economic growth opportunities, which are vitally important as the State and the nation move to address the critical issues of fossil fuel imports and climate change. ‘ThisProject will be a focal point in Alaska for identifying technology-based solutions to effective solid waste management with a special focus on energy generation. +Mitigating health hazards posed by existing solid waste and sewage management practices in the rural communities of Alaska. ‘Businesses,large and small, as well as Alaska’s natural resource and energy managers will find the project a valuable forum for developing solution strategies to challenges such as waste management, climate change and energy needs. -TheProject will also provide an excellent forum for stakeholders of all types such as boroughs, municipalities, village _||communities etc. to discuss issues and concerns pertaining to waste management and energy. TEST PROGRAMME AND METHODS: All twelve tasks will be carried out through the Petroleum Development Laboratory (PDL) ofthe department of petroleum engineering. in addition to the independent work carried out in PDL, it is expected that the project will also receive valuable practical inputs from the Fairbanks North Star Borough offices, Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation, AIDEA and manufacturers of biogas plants.

A third turbine at Blue Lake offers important benefits: This project would allow.recovery about 6,000 megawatt hours of energy presently lost in dam spill, through improved efficiency-of the new unit and improved operating flexibility in water use between the two existing hydroelectric projects. This new turbine, combined with associated tunnel work, would enhance frequency stability of the system. The extra 6.5 MW capacity would improve system reliability, by covering loss of a major generating units at Green Lake, instead of forcing generation with diesel at a very high cost (12 cents/kWh vs 30 cent/kWh) with associated air quality issues. This project can be constructed at a relatively low cost, utilized almost immediately, licensed and constructed within a five to 7 year time span. New hydro projects under review at Takatz Lake and Lake Diana are very large in both capacity and cost. Development of these projects could double or triple electric rates in the first decades of operation. The third turbine addition is the least risk, lowest cost, and highest benefit project to build at this time. The third turbine plant addition has been examined in some detail and preliminary engineering done. The project will consist of: A 700 ft tunnel from a point about 100 ft. from the existing powerhouse and intercepting the existing power/penstock tunnel above the point at which the power tunnel changes into a smaller lined tunnel. The new tunnel would be about 8 ft. wide and 11 ft. tall with a "horseshoe" configuration. This higher tap point on the existing power tunnel is required to allow more water to flow, allowing more power to be generated. At or near the intersection of the new tunnel and old tunnel, a point about 450 ft. below ground surface and 100 ft. above reservoir elevation, a vertical surge tank will be constructed, approximately thirty feet in diameter and 100 ft. high. The top will be open to atmospheric pressure. This surge tank absorbs "water hammer" surges and, more importantly, can provide additional water quickly to the turbines making them more responsive to shifts in system load. At the base of this tunnel, cut back into the existing hillside will be the new power plant with a single turbine generator. A step up substation will be required for the new generator and a short tie line to the existing Blue Lake Substation. Since the tail race water discharge is only about 100 yards from seawater and there is a barrier falls just above the project, there are virtually no issues with anadromous fish spawning and other environmental issues sometimes related to hydroelectric dams and reservoirs. This project would generate non polluting, highly reliable, renewable energy for about 12 i | Statement of Interest / In Developing an Alaskan Alternative-Renewable Energy or Energy Efficiency Project Project Title: Sitka R & D Geothermal Feasibility Organization: City and Borough of Sitka, Electric Department Contact Name: David A.

The cost of diesel-fired power plants is ‘||becoming impossible to sustain with a limited economic base and escalating fuel prices. Other approaches to generating electricity and heat must be explored, examined, tested and applied if these communities are to survive. Goals/Objectives: CCHRC proposes to provide critical demonstration, testing and evaluation of integrated renewable energy | systems that will help in establishing sustainable communities as well as new local and rural enterprises in the renewable energy | fields. The overall goal of this project is to demonstrate how renewable energy systems can integrate with other energy systems | and how the systems can work together jointly as well as able to be switched based on power supply and demand. Another goal | is to help rural communities make the transition toward the use of energy efficient design and renewable energy systems. Rural / leaders need to "kick the tires" and see the proof that these systems work before making a decision to incorporate them into their | existing community infrastructure. To accomplish this, rural communities need to see and learn from demonstrations of renewable energy systems that are proven to work in the severe climate of the North. The four integrated systems CCHRC plans to demonstrate are: . 1. Biomass Combined Heat & Power (CHP) - CCHRC will demonstrate a CHP unit and integrate the power and heat into their | Research & Testing Facility (RTF). CCHRC will test local biomass resources such as forestry and wood products residue and selected community waste such as paper and/or plastic to displace diesel fuel and to reduce village waste streams. CCHRC will ' demonstrate a method for chipping and storing the wood chips, waste products and pellets to keep them from freezing together | in the winter. Also demonstrated will be a method for drying and feeding the biomass into the unit in keeping with our goal that | the system operates with as few man hours daily as possible and as long a run-time as possible. 2. Solar Thermal - CCHRC will test evacuated-tube and flat plate solar hot water collectors and integrate this system into its i Viesmann boiler hot water system. CCHRC hopes in the future to expand this project to include an innovative system forlong- term buried thermal storage and collaboration on a greenhouse project to utilize the warmth of the soil. 3. Solar Photovoltaic - CCHRC will demonstrate a sustainable solar power system that works in circumpolar regions. The purpos' of this project is to design, install, and operate a micro-hybrid power system consisting of 10kW of PV solar panels, tracking bases, | battery banks, AC and DC coupled inverters with capability to tie into the GVEA grid, and a back-up generator. | 4. Wind - The Wind Energy Project will demonstrate a wind generator model that is expected to work in the slower wind speeds of Interior Alaska on an 85' to 100° tower. Impact: Small-scale, distributed biomass CHP systems that can be located on-site are an innovative alternative to conventional large-scale, centralized district utility projects. CCHRC's work in this area will be important to the introduction of this new : renewable energy technology to rural Alaska.-Photovoltaic, solar thermal and wind generation technology are proven but have | not been demonstrated on a community scale in Alaska, particularly in an integrated system. CCHRC's Research and Testing i Facility's (RTF) accessible location in Interior Alaska and commitment to information transfer and education will insure maximum | project exposure. The key word throughout all four Energy Projects is "systems." With an extreme climate and off-grid challenges, | northern communities should not rely on one energy system or one fuel source. Rather, an integrated system incorporating a : variety of indigenous renewable resources to supplement and replace diesel is the way for the future. The Hybrid Micro Energy Project will provide a significant contribution toward affordable, renewable energy solutions for remote communities in Alaska. Work Statement: The projects equipment will be installed and integrated with the RTF facility. Electricity producers will be connected to the GVEA SNAP program. Each system wil! be equipped with sensors to monitor data and integration controls will be installed. GW Scientific, Siemens and EEInternet will provide online data monitoring and monthly analysis. The biomass project will be tested for emissions. UAF will conduct overall performance and cost data analysis. CCHRC will collaborate with Siemens to include hybrid energy systems in Siemens curriculum development. Project deliverables will be ongoing web-based data links, "snapshot" progress reports, a Final Report, Power Point presentation(s), public presentation(s), workshop(s), meetings "| with rural leaders, utility company administrators, government officials, etc. The Project will be evaluated for applicability to off- grid rural communities. Other: CCHRC has financial and/or matching support from BP, the State of Alaska, the Fairbanks North Star Borough, Siemens, Scientific, Remote Power Inc,, the University of Alaska Fairbanks, EElnternet, the Cooperative Extension Service and Golden Valley | | Electric Association on this two-year demonstration project. CCHRC would also like to test and demonstrate natural gas . residential-scale combined heat & power (CHP) units that are in the new, early commercial: stage on the market. .

Detailed Project Statement The Project is to construct and operate two (2) General Electric (GE) 1.5 MW Wind Turbines on Pillar Mountain. The wind plant would feed into a 69 KV transmission line owned and operated by Kodiak Electric Association, Inc. (KEA). KEA owns and operates an independent grid for the Island of Kodiak. On average, about 85% of KEA’s power is generated bya hydroelectric facility. The remaining power is generated by diesel driven generation. At today’s fuel prices the generation costis | approximately 19 cents per kWh while the estimated price per kWh for wind power is substantially less than the cost of diesel generation, resulting in a major reduction in power costs. The goals of the wind project are to minimize the need for diesel driven generation power, provide for power cost stabilization, and lower the overall emissions of KEA. This would be accomplished by integrating the 3 MW of wind power with the already existing 20 MW Terror Lake Hydroelectric facility. The Pillar Mountain Wind Project will compliment the hydro power allowing both clean renewable energy resources to be maximized and therefore minimize the amount of diesel generated power needed to support the grid. I On February 4, 2007 Electric Power Systems (EPS) completed their “Wind Generation Impact Study ~ Phase 1”. Through their use | of models simulating KEA’s system they were able to determine that an additional 3 MW of wind power was the optimal amount | for KEA to incorporate. EPS noted that KEA’s system may be able to:absorb more wind power, but by adding more wind power | incrementally it gives KEA operations and management personnel the time and ability to better understand how to operate the | integrated system, Once the infrastructure is in place, future installation of additional turbines on this site will be more easily accomplished at a much lower cost. The Pillar Mountain site has been studied over the last year and the wind data compiled and analyzed by V3 Energy LLC classifies the wind at the Pillar Mountain site to be Class 7 - “Superb” with an average wind speed of 7.76 m/s (at 30 meters) indicating an exceptionally strong wind resource at the site. , On May 15, 2007 KEA and General Electric (GE) signed a “Contract for the Sale of Power Generation Equipment and Related Services”. Two 1.5 MW wind turbines will be manufactured and delivered per KEA’s specifications. These specific turbines have the ability to provide more grid stability, an incredibly valuable option to KEA, as noted by EPS’s “Wind Generation Impact Study” with its isolated weak grid. ' KEA next authorized Tetra Tech EC, Inc. to conduct a geotechnical engineering study for the Pillar Mountain Wind Project. The purpose of this investigation is to provide site specific design parameters for the wind turbine foundations, foundations for substation and maintenance building (if applicable); collection system, and road design. The data collected from this report and the data being collected by Geo-Marine Incorporated (GMI) in their “Proposal to Conduct I Avian, Vegetation, Wetland, and Habitat Surveys on Pillar Mountain, Kodiak.Island, Alaska” will clarify the remaining scope of work | and the associated costs. KEA is very sensitive to the potential environmental impacts of this project. As a result of the “Critical Issues Analysis”, GMI is preparing a follow-up study in relation to issues that were identified and study recommendations by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in relation to the proposed wind project. KEA applied for and was awarded a $7 million CREB loan for the Pillar Mountain Wind Project in November 2006. KEA has also been awarded a $1 million grant from the State of Alaska. : Fortunately, ‘the costs ofthe Pillar Mountain Wind Project, although high, greatly outweigh the alternative, operating with diesel driven power.

The Norton Sound Region, especially Unalakieet has an endless year around supply of wind. | would like to examine the usefulness of wind by harnessing it and make possibly make it into a renewable energy program available to regional residents. Technology today has made it possible to interconnect a windmill into the power grid or into a residential meter base. In May 2007, | met with Susitna Energy System to discuss the cost of utilizing alternative energy in the form of residential wind generators as a pilot project Unalakleet. The pilot project would examine the cost effectiveness of using wind energy for residential consumers by providing two wind-generators in each community. The Unalakleet Project will be located on my property approximately 4 miles out of the village of Unalakleet. | have obtained wind | maps from the Alaska Energy Authority and they showed that the location for the wind generator would be ideal for wind generation. Il. SYSTEM SPECIFICATIONS The project willbe using a Skystream 3.7 windmill. The Skystream is a 1.8 KW Residential windmill. It weighs 154 Ibs, has arotor diameter of 12 feet. The Skystream can produce electricity at 10 mph and reaches optimum electricity production at 20 mph. Itis | rated to 65mph and would stop producing energy at 66 mph. It can withstand wind speeds of up to 140 mph. The unit installs directly into the utility box and meter with a double throw switch. The towers for Skystream can be installed at the heights of 30’, 40’, or 70’. i lil. Estimated Installed Cost The estimated cost of one system with out the pad would be $10,500. The estimated cost of the cement pad is $3000.00 per pad. ' The airfare and per diem for two technicians for two days would cost an estimated $2000. Broken down the cost looks like this: 2 Skystream and Tower Kits $10,500 2 Concrete pads for tower kits $3,000 Airfare Anc - Unk - Anc $1000 Meals and Hotel - Unkx2days $1000 Total $15,500 IV. Estimated Saving . For a typical'home in California, where the cost of energy is $0.14/kWh, the Skystream would produce 400 kWh per month with a ' 12 mph average wind. This would save a household $672 per year | The cost of the Skystream would be approximately $15,500 installed in Unalakleet. A quote provided by the Unalakleet Valley / Electric Cooperative stated the cost of electricity is approximately $0.38/kWh. At this rate, the Skystream would save a household | over twice that amount or over to $1,824 dollars per year. It would take approximately 8 years to pay off the wind generator. i Statement of Interest In Developing an Alaskan Alternative-Renewable Energy or Energy Efficiency Project Fes ALASKA M3 @SS05 ENERGY AUTHORITY Project Title: JAtka Hydro C C oe Organization: Alaska Energy Authority Contac Name: lennytands [Phone Number Address: [803 W.

Funding from the State of Alaska, Federal RUS, the local APICDA CDQ, and the Denali Commission allowed construction to begin in 2004. Rising materials, construction, and : transportation costs created a shortfall i in funds to complete the project. The City is currently seeking funds from several sources to complete this project. To complete, the diversion dam, penstock, tie-line to the community and the controls for the turbine need to be installed. Completion of this project will reduce the high cost of.electricity both to the residents of Atka and to the local fish processing electricity will be reduced from over $0:50/kWh to $0.20/kWh and reduce this remote community’ s vulnerability to rising energy costs. : This project will be the only small utility grade hydro build in rural Alaska in a number of years and the lessons learned can be used for other alternative energy projects in small off-thé-grid villages.

Program Objectives: * Potentially replace all petroleum fuels currently imported to all three communities. At least reduce consumption by as much as 34% on a community-wide basis and by as much as 48% for individual homeowners; * Reduction of emissions particular to petroleum-based fuels. However, there may be a slight increase in particulate airborne matter from wood combustion, depending-on emission controls put in place; | * Energy independence from outside sources and reduced energy costs. community-wide and individually; - * Decreased risk of system failure as existing systems would be placed into “back-up” status; * Econamic development via local employment; marketing of the process and potential sales of biomass fuels 3. Impact to Alaska: | *This study and project can be used to model similar projects around the state, depending on the local availability of . materials. The potential benefits of this project are far reaching in the ability to provide energy production alternatives to | communities throughout this state that are experiencing rising energy costs. 4, Work Plan * Biomass resource analysis of availability, suitability, sustainability and marketability of biomass resources - collection and compilation of forest and fishery resource data; : * Evaluation of community energy infrastructure - inventory and needs assessment of existing-and proposed roads to harvest forest biomass resource and investigate the feasibility of converting the existing cannery to fish waste byproduct energy production; * Landowner Survey to determine local landowner (Native Allotment holders and Native Village corporation landowners) interest in the biomass program; * Regional Energy Load Evaluation - resources and energy loads will be evaluated fo provide options for the best economic fit for this region; * Biomass technology and market evaluation - explore available technologies matching these with the resources that best fit this area; * Engineering economic analysis’ ~ ~ Analyze the energy economics of proposed fuel production, energy technologies and exportation to outside markets; * Management plan development - this management plan will serve as a guide for implementation of a biomass procurement, energy and marketing infrastructure. 5. Other pertinent information : * A feasibility study has already been conducted for Port Graham regarding this subject. Much of the data from that initial ; teport can and will be used and extrapolated over the entire project area proposed by this report. It is estimated that over 400,000 gallons of diesel fuel will cease to be consumed by these three communities once a biomass project has been { developed and implemented. | * Diesel fuel costs at the time of the Port Graham feasibility study (2006) were listed at $3.00 per gallon.

Reduce electrical generation maintenance and replacement costs 2. Reduce consumption of fossil fuel 3. Reduce health hazards from pollution 4. Improve system safety features 5. Lower energy costs will support economic development Our recently created Vision Statement forsees Elfin Cove to be a model rtiral Alaskan community for renewable energy. Given Elfin Cove's electric usage through the seasons, we will be able to meet our energy needs solely with hydropower from this project for 9 months of the year. The remaining 3 months of high usage will require supplemental diesel- generation. Reduced diesel fuel cost and consumption will result in a more reliable energy source; renewable, clean hydro means greatly reduced pollutants including carbon emissions. The estimated fuel off-set would be 25,600 gallons of diesel fuel per year. Using current fuel pricing of $3.65/gallon, this equates to an annual savings of $93,400 in fuel alone. Maintenance and replacement costs will also be substantially reduced. We are currently developing alternatives for excess energy generation which include a district heating plan and industrial applications such as making ice for the fishing fleet. Reduced loads on the newly renovated power plant will greatly extend the life of those diesel generators thereby reducing replacement casts. DCCED Commissioner Emil Notti said "Rural Alaska is where the true magic and wealth of Alaska is." If this project i: constructed it can pave the way for other similar hydroelectric projects in Alaska. Affordable renewable energy is key it making it possible for rural residents to continue living in frontier Alaska. The proposed hydroelectric generation facility would be located approximately 1.25 miles southeast of Elfin Cove. The hydroelectric facility would include: a diversion structure on Crooked Creek; an approximately 1000-foot long diversion conduit from Crooked Creek to Jim's. Lake; an approximately 1300-foot long penstock from Jim's Lake to tidewater; a hydro power house with turgo type turbine and programmable automatic parallelling switchgear at tidewater; an on-ground transmission line to the newly renovated diesel power plant; fiber optic communication cable between the hydroelectric powerhouse and the townsite diese! power plant; and access trails to the power house and diversion structure. The Elfin Cove Hydroelectric Project has been envisioned for over twenty years. A pre-feasibility study exists as well as stream gauging data from 1984-85. Alaska Energy and Engineering had HDR Alaska, Inc. review the existing hydroelectric study information, assess construction scenarios and review cost estimates. Their analysis indicated this is a viable project with direct and indirect economic benefit. The Concept Design Report produced by Alaska Energy Authority in February of 2006 was viable with 1985 oil pricing. The Elfin Cove powerhouse and distribution system upgrade project.is expected to be completed by late fall 2007. Elfin Cove has dedicated over 60% of its Municipal Energy Assistance Project monies to this hydro project.

Tanana's involvement will help establish the feasibility using propane as a viable energy source for villages along the Yukon and Kuskokwim Rivers. The project will establish the basis from which other villages can utilize Alaska natural gas that is processed and delivered within the state. The logistical, testing, implementation and cost analysis of using propane will help to gauge potential cost savings of extracting propane from North Slope natural gas at a future take-off point located at the Yukon River bridge. Ultimately, using Alaska natural gas processed and delivered within the state will help provide relief from the expense of barging and storing fuel oil, diesel and gasoline in expensive to build and maintain tank farms. The City looks forward to participating in this vital project and believes Tanana's involvement will begin a new era for providing cost effective and reliable energy to most rural Alaska communities.

The logistics of the project will include trucking, barging, storage, distribution and testing of various uses of propane within villages such as providing hot water, electricity and heat. Program Objectives: The YKPDP will help determine the feasibility of: * using propane-powered generators for public facilities | ° retrofitting/converting existing appliances for propane use * installing new appliances such as on-demand water heaters ' * testing small co-generation systems for public building * establishing a storage area for distribution of propane to a grid system ° converting equipment & vehicles to propane . * developing underground conduit lines for delivery of propane ° assisting other villages to convert to propane Impact of Project: Tanana's participation will allow the community to deal with both the negative & positive influences of converting a village to use a river based propane distribution system. Tanana's experience will allow other villages to build future propane systems based on a model already in existence. There will be no "drop a new technology on a village" scenario because the sustainability of using propane will have been tested. Tanana's use of propane technology will be a big step toward ensuring that villages have access to and are prepared to use North Slope gas. Work Plan: Tanana is working with the Alaska Natural Gas Development Authority (ANGDA), which has received $5,000,000 from the state. The appropriation includes up to $100,000 for the YKPDP, which will study the feasibility of: * support for allowing the price of propane to reflect the cost that will be instituted when a future gas pipeline feeds a small gas plant located at the Yukon River; * loans/grants fo participating villages for new propane transportation, distribution and storage facllities: * joans/grants to consumers for home piping, appliance conversion, purchase and installation of new appliances; * loans/grants or guarantees to participating propane distribution businesses, both existing and newly formed * Support and Additional Funding: The ANGDA and City are’ working with the state and federal agencies to secur support, loans, grants and financing for the YKPDP. The City has contacted Doyon, Limited, Tanana Chiefs Conferenct village corporations and tribal governments to secure support and involvement in the YKPDP. A letter of agreement outlining project responsibilities for the City and ANGDA was signed on __ August, 2007. The ANGDA will request proposals for professional assistance in implementing the YKPDP. The City will administrate the contract from Tanana for the ANGDA. Overseeing the YKPDP will allow the City to promote the project and secure additional funding to refine and expahd the community's participation in the project. Tanana is working with the Office of Indian Energy and Economic Development and USDA Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Program to secure grants to: 1. hire an employee to supervise logistics, convert buildings to propane and install propane based electrical generators; 2. fund feasibility and engineering studies; 3. finance energy efficiency improvements to public and residential structures. The YKPDP provides the perfect incentive to energy audit public and residential structurés and make energy efficiency improvements to building. Energy Costs and Village Economies: The City, Tozitna, Limited (village corporation) and Tanana Tribal Council (TTC) realize that the high cost of fue! has a negative affect on the local economy. Electricity costs $0.79 per kilowatt in Tanana and gas costs on the average of $4.86 per gallon. The community sees reduced energy costs through the use of propane as a major step toward. boosting Tanana's economy. For example, a fish processing plant had to close in Tanana because it cost too much to freeze salmon. It ended up being cheaper for fish buyers to purchase salmon in Tanana and fly the fish to Fairbanks for processing and retail. Local commercial fishermen sold their fish.for $20, which the fish buyers resold for $60 to $100 in Fairbanks. All the profit went to Fairbanks companies and not to local fishermen. Propane generated electricity may be cost-effectively enough to reinstate fish processing in Tanana, which would put a lot of people to work. Strategic Plan Compliance. The YKPDP complies with the draft June 2007 Tanana Community Strategic Plan goals of: +.) cutting the cost of energy and 2.) creating jobs and other economic development opportunities: Both goals go hand-in- hand because it is hard to promote economic development if energy costs remain high. The community not only understands the advantages of converting to propane, but sees possible business opportunities in logistics, transportatia distribution, propane sales and providing advanced technologies to villages. Community Support: The City, Tozitna and TTC will be working together to support the project. Tanana is 130 miles down river from the Yukon Bridge and is the perfect village to participate in the YKPDP. Propane can be shipped to Tanana by large barge in one day through good navigable waters. Tanana is a remote village, but has many modern aspects that make it a good demonstration village. The community is excited about participating in the project that will establish the basis from which other villages can utilize Alaska natural gas.

They plan to do special processing in their town to provide jobs and to increase the price of their fish by producing a value added labeled product. The product and their fish must be stored in large freezers until sufficient quantities are available to economically ship. The cost of fuel is high because of transportation costs, the small amounts purchased and the cost of fuel itself. The _praduction cost of electricity for Chignik Lagoon is very high as a result of these fuel costs and the small size causing low efficiency of the plant. Thair diasal generators are wearing out. They can not afford to run a large freezer with current electricity casts. Thay have a good hydro site on Packers Creek, which runs thraugh town, that can provide for most of their needs. The plant itself will be a small run-of-stream installation with a diversion weir, 4,500 feet of 14 and 16 inch plastic pipe and a 200 kW turbine-generator. The generation plant is almost in town. The plant will produce about 1,170,000 kWh per year. While the community generated about 537,302 kWh as stated in the FY 2006 Power Cost Equalization Report. Fuel costs were $136,943 for 46,888 gallons in that report. They are much higher now. The excess plant slactrical anergy can be utilized in heating the school, store and other local structures. The addition of large freezers will considerably increase the usage of power, and result in a significant increase in the hydro plant value to the community. | The estimated cost of the plant was $572,000 in 1995 based on a feasibility repart by Polarconsult Alaska, Inc, It is estimated that the current cost will be about $930,000. The permitting of the plant will ba simple as the land is locally owned, and there are no unusual terrain or other factors that will make construction difficult. There is equipment in the community to construct the plant. All of the local people and the school and store strongly support this project.

Problem being addressed: Electrical power is readily available in very large systems (grid connected electrical power, capable of delivering hundreds of megawatts) or in very small systems (battery driven devices, capable of delivering at most a few watts), but between these two ends, electrical power is much more problematic. Diesel engines are quite efficient-(although not inexpensive) at 100 kW to 2.5 megawatts, but are much less efficient below 100 kW. Solar cells charging batteries work well for systems, but only when the sun shines. In the very cold and dark Alaskan winter, providing small amounts of power is very problematic. Some people have proposed operating small internal combustion engines to charge batteries, but there are a number of issues to be addressed—fuel vaporization, drifting snow, starting cold soaked engines, protecting batteries from freezing; managing battery voltage, and providing adequate control over the various parts of the system. 2. Program objectives: Develop a prototype of a small scale hybrid power system intended to provide power between 200 watts and 1500 watts on a continuous basis through an Alaskan winter. This system will be comprised of a propane generator and batteries, supplemented by small scale wind power and solar cells, and will use a computer based control system to asses power needs and how best to meet them. 3. Development of a robust small scale power system could have a dramatic effect on. the cost of remote operations for communications, automated equipment, and for isolated residences. Applications world wide include many remote places, given that more than half the world’s population lives disconnected from the electrical grid. 4, Work Plan: Purchase components, design enclosures for thermal and air flow management (including the issue of drifting intakes), create control system strategy, assemble, and test. ‘5.

As the cost of diesel fuel rises, the economics of diesel power generation change, allowing higher capital costs for improved efficiency, heat recovery. Changes in fuels and emissions equipment will occur. Other ideas will be proposed that add cost to the engines with no meaningful benefit (except to those selling the idea.) A university diesel test bed will allow an independent assessment of the effects of any of these changes on the operation of rural villages. 2. Program objectives: Create a diesel engine test bed facility at UAF intended to ‘evaluate changes in diesel engine technology, including new fuels, fuel additives, heat recovery systems, emissions control systems, and other diesel engine technologies. 3. This project will allow safe, impartial testing ‘of proposed improvements to diesel engines and fuel systems. Since |- there are many other communities around the world that depend on power generated from diesel engines, there will be a much broader user base. 4. Funds would be used to continue operation of the existing diesel engine. Current unfunded ‘tests include the evaluation of hydrogen electrolyzers (claimed to improve-fuel economy and engine performance, though no evidence can -| be found in the data collected so far), fuel additives, new fuels, and emissions control strategies. Other ideas would be tested as proposed by the rural utility industry. Results will be presented as conference presentations and posted on web sites. 5. The existing diesel engine test bed was funded through a project intended to evaluate the suitability of synthetic diesel fuel made from natural gas. This project is complete, but has allowed UAF to build capability, both in the form of a test engine and data collection systems, as well as a skill base in collecting this kind of kaa However, funding must be found if this capability is to continue. “ALAS Statement of Interest In Developing an Alaskan . ; f= ALASKA Alternative-Renewable Energy or Energy Efficiency Project @&=> ENERGY AUTHORITY Project Title: Fish Oil biodiesel Organization: University of Alaska Fairbanks Contact Name: /Dennis Wtimer Phone Number: 907-474-7082 Address: |University of Alaska Fairbanks Fax: 907-474-6144 City: Fairbanks State: AK | Zip Code: 99775 Email: fidew@uaf.ecu Instructions: Complete the information requested on this page.

If successful, up to 30,000,000 gallons of fish oil biodiesel could be produced per year, reducing diesel consumption by an equal amount. The industry would create local jobs in villages, and keep cash local rather than flowing outside. It would also reduce greenhouse gas emissions. 4, Work Plan: continue existing AEA/EPA funded project, but towards goal of developing specific fuel processing specifications to minimize potential damage from oxidation. 5. Work to date has been funded through EPA competitive research grant. _ Statement of interest In Developing an Alaskan / ; f= ALASKA Alternative-Renewable Energy or Energy Efficiency Project ==> ENERGY AUTHORITY Project Title: VRB Flow Battery Laboratory Demonstration Organization: University of Alaska Fairbanks Contact Name: Dennis Wtimer Phone Number: 907-474-7082 Address: |University of Alaska Fairbanks : Fax: 907-474-6141 City: Fairbanks State: AK Zip Code: 99775 Email: ffdew@uaf.ecu Instructions: Complete the information requested on this page.

The program objectives are to conduct laboratory tests of the VRB Battery to assess the electrochemical efficiency, the long-term reliability, and the potential cost effectiveness of this technolagy. 3. If this battery proves successful, it will immediately result in reduced diesel cost in rural villages in Alaska by allowing much higher wind penetration in villages where there is a wind resource. The battery will also have many other markets including: remote power for communications, emergency backup power systems, and renewable power systems. Precise markets will depend on the ultimate economics of the system. 4, Work plan. This proposal is to continue to laboratory testing program already under way, but currently unfunded. To ‘date, a small 5 kW battery has been cycled for approximately 3000 hours. Electrochemical efficiency numbers from the supplier have been verified. Several failures have also occurred, as expected in this stage of technology development. Support from the supplier has been excellent. Continued laboratory testing is essential before field deployment. | 5.

It is anticipated that the replacement of the engine block heater with the TMS will save ~$9,173 - $22,920 per cold day (airbanks along) in addition to savings in fuel.usage, the capital cost-in constructing the eleciricity outlet TSMC TTS, and their maintenance expense, : Project Cost Estimate & Schedule Duration of Activity Type of Project under Consideration (months) a) Design Costs 11 | $102,000 Alternative Energy | KX] Energy Efficiency b) Land, Right-of-way Feasibility Resource Assessment c)__Administration 1 $22,200 Design XX].

Emission studies have shown that during cold start, particulate matter (PM) of gasoline engine increases more than 2 times as temperature decreases from 20 degrees (F) to -20 degrees (F), HC increases ~2 times as temperature decreases from 20(F) to 0(F), and CO increases more than 3 times as temperature drops from 75(F) to 20(F). Tests conducted in Fairbanks and Anchorage during 1998 to 2001 winters indicates ~45% of the total CO emission from vehicle is due to cold start idle. The tests also indicate that engine block heater has played a crucial role in reducing CO emissions during cold start and warm-up in cold temperature in Alaska, which leads to ~70% reduction in CO emission during cold start. Based on Alaska Department of Environment Conservation (ADEC) conducted survey, there are totally 10,590 electricity outlets and related infrastructures have been constructed in Fairbanks for engine block preheating. This number does not include those in outside residential parking areas. The engine block heater used on vehicles usually has output power between 0.8kW-2.0kW, which is equivalent to ~67.8MWh - 169.4MWh electricity energy that could be consumed in a cold day if the facilities operate 8 hours per day. This number could be much higher if those at outside residential parking lots are accounted. Reducing the engine exhaust emissions in Alaska is costly. The high cost of using engine block preheating to reduce CO emission and to guarantee the start of engine in very cold days could be eliminated by utilizing engine waste heat. Current internal combustion engine uses only 1/3 of the energy available from the burned fuel to propel a vehicle while 2/3 of the energy is rejected into the atmosphere and wasted through engine exhaust and cooling system. Accordingly, a routine workday travel that comprises two round trips and four cold starts could consume more than a gallon fuel (based on a DOE fuel consumption model) or more than 23.5kWh heat generated by the fuel will be wasted. This wasted heat could be recovered, stored, and utilized to preheat engine and catalytic converter and hence to improve fuel and the converter efficiency through a thermal management system (TMS). | This LOI is intended to develop a prototype TMS that consists of a heat storage system with a control unit. The engine waste heat will be stored in the heat storage system through sensible heat and latent heat of the heat storage materiale The temperature of the heat storage materials will be maintained while engine is shut off. The stored heat will be release: to preheat the engine block and other components right before the engine is started. The control unit will manage the hea. flow between the engine and the heat storage system. A preliminary study of an automobile thermal energy storage unit found in literature showed 1.5 times increase in power density and 3 times increase in energy release density when compared with commercially available heat battery. For Fairbanks alone, the estimated saving of electricity expense by replacing the electric engine block heater with the TMS could be $9,173 to $22,920 per cold day in addition to the possible other savings, such as savings in fuel usage, capital cost in constructing the electricity outlet infrastructures, and their corresponding maintenance expense. Still, a side effect is that the TMS. could also maintain the engine at a steady operating temperature by absorbing heat from high temperature fluid and release heat to the fluid as its temperature drops, which a radiator is incapable of. The proposed project is divided into five tasks: the thermofluid system modeling, the TMS design, the TMS fabrication and laboratory testing, the TMS on vehicle testing, and final report.

Currently they optain power from the line between MEA and GVEA. To accomplish this they propose to builtd a hydroelectric project on Jack River a short distance from Cantwell. The installed capacity of this plant will be in exccess of 1 MW. It will be comprised of a dam and a short tunnel. A feasibility design and scopling are required to provide the parameters of the project.

This plant will serve the Native Village of Cantwell. The Jack River runs within one mile of the village. The village needs the power for standby as they are served off of the MEA-GVEA intertie anly. Damage to the line from ari avalanche caused a two day outage in the dead of the winter, temperatures without wind chill can be ~50°F in this area. High winds are constant in the Cantwell area so the wind chill is even colder. Such a transmission failure can be much longer and poses a grave hazard to the local people. This year Cantwell had a two hour outage from a lightening strike. If it had damaged an insulator it could have lasted for a day or more. Cantwell also wants to use this renewable local resource to reduce their power costs and provide income to the |° community. Toward this end any surplus power will be sold to GVEA. The hydro plant will be located where the river passes through a very narrow deep canyon. A dam will be constructed across this 50 foot wide canyon whose sides are almost vertical. The dam will store water that will be diverted through a 1500 foot or so tunnel and will be returned to the river after passing through a Francis turbine(s). The capacity will vary depending on the economical height of the dam and the water flows that can be obtained and utilized. The power will be transmitted to the community grid. Surpluses in excess of the communities needs will be provided to GVEA. GVEA has a demand for renewable energy. : A preliminary design and scoping study will be required. As part of this endeavor, measurements will be made of stream flows. These will be correlated with flows from nearby streams. With this data and accurate surveys and geological.work, a dam type and height will be selected. The water passage selection may be a small tunnel or micro tunnel excavated with a boring machine. The estimated tunnel length is within the capacity of such a machine. Part of the conveyance may be in a pipeline fastened to cliffs. It will be insulated from the extreme cold temperatures.

Power cost is at $0.41.Kw and provided by AVEC using diesel generation. The hydroelectric project in Old Harbor has already been ‘studied and has a FERC license (outdated and needs renewing), as well as, architectural designs and renderings. Old Harbor is growing in the tourism and fisheries industries. There are now two sport fishing and hunting lodges that operate for several months during the year, a fish processing and smoking plant that is operating year round, two stores that operate year round, and a sustained population. (Excerpts from original FERC license filing) On May 14, 1999, Alaska Village Electric Cooperative, Inc. (AVEC) filed with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) an application for a license to construct, operate, and maintain the 500-kilowatt (kW) Old Harbor Hydroelectric Project (Old Harbor Project or project). AVEC also filed with their application an applicant-prepared environmental assessment for’ ithe proposed project. The project would be located on Mountain Creek and Lagoon Creek watersheds on the southeastern coast | lof Kodiak Island, near Old Harbor, Alaska. The project would be located predominantly on lands within the Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge (refuge), including lands recently sold by the Old Harbor Native Corporation (OHNC) for inclusion in the refuge, now owned by the United States in fee, and subject to development restrictions, including hydropower. The project would also occupy lands owned by the OHNC and Old Harbor. The project would generate up to 3.427 megawatthours (MWh) of electrical energy per year at full capacity. | i |{Old Harbor, like most rural Alaskan communities, is isolated from major power producing centers and thus relies ona small set of | diesel generators and barged-in diesel fuel to supply its power needs. Currently, fuel must be barged in 2-3 times per year during | i periods of extremely high tides. Due to these constraints, the amount of fuel delivered is limited by the time of tide and the smal pipe size. Larger barges would not be any more effective in fuel delivery. This causes higher fuel costs because of the additional handling, time constraints, planning, and preparation required. When a shipment is missed, usually because of weather or suppliers not being available at high tide, any remaining supply is restricted to generators and public buildings, and residents must bring in fuel in 55 gallon drums on their fishing boats from the city of Kodiak to heat their homes (This still happens on occasion even with the bulk fuel projects more with gas than diesel), This added fuel handling can increase the amount spilled. 1. Project Facilities AVEC proposes to construct the following project structures (figure 2): (a) an 86-foot-long by 7-foot-high uncontrolled diversion structure, constructed with galvanized steel frames with Ekki wood stop | logs, at elevation of 840 feet above mean sea level (fmsl); (b) an intake structure with a trash rack; (c) a 30-foot-long by 8-foot-wide by 6-foot-high steel, wood and concrete de-sander box, with screens to catch suspended debris . 4 and a bypass gate for flushing the screens and accumulations of sand and gravel; (d) a 9,800-foot-long penstock made up of 3,200 feet of 20- to 18-inch-diameter high density polyethylene pipe and 6,600 feet of 16-inch-diameter steel pipe; (e) a bypass system, joining the penstock just upstream of the turbine, with a separate tailrace, parallel to the turbine tailrace, to direct water in the penstock, not needed for. power generation, to a submerged container to dissipate dissolved gases and moderate daily flow fluctuations (figure 3); (f) a 625-square-foot metal powerhouse on concrete footing and slab, with one 500-kW impulse turbine; (g) a deflector plate system for flow continuation during rapid shutdowns; . / | (h) a5,500-foot-long buried transmission line; Statement of Interest In Developing an Alaskan Alternative-Renewable Energy or Energy Efficiency Project f= ALAS KA @@ ENERGY AUTHORITY Project Title: Nelson Lagoon Tidal and Wave power generation assessment Organization: Nelson Lagoon Tribal Association Contact Name: Justine Gundersen Phone Number }+1 (907) 989-2205 Address: |P.O.

To date, no comprehensive study has been conducted on tidal or wave power generation in Nelson Lagoon. Such a study would | determine the potential for utilizing natural tidal and wave actions for power generation. Nelson Lagoon as with many rural Alaskan communities, are faced with increasing energy costs; primarily the increases in cost for diesel fuels. Nelson Lagoon must entertain alternative energy opportunities such as tidal and wave in order to displace the use of diesel fuel and ultimately save money on energy consumption. . The impact that the success of this project could have on Alaska is significant. The successful application of tidal or wave power generation could allow for the displacement of diesel fuel and ultimately result in cost savings that are a critical component to the sustainability of rural Alaskan communities and their residents. This study would be the proving grounds for other like locations in Alaska, Any community residing on the Alaskan coast or river system could potentially benefit from the capabilities that tidal or wave power generation could provide.

Like the | wind-diesel plant on St. Paul, excess electricity will be used to heat water and that water will be piped around selected community buildings to offset the diesel they would normally need for heat. (The hybrid plant in St.Paul displaces over 50% of the diesel that would normally be used to heat and electrify the industrial complex that it powers.) The community of St. George would like a new diesel technology powerhouse for the purpose of improving the community's electric supply reliability and operating efficiency. The load following powerhouse will need to comfortably meet the average | annual community electric load of approximately 150 Kilowatts, accommodate off peak demand of approximately 70 i Kilowatts and peak demand of approximately 180 Kilowatts through load sensing and automatic switchgear. Coincidental to the planning process for the new St. George diesel generating facility, the Aleutian Pribilof Island Association has evaluated the cost and operating economics of integrating a wind energy generation component into the diesel.power plant. APIA is aware that this type of wind-diesel hybrid integration now has considerable case history experience in Alaska and throughout the world. Properly located and designed, hybrid technology has successfully demonstrated the ability to significantly reduce fuel use and powerhouse maintenance through reduced engine run time. APIA commissioned TDX Power te provide a detailed analysis of the expense and effect of adding wind-generation to the planned St. George generating facility. Following is a summary of modeling results for total integrated hybrid system operations: - Diesel only operations will consume 88,266 gallons of fuel oil annually, with total diesel plant production of 1,370 megawatt hours. : - Fully integrated with the Vestas V27 wind generator, the diesel operations consumption will be reduced to 54, 459 gallons annually and total diesel plant production will be reduced to 838.8 megawatt hours. - The hybrid integration reduces powerhouse fuel use by 40%, . , | The impact that the success of this project will have on Alaska is significant. The proven application of wind-diesel hybrid power generation will allow for the displacement of diesel fuel and ultimately result in cost savings that are a critical component to the sustainability of rural Alaskan communities and their residents. This project can be extended to many other rural coastal and other urban centers as long as the wind resource is adequate to meet the wind power generation requirements. Moreover, the City of St. George has a signed contract with Kelly-Ryan for the contractor to dredge the St. George Harbor entrance channel next spring (2008). The project duration is expected to last 2 months at the longest. The contractor will mobilize to St. George, Alaska in April of 2008 and would have a large crane available to erect the tower and turbine. The City of St. George has taken all the necessary steps required to get this project to where it is today. St.George now seeks assistance in taking this project to the construction and implementation stage. Numbers reflect today's costs and subject to change once studies have been concluded.

SHANNON & WILSON 04:20:49 p.m. 08-29-2007 3/3 = Project Title: ‘Biodiesel fromm Alaskan Microalgae Organization: [Shannon & Wilson, Inc. Detalled Project Statement Growing concerns about greerihouse-gas-induced climate change and the high cost of fuel in Alaskan villages may be addressed by Alaska pursuing an aggressive program to develop a biodlesel program suited to our unique set of circumstances. This project seeks to provide a foundation to initiate a resource-assessment and research program for Alaskan biodiesel fuel production from the triacylglycerols (TAGs) contained in microalgal biomass. Microalgae are microscopic. photosynthetic organisms that obtain energy from the sun to produce biomass fram carbon dioxide and water. There are many types of these organisms, but they are similar in that all grow in aqueous suspension and therefore have efficient access to water, carbon dioxide and nutrients. ‘According to research conducted under the U.S, Department of Energy (DOE)'s Aquatic Species Program (ASP), “microalgae are capable of producing 30 times the amount of oil per unit area of land, compared to terrestrial oil crops.” From 1978 to 1996, the DOE conducted research into producing alternative fuels such as ethanol and methanol resulting from fermentation; methane derived from plant materials; and biodiesel derived from plant oils. The ASP was part of this research effort, and focused on using aquatic plants as energy sources. Various aspects of this research included evaluating which species lof algae produced the highest yield of lipids for diesel production; assessing optimal designs for algae-production ponds and “farms;” and ascertaining whether there are significant land, water, or carbon dioxide availability issues that would impose limitations on this technalogy, The results of these and other aspects of the DOE research program indicated that creating blodiesel from algae is a viable technology meriting additional research, The ASP close-out report (A Look Back at the U.S. Department of Energy's Aquatic Species Program: Biodiesel from Algae, July 1998, NREL/TP-580-24190) noted "we project costs for biodiesel which are two times higher than current diesel fuel casts.” The average retail price of diesel fuel in the U.S. in January 1998 was $1.12, and the 1995 projected biodiesel cost estimates ranged from $1.40 to $4.40 per gallon based on then-current and long-term projections for the performance of the technology. There is currently no research infrastructure in place in Alaska to pursue algal biodiesel production, The purpose of this Statement lof Interest is to put this concept in the view of the Alaska Energy Authority (AEA), so that such a research program can be developed. There are several key elements that would be required for an Alaskan biodiesel program: }+ Select and characterize indigenous Afaskan algal species for TAG content, growth rate, nutritional and light requirements, and temperature tolerance. Use of algal species selected from the locations where they will be cultivated should improve the stability of the growth culture due to their inherent competitive advantage, + Prepare pilot-scale, algal-cultivation ponds to assess optimal algae-production parameters. Locating algae-production sites at existing fossil-fuel power plants would offer the benefit of a free source of carbon dioxide and heat for algae growth, and would provide a means of sequestering a greenhouse gas while producing a carbon-neutral fuel source, _||+ Determine the optimal lipid-extraction method for remote Alaskan sites. The location of algae- and biodiesel-production facilities: in Alaskan villages will provide a local fuel source, but TAG-extraction methods shauld avoid the use of organic solvents in remote locations, Freezing the blomass to separate the lipid from the aqueous phase has shown promise, and this approach could take advantage of Alaska's cold climate. + Conduct research to assess the potential for using Alaskan village wastewater lagoons to augment the nutrient amendments ¢ needed for algae production.

Over the past several months, _ 8Q Energy has conducted a desktop feasibility study of the potential for wind development In the area near Kenal, Analysis of the wind conditions and power prices make the Cook Inlet an area with much potential. BQ Energy seeks to develop a project similar in nature to its recently completed Steel Winds praject In Lackawanna, NY. That project exemplifies BQ Energy's development strategy of using existing Industrial lands to generate clean, renewable wind energy. The benefits of this project to the Kenal Peninsula reglan are large. The area, like much of Alaska and the United States; is supplied * by aging electric transmission infrastructure. With Increases in industrial, commercial, and residential electrielty demand, the : power grid is increasingly stressed when requlred to transmit over long distances. A wind energy facility located near Kenal will — | help offset some of the stress on the transmission Infrastructure, This facility adds generation close to load cantars, thereby i making the entire grid more efficient. It will also displace generation fram more conventional sources. In contrast, wind energy is - also derived from a lacal source and creates no pollution.

The Gulkana Village Council owns/operates/administers 10 community facilities in Gulkana, AK. These facilities include the administrative offices (1 old, 1 new), teen center, community hall, health clinic, shop/garage, and 4 new residential duplexes. Total annual fuel oil consumption amounts to about 13,100 gallons per year. Although this amount of fuel consumption could be considered “moderate”, the installation of a cordwood boiler will require a fair amount of engineering due to the relative locations of the buildings to one another and to the proposed site for the boiler (see map in Appendix A). This element of this project proposes to hire professional éngineering sérvices to “spec” the boiler, and develop a detailed construction/installation plan and cost estimate. Total budget: $20,000. 1. State the problem being addressed by this project. The rising cost of fuel oil is making it difficult for Gulkana Village to provide safe adequate heat. 2.

This has prompted local community leaders to search for alternate energy sources for a local generation system that could also supply the Railbelt system when not needed as a primary provider to the community. Program Objectives: . Identify and evaluate long-term energy sources : . Develop competitively priced, secure, and reliably available electricity . © . Develop additional electrical infrastructure for Southcentral Alaska , Promote research, development and demonstration of clean and renewable energy technologies, conservation and energy efficiency ; : . improve the quality of life for Whittier residents and all Alaskans . Provide energy infrastructure for economic development . Replace/augment aging generation. in the Railbelt The proposed project is whally consistent with and supports integrated resource planning as‘ defined by the National Energy Policy Act (NEPA - 1992), which directed states fo use that process as the starting point. “The term ‘integrated resource planning’ means a planning process for new energy resources that evaluates the full range of alternatives, including new generating capacity, power purchases, energy conservation’ and efficiency, cogeneration and district heating and cooling applications, and renewable energy resources, in order to provide adequate and reliable service to electric customers at the lowest system cost." [Emphasis added. Source: Report on the RAILBELT 12/2003 Findings an Recommendations of the Alaska Energy Policy Task Force.] , ’ Project Impact: Alaska needs reliable, economic, sustainable and secure power supplies to meet the state’s economic, environmental, and educational development goals. Electric power generation needs of the Alaska are expected to increase dramatically over the next twenty years and beyond. The state must continue to be active in its pursuit of developing new generation technologies to improve the efficiencies of present and future energy generation facilities and must-be self-sufficient. This project would assess the potential for the development of the Community of Whittier into a sustainable energy community that utilizes renewable energy systems for residences and commercial enterprises. Although connected’ to the Railbelt Intertie, Whittier has no community-wide local power generation system and is subject to major power outages; the knowledge gained through this effort could be transferred to other similarly situated communities throughout Alaska. Work Plan: This preliminary investigation for the suitability of a hydroelectric generation project would be performed on several creeks in the immediate area surrounding Whittier, most notably Shakespeare Creek and ‘two branches of Whittier Creek. This project would include a site visit by engineers to examine possible intake locations, drainage basin size, existing information, and develop potential power generation quantities, as well as identify any potential fatal flaws of future hydroelectric generation. The results of this preliminary investigation will be presented in a report format that would also recommend further analysis of the technical and financial feasibility for the sites that show promise. The community of Whittier is also interested in assessing wind resources available from the off shore and onshore winds - originating from. Portage glacier.valley and.from Passage.Canal. The City proposes. pursuing. a-wind. data.callection study |.- and the installation of wind .tower to collect actual wind data for the coming year. The City believes there is a high probability that steady power can be produced from the winds at the head of Passage Canal.

While acheivements do exist (e.g. college graduates), high rates of suicide, domestic violence; substance dependence and child physical/sexual abuse continue to be a challenge. To address these issues in a community-based, culturally-appropriate way, Maniilaq started Mavsigvig in 2002. For the past five years, Maniilaq has kept it in aperation independent of any state funding. MAVSIGVIQ OVERVIEW ~ Mavsigvig's purpose is to promote and foster individual, family and community wellness in the areas physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health. Most peaple going to Mavsigvia, a camp that operates year-round, have a substance dependency problem and are experiencing significant -trauma in their lives. Guided by traditional |- Inupiag values, it is a place where camp participants focus their attention on practicing weliness in a holistic, traditional and subsistence program. Maniilaq staff,residents of the region and participants, both past and present, recognize the value of Mavsigvig. However, basic utility and energy costs are high and continue to increase, placing the future of the camp's existence in question. PROJECT GOALS - Through potential support mechanisms such as the Denali Commission, Mavsigvig has two primary goals: 1) to develop a system for utilizing solar and wind energy, a potential power source that's currently untapped and 2) fo reduce reliance on non-Maniilaq sources of power, thereby reducing operational costs and increasing self-sufficiency. PROBLEMI/NEED - At the present time, Mavsigvig ("camp") is electrically powered by a 20kW diesel generator set. Except during oil changes that occur every 100 hours, the generator operates 24/7 because it's the camp's only power source. The camp electrical demand is approximately. 3-10kW per day, which equals about 9,000 gallons annually.. In 2006, approximately $45,000 ($4.46/gallon x 9,000) was spent on diesel and the closest establishment for purchasing this nonrenewable resource was located 15 miles away in Selawik. Representatives from both Maniilaq and Kotzebue Electric Association, Inc., including a Professional Engineer, visited | camp in February 2007 to conduct a feasability study regarding renewable energy and energy efficiency options. This report is available upon request. As best described in the report, "The addition of wind and photovoltaic power sources, combined with electrical conservation measures and the conversion of some electrical loads to propane. and heating oil, can substantially decrease the use of diesel fuel for power generation." Mavsigvig plans to explore: a) solar photo-voltaic (PV) panels to charge and maintain the system battery bank; b) solar thermal energy (solar collector) to make hot water from the sun for the main cabin (www.aetsolar.com); and c) ‘wind energy (www.bergey.com) for battery bank charging. By incorporating these kinds of measures, Maniilag can reduce its diesel usage by about 2/3 (6,000 gallons less). In economic terms, this translates to a savings of about $30,000 in diesel per year. WORK PLAN - Based on the proposed activities, Maniilaq has determined that it can successfully complete the two project objectives within 16-18 months (ex. October 07-March 09). From time.of funding notification, at least 10% of one staff person can be dedicated to project’ administration. Additionally, technical support from Maniilag’s, Planning and Development is available throughout as an in-kind contribution (pre/post-award). ‘| It is anticipated that both design planning and equipment purchase can be achieved during months 2 thru 7 (November- April). Construction is best completed fram months 8-14, or May-October. This is an optimal time of year for construction activities because of Mavsigvig's arctic location. Temperatures are warmer, easing labor conditions and ensuring that materials can be on-site on time. By month 16, Maniilaq can provide the Denali Commission a summary of key findings and lessons learned for the benefit of others to review. ANTICIPATED OUTCOMES - Once operational, Mavsigvig's project can be replicated throughout Alaska. Examples } include: the Northwest Arctic Native Association's (NAINA) Camp Sivu; other rural recovery programs; and village clinics that operate on diesel-generated power. ‘Moreover, the project will reduce operational costs, lower emissions/hazme liability and foster self-sufficiency for Mavsigviq. muy vw vi Goran, ee Oa 7 ko tute fiom youu! vurmuLe—eres Statement of Interest In Developing an Alaskan 62 Submit by Email — Alternative-Renewable Energy or Energy Efficiency Project f= ALAS KA QE" ENERGY AUTHORITY Project Title: Copper River Schoo!

District Detailed Praject Statement The Capper River School District operates 6 separate school campuses. The Copper Center Schoo! used 8,000 gallons of number 1 & 2 fuel ofl in 2005 at a cost of $15,100 while Kenny Lake School - elementary and high school buildings - used 21,600 gallons ata cost of $40,000, The FY06 low-bid per gallon came in at 39% higher than FYO5. Fuel prices have continued to increase and so these casts are anly increasing. The need for alternative heating and or electric production is a high need for this comrnunity. The project aims to replace 8,000 gallons of number 1 and 2 fuel ail at Copper Center School and 21,600 gallons of number 1 and 2 fuel oi) at Kenny Lake Schoo! with wood-fired boilers. It will also utilize the hundreds of acres of spruce bark beetle killed spruce on state, federal and private land. This wood has been under utilized without a local market. Concern of a large wildfire inthe Copper River also exists that could'be addressed with this project. Hazardous fuel reduction projects could develop jab apportunities and use the wood that would otherwise be burned in large contralled brush piles, \With the develapment of these two schoo! waod-fired boilers other rural communities could see haw coordination can save school districts money. It would be an Alaskan demonstration af the "Fuels to Schools" madel of the lower forty-eight utilizing local forest resources. If both schools were determined feasible it would demonstrate how different sized schools can utilize local forest resources. In March, 2006 the Glennallen Forestry Cooperative Extension Service Agent helped the Capper River School District submit a request for financial assistance from the Alaska Wood Energy Develapment Task Group. On May 10, 2006 the district was informed they had been selected for financial assistance. In August, 2006 Dan Parrent of the Juneau Economic Development Council and Jahn Steigers of AK Industrial Development and Expart Authority came to the Copper Center and Kenny Lake Schools. They looked at the current heating systems, potential bailer locations, campus buildings and campus layout, They spoke with Regal Enterprises, the local sawmill, and received enthused response to participate. A feasibility study was stated to.be * performed, Unfortunately the engineers that had been hired quite and the process as of today is stil! on hold. Wood-fired boiler. manufacturers have been consulted and plans for hazard fuel reductions are in the minds of DNR, 8LM and the local CES agent. If | these projects are determined feasible management plans, hazard reductian projects would be developed to supply these schaals boiters. The Copper River Valley has a local Department of Natural Resources office nerfo tming fire fighting and forest management, Bureau of Land Management office and Ahtna,Inc,, a local native corporation with hundreds of acres in forest management. There is a sawmill operation in Kenny Lake which utilizes sawdust and woodchips to fire a boiler heating the communities commercial greenhouse, schoot building and laundry hot water.

Last fiscal year, those two schools, which use number one heating oil during cold months and number two heating oil during warm ones, consumed, respectively, 9,458.3 gallons of heating oil (at an annual cost of $19,784.79) and 25,205.5 gallons of heating oil {at an annual cost of $53,629.99}. Additionally, for this fiscal year, the district’s low-bid price per gallon for fuel oil increased 30% over last year’s price for Copper Center School and 34% for Kenny Lake School. - In March of 2006, the Glennallen Forestry Cooperative Extension Service Agent, assisted the school district in submitting a request for financial assistance from the Alaska Wood Energy Development Task Force. On May 10, 2006, the Copper River School District was informed it had been selected for financial assistance for a feasibility study for the abovenamed schools. Subsequently, Dan Parrent, Juneau Economic Development Council, and John Steigers, Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority, visited Copper Center and Kenny Lake Schools in Angust of 2006. Mr. Parrent and Mr. Steigers looked at both schools’ current heating systems and scouted potential locations of wood- fired boilers at the schools. Additionally, the two men spoke with Regal Enterprises, a : local sawmill about the prospect of it supplying wood for Copper Center and Kenny Lake Schools. To date, however, the planned feasibility studies for retrofitting the two schools with wood-fired boilers have not been completed. © ; The Copper River Valley has a local Alaska Department of Natural Resources office performing fire-fighting and forest management in the region. Likewise, the local: U.S. Bureau of Land Management office and Abtna, Inc. both are managing hundreds of acres of forest in the valley. Furthermore, there is a sawmill operation in Kenny Lake that utilizes sawdust and woodchips to fire a boiler that supplies heat for a commercial greenhouse, private school, and hot water laundry on its land. Consequently, this entity has the equipment, ability, and interest, as well, in providing wood for both Copper Center and Kenny Lake Schools. Therefore, for the aforestated reasons, the Copper River School District is interested in the alternative use of wood-fired boilers as a means of increasing the economic efficiency of heating systems utilized in the two aforementioned schools. With an abundant wood supply in the Copper River Basin and the increasingly high-cost of heating oil, the Board of Education is interested in exploring the economic viability of using wood-fired boilers, rather than oil-fired ones. . : Yours truly, ' James W.

Whenever KPU's energy demand exceeds the capability of the combined hydropower resources, diesel units must be operated to meet the difference. The system load for KPU is projected to grow from 159,543,140 kWh in 2006 to 181,141,042 kWh in 2011, an average annual growth of about 2.6 percent. Power from the proposed Granite Basin Power Plant (Plant) will be used to meet a portion of Ketchikan's immediate and projected power needs. | 2. The Plant will displace diesel-fueled electric power generation, thereby conserving nonrenewable fossil fuels and reducing the emission of noxious byproducts caused by the combustion of fossil fuels. 3. The Plant will provide the residents of the Ketchikan Gateway Borough with a clean and renewable source of power. KPU's ability to supply adequate, reliable power is vital to sustaining and -attracting business and industry to the community. 4. The Plant will increase the capacity of KPU's existing 4,200 kW Ketchikan Lakes Hydroelectric Project. The Ketchikan Lakes project includes a concrete diversion dam on Granite Basin Creek that discharges to a forebay (Fawn Lake) via a 1,170-foot tunnel and natural channel. An estimated additional 750 kW output could be developed by placing a turbine- generator on the tunnel near its discharge into Fawn Lake. The annual production from a new power plant at Fawn Lake would provide an additional 2.8 GWh of annual production. Development of the new generation would include construction of a new 72 cfs, 115 feet net head, 750 kW single Francis unit power plant at Fawn Lake utilizing water from Granite Basin. Items included in the construction are: * New connection of pipe to the Granite Basin Diversion Structure * Excavation within the existing tunnel to develop required intake submergance * Aproximately 1200 feet HDPE pipe liner within the existing tunnel * Approximately 250:feet of 41-inch steel penstock * New powerhouse with a single 750 kW generating unit * Approximately 3,800 feet of new transmission line between the Fawn Lake and the Ketchikan Power Plant 5.

(RurAL CAP) Detailed Project Statement: 4, STATEMENT OF NEED The high cost of energy in rural Alaska is a tremendous economic strain on rural communities and residents. Most rural communities do not have a strategic energy plan which assesses the energy burden, identifies alternative energy and other energy saving options, and develops partnerships and resources needed to address this issue. In addition, information on energy efficiency is unavailable or.not easily accessible for rural residents. Outside of major weatherization programs, very little support exists for rural residents in adopting energy efficiency measures. 2. PROJECT OBJECTIVES a. Train a locally recruited VISTA member and a community leader from 10 rural communities on creating a strategic energy plan and conducting residential energy audits. b. Build the capacity of rural communities to develop and implement energy plans and conduct residential energy audits by supporting the VISTA and.community through training, site visits, technical assistance and resources. c. Provide basic energy efficient products to homes as a ‘starter kit' through the work of the VISTA members and community leaders. (Approximately $200/home of compact florescent lights, power strips, and power meters). d. Build partnerships and collaboration with VISTA members, tribal/city councils, regional corporations, energy efficiency and building organizations, technical consultants and others to develop and implement a community energy plan and provide energy efficiency education and resources. . 3, PROJECT IMPACT/REPLICATION This project will help rural Alaskans develop and implement strategic energy plans, explore alternative energy resources, conserve energy, and reduce energy bills. Approximately 250 homes will receive audits and supplies. This project will be easily replicable in other villages throughout the state. 4. WORKPLAN MARCH: RurAL CAP will recruit VISTA members from rural Alaskan villages. VISTAs will apply in conjunction with, a loci. sponsor (usually the tribal or city council) and a local site supervisor. APRIL: VISTAs and a selected community leader will receive Orientation Energy Training in Anchorage sponsored by RurAL CAP and the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS). This Orientation will focus on establishing VISTA service work plans, assessing community needs, and developing community energy plans. MAY: VISTAs will assess community energy needs (including identifying local residents with the greatest need and interest in energy efficiency) and work with community leaders to begin developing community energy plans. JUNE - AUGUST: With assistance from Anchorage based project staff, local site supervisors, other non-profit organizations and agencies, VISTAs will work in their comimiunities to continue energy: planning, identify resources and partnerships, and provide energy efficiency education. SEPTEMBER: VISTAs will attend an In-Service Training on energy basics and conducting home energy audits. They will practice audits and receive their auditing tool kits: SEPTEMBER - MARCH: a. VISTAs will conduct home energy audits. On average, 10 VISTAs will conduct 25 audits in each of 10 communities.

Coastal communitites and rural communities throughout Alaska are burdened by high costs. of electric power generation due to the rising costs of fossil fuels ($0.41 per kW-hr from diesel oi! - 2007) and related product transportation costs. Recent technical breaktrhoughs in the field of tidal electric turbine technologies can provide electric power to coastal communities at significantly reduced prices ($0.175 per kW-hr). Development of this new technology presents significant opportunities for job growth and regional economic stimulus for renewable energy systems that don't rquire fuel and produce no pollution. With sufficient grid connections, tidal power may enable coastal communities to be net positive producers of electricity, thus improving their economic status and overall community development. 2. The objectives of the project include: - Develop a universal protocol for tidal power site evaluation and system deployment for Alaska Identify and evaluate three (3) coastal communities in the Alaska Panhandle for system deployment install 120 kW of connected electric load to service power needs of these selected communities Evaluate system. technical performance Evaluate system environmental impacts Set up innovative communitiy development models for tidal power coopetatives that foster growth Write a report describing the process and achievements of the project 1 1 -3. The impact of the project for Alaska is significant due to the immenient approach of Peak Oil and the need to generate cost effective alternatives for low cost, non-polluting and effective sources of power generation from indigenous resources that provide no negative environmental impacts. Coastal communities and also river-based communities can all benefit from both the’technical success of the project as well as the innovative’ community structures that will enable effective distribution of wealth to marginal communities. There will be an overall- positive impact from regional rural development stategies based on cost-effective and income producing energy generation: resulting from the support of renewable energy. | 4, The work plan will include the following: 1. Design of formats for tidal power site evaluations. - 2. The completion of field site assessments based on the model of 1. 3.

Detailed Project Statement: Nushagak Electric & Telephone Cooperative, Inc. (NETC) in Dillingham, Alaska distributes diesel generated electricity 1 their membership in Bristol Bay in the communities of Dillingham and Aleknagik. NETC would like to minimize the Cooperative's reliance on increasingly expensive diesel fuel (both purchasing and operational costs) for local power generation. Two small hydro power sources (Lake Elva and Grant Lake) have been identified as the best alternative power source for this “off the grid" location. This project is designed to address the high cost of diesel fuel powered electric generation in the "off the grid" power generation service area of NETC in Dillingham, Alaska. The use of renewable hydro power in this area will relegate the existing diesel generation plant to back-up and peak. demand status. The impact of Phase |, Lake Elva ta Dillingham will serve several objectives. First’ This smaller of the two phases will "prove" the overall feasibility of renewable hydro using impounded water under severe northem conditions, . ‘ Second: This phase of the project includes a substation which will become the new origination point for the single phase tie line to Aleknagik thus considerably reducing the line loss associated with serving that village. Third: The new construction involved with this project will deliver electric service to a currently un-served area making rural electrification there more cost effective. Fourth: The three phase substatioin to substation tie line to Snake Lake Road will place three phase power almost half -* , the way to Manokotak making the previously abandoned Dillingham to Manokoiak tie line more attractive.

(NETC) in Dillingham, Alaska distributes diesel generated electricity to their membership in Bristol Bay in the communities of Dillingham and Aleknagik. NETC would like to minimze the Cooperative's reliance on increasingly expensive diesel fuel (both purchasing and operational costs) for local power generation. Two small hydro power sources (Lake Elva and Grant Lake) have been identified as the best alternative power source for this “off the grid" location. : This project is designed to address the high cost of diesal fuel powered electric generation in the “off the grid" power generation service area of NETC in Dillingham, Alaska. The use of renewable hydro power in this area will relegate the existing diesel generation plant to back-up and peak demand status. The impact of Phase Two, Grant Lake to Lake Elva to Dillingham, will serve to maximize the local hydro potential for NETC. Being slightly larger and scheduled for the later part of the overall construction schedule it is expected that this portion of the project will incur relatively larger costs. Another consideration. regarding phase two of this project is its’ less detailed analysis at this juncture, This part of the total project will require additional study and design previously accomplished for phase one, Preliminary calculations for this 2,100kW facility project a usable 11,700,000kWh per year. At a diesel replacement cost of $0.20/kW this dam has the potential power value of $2.340M/year (@930,000 gallons). Neither location would providé adequate power by itself but the two sources connected together would allow NETC relegate its’ diesel units to peak seasonal usage and occasional backup status (short water months).

Meteorolagical testing has identified Kokhanok as an exceptionally promising location for wind energy. The Kokhanok Village Council, as owners and operators of the Kokhanok electric utility, are requesting $1.3 million to construct a 100 to 130 KW wind system. The wind energy would be integrated into the electric diesel power grid to displace 30,000 gallons of diesel fuel at a current cost of $3.64 per gallon. Excess wind energy would be used to displace heating fuel first in public facilities and as battery technology to displace fuel used for local transportation. This project would have a fife time of over 15 years and result in annual community savings of over $100,000.

Datailed Project Statement; Detailed Project Description: This project would entail the installation of two remanufactured Vestas V15 turbines on fit-up lattice towers or a- single Northwind 100 wind turbine on a poured concrete foundation. A three-phase underground powerline of approximately 1200 feet, with step up transformers to tie to existing three-phase power supply at the village Water Plant. Power system stability and efficiency would be maintained at high wind penetration levels through the power plant control and communications upgrades and the installation of fast acting thermal loads linked to the pawer house and community school. Any excess wind energy over the electrical demand would be diverted to displace heating fuel, and the control systems would optimize diesel fuel usage. t Kokhanok Wind Resource One year of site specific meteorological data was collected at the site from August 2004 to August 2005. The project site is wind power class 6 (outstanding) with an annual average wind speed of 7.71 m/s with a wind shear roughness class of 0 and a mean jurbulence intensity of less than 1. The measured wind shear at this site is very low because the east-southeast fetch is a very long stretch of Lake Illiamna. Wind Turbine and Associated Equipment The wind turbines for this project is a either two: remanufactured Vestas V-15 wind turbine, or a single Northwind 100. Both turbines are available with warranties and service agreements, as well as extensive operator training programs. Primary maintenance will be by trained local personnel, with online support. The remanufactured turbines are favored as they are exceptionally well made, simple in design, and offer high reliability and long lifetimes. The power plant consists of four John Deere diesels power generators of 45 kW, 115 kW, and two at 160 kw, The wind turbiné(s) will be controlied through setpoint limitation ‘established by the load requirements and the capacity of the on line generator set. Excess wind energy will be directed to community facility heating |. system(s) in the schaol or the powerhouse. In the proposed configuration a diesel generator is always operating, even at a very low level, to provide voltage and frequency stability. Compared to many or most potential wind power site locations, the Kokhanak wind site does not present the usual construction difficulties of tundra and/or permafrast, and challenging logistics. The wind site is mostly gravel overlain by a thin organic. layer, The community is located on the shores of Lake Illiamna and can be accessed by barge fram Homer, 15 miles of road from Williamsport and lake barge. Estimated Fuel Savings ~ Gross annual power generated by an E15 wind turbine is estimated to be 210,500 kW-hr/year with a 37.0 percent capacity factor, Ata presumed power plant efficiency of 12.5 kW-hr/galion, and 90% wind turbine availability the resulting annual diesel fuel savings for a single turbine would be 15000 gallons. At a diesel fuel cost of $3.64 per gallon (autumn 2006 fuel delivery price), the resulting annual savings for two turbines would approach $110,000, From: 907 2633044 Page’ 1/4 Date: 8/90/2007 3:23:32 PM AUBOUs C2UUL g-uorm AIUCH/ ACA : WU 1d00 red Statement of Interest In Developing an Alaskan Alternative-Renewable Energy or Energy Efficiency Project /= ALASKA EE) ENERGY AUTHORITY Projectile: fvanofBayWind Project Organization: fivanot Bay Village Council pe Contact Narne: [Edgar Shangin De : Phone Number 522- 2-2263 3 ‘adress 2518 E.

Area Health Corporation Detailed Project Statement Kanakanak Hosptial Boiler Plant Project Contact: Doug Holt, BBAHC Hospital Services Director 1. Problem being addressed by the project: Kanakanak Hospital is the only critical access hospital in the 46,714 square mile Bristol Bay region of southwestern Alaska. Bristol | Bay is only accessible by air or barge, and the physical barriers dictate that hospital services are available 24 hours / 7 days.a week. | Over time, additional heating loads have been added to the existing boiler system. The present heating load is over the required _ size restrictions for 100% standby capacity for any boiler (as dictated by the AIA Haspital & Health Care Facilities Guidelines). This | requirement is to allow any boiler to be down for maintenance or repair and still have the heating capacity available for the entire | facility. The original boiler installation met these guidelines, but the addition of space, snowmelt and steam systems has used the | excess capacity of this heating system. The boilers and burners selected for the proposed remote boiler plant will accommodate | both summer and winter heating loads, being fully modulating with the ability for turndown to at least 20% of full load conditions’ to accommodate the lighter summer time loads. These newer models can achieve 82% to 86% plus efficiency. In this adversely | rising fuel economy, it is very important to mitigate energy consumption as much as possible. The estimated savings at the current load is from $24,000 to $31,000 peryear, depending on actual efficiencies achieved by the existing versus new boilers and | on fuel cost (which is uncertain and likely to rise further). This means that the projected fuel savings alone could pay for the new boilers over their life span. 12. List the program objectives: i Objective One - Construct a 4,742 square foot stand-alone remote boiler plant with 3 new boilers to support existing hospital heat, and humidification requirements arid anticipated hospital facility expansion; Objective Two - Achieve between 82% to 86% plus efficiency at an estimated savings at the current heating load from $24,000 to $31,000 per year in this adversely rising fuel economy in rural, remote Alaska. 3. What will be the impact to Alaska if this project is successful? This project will serve as a model of energy efficiency for other critical access hospitals in rural Alaska by consolidating boiler capacity as opposed to adding on smaller boilers with each addition of hospital space. In addition, the project will serve as a model for sustainability since the projected fuel savings will pay for the new boilers over their life span. ~ 4. Give a brief-statement of your work plan. The construction timeline will span 2007-2009. Site preparation and construction is being bid in two separate parts, The site is first being cleared, excavated and pre-charged with classified material up to 8 feet, and then the site will need to sit for6 months | over the winter. This is taking place during the Summer/Fall Construction season of 2007. The construction section of the project will be bid out in Winter 2007 contingent upon finalization of the Indian Health Service Project Justification Document approval. | This will enable the construction contractor to procure supplies and equipment for the project to be shipped on the first barge to | Dillingham, approximately May 2008. Construction of the Kanakanak Hospital Boiler Plant will commence May 2008. It is : anticipated that the interior work and equipment installation will continue over Winter 2008 to Spring 2009. By November 2009, the Kanakanak Hospital should be fully switched over to the new Kanakanak Hospital Boiler Plant at its remote location near the southwest side of the hospital. 5, Any other pertinent information: The 100% Design and Cost Estimates were reviewed and approved by Indian Health Service: The BBAHC Board approved funds for the site clearing, excavation, and preparation to ensure that the site is pre-charged for6 months over the winter.

Compared with the current standard TBC, Partially Yttria Stabilized Zirconia (PYSZ), pyrochlore oxides A;°*B,“*O, (e.g, La2Zr207, NdoZr207, Sm zZr207, Gd2Zr207) have demonstrated lower thermal conductivity and better thermal stability, which are crucial to the high temperature applications such as hydrogen-based gas turbines. The TBCs will be fabricated by using High Velocity Oxy-Fuel (HVOF) thermal spray and Air Plasma Spraying (APS) techniques to produce multilayer functionally gradient coatings. In this program, we propose to develop fundamental knowledge to support the needs of applications of TBCs in hydrogen-based gas turbines. We propose to move forward in three major thrust areas: 1) coating design and fabrications, 2) coating evaluation and characterizations, and 3) modeling of properties of coatings. These thrust areas are-critical to the extension of current TBCs to a broader range of materials and applications.

A TBC is a thin (100-500 um), thermally insulating ceramic coating that is applied over the conventional oxidation-resistant diffusion costing on the superalloy. Partially Yttria Stabilized, Zirconia (PYSZ) is the standard material for current TBC applications, providing a low thermal conductivity (2 Wm" K"), a relatively high coefficient of thermal expansion (41x10° K*) and chemical inertness in combustion atmospheres. The thermal stability of PYSZ-based TBCs, however, is seriously affected at demanding service temperatures by aging mechanisms and by considerable phase transformation ‘and sintering-induced volume changes. One of common performance constraints for TBCs is to withstand the thermal expansion stresses associated with heating and cooling, either as a result of normal operation or as a consequence of high temperature oxidations. The best approach to address this thermal expansion requirement is through the formation of layered composites. Therefore, the novelty of the proposed approach is that the laminates under development are determined: by the level of residual compressive stresses, and significant improvement.in the mechanical and corrosion resistance performance will be achieved if high compressive residual stresses can be induced and retained in the. material. Objectives The research performed during the 36 months of the proposed program will investigate in detail the characterization and evaluations of multi-layer pyrochlore oxide, A2™*B."*O, for thermal barrier coatings. The overall objective of this research ° is to develop a manufacturing process to produce novel low thermal conductivity and high thermal stability pyrochlore oxides based laminates with improved high temperature corrosion resistance: The specific objectives of the proposed research are to: ® | Develop novel functionally gradient TBC, multi-layer pyrochlore oxide, by High Velocity Oxy-Fuel (HVOF) therme spray and/or Air Plasma Spraying (APS) technology using the concept of controlled residual stresses. * Characterize and evaluation TBC materials and their corrosion resistances under elevated temperature and corrosive environments.

For modern diesel engines, about 40% of fuel energy is released as waste heat from engine exhaust and turbocharger air. If 60% of the released heat was put to appropriate use, there would be a great fuel savings. For diesel engines, more than 30% of fuel energy is contained in exhaust as high temperature/high quality heat. However, in Alaska, recovery heat from the exhaust of village diesel generators has long been avoided due to the probable problems of corrosion caused by sulfuric acid and sulfurous acid, performance deterioration caused by corrosion and exhaust soot accumulation, and engine back pressure change. A few months ago, the Energy Center at the University of Alaska Fairbanks has completed a feasibility and econimic study about exhaust heat recovery using an 125 kW diesel generator. The heat recovery system and the engine generator set was monitored using numerous sensors and a Labview data acquization.(DAQ) system. With arr ability of adjusting 3 fluid parameters, the heat recovery system was able to optimize its performance for fluctuating engine load (between 25% to 100% rated load) and different types of space heating applications. After a 350-hour engine operation, the performance data was analyzed. Analysis result showd that the system recovered 16% of the fuel energy, no trace of corrosion was found inside heat exchanger and exhaust pipe, total soot accumulated inside the heat exchanger was minimum (150. grams) and easily cleaned using compressed air (a soft brush could do the same work). In other words, adding a heat exchanger would not affect the major maintenance schedule of the power plant. The difference between the performances of the engine before and after the 350 hours test was not noticeable. In other words, adding a heat recovery system showed no effect on the engine performance. The performance of the heat exchanger versus time after the first 100-hour engine operation was not noticeable (The first 100-hour engine performance data was used for system adjustment and calibration). In other words, effect of soot on heat exchanger performance was minimal. Based on economic analysis, the payback time of this particular heat recovery system would be between 3 and 4 years at a fuel price of $3/gallon with assumptions that the engine operates 8 hours/day and a 100% use of the recovered heat. Factors used in the economic analysis included initia ‘cost, maintenance cost (e.g. travel, lodging, meal, labor, shipping, supply), and operation cost. ~ The major concern for charge air heat recovery, which is different from that for exhaust heat recovery, is how to effectively recover the heat energy from the charge air. Charge air has temperatures much lower than the temperatures of exhaust. The nature of ralatively low temperature of charge air may restrict charge air heat recovery to limite types of heating applications. The level of influece of each of the design factors, which affect the design and performance of a heat recovery system, is | case dependent. Therefore, feasibility and economic analysis is recommended before applying (i.e. designing, installing, and operating) heat recovery to any of the village engine generator set. Example factors are type and size of the engine generator set, generator load pattern, fuel cost, travel and shipping costs, locations of the engine generator and heating load, typeof heating-application, etc. This letter of interest proposes the development of a user friendly (i.e. minimum training time) computer program for feasibility and economic analysis of applying exhaust and/or charge air heat recovery system to any particular village diesel’ generator set. The input of the computer program will include engine operation parameters (i.e. engine generator type and size, load pattern, etc.), village heating system parameters (i.e. type of heating application, heating system configuration, etc.), local fuel cast, informtion related to pipe and control system design, etc. The output of the computer program will include detailed design of the heat recovery system and feasibility and economic analysis result (i.e. payback time, sensitivity analyses with respect to fuel cost and interest rate, etc.). The work can be divided into information search (for design parameters search, design method seach, computer language selection, etc.), computer program development (i.e. prepropocessor, design and analysis code, postprocessor), program demonstration (using real village data), and final report.

(Attn: Matt Bergan, PE) Detailed Project Statement: Problem Statement: Maniilaq Association spends approximately $1.6: million annually on electricity and heating fuel for healthcare facilities in Kotzebue; one of the largest items in the Association budget. With the steady rise of world oil prices the cost of heating and electrification has risen accordingly. Maniilaq Association in conjunction with the Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium (ANTHC) hired the energy engineering firm of Newcomb, Anderson and McCormick in 2006 to conduct an audit of the energy usage of the Maniilaq Health Center and several other of the Maniilaq facilities in Kotzebue. The scope of the energy audit included interior and exterior lighting, HVAC systems, ‘plug loads and self/co-generation potential. : Project Objectives: The objective of this project is to implement the energy efficiency measures proposed in the energy audit by Newcomb, Anderson and McCormick. The outcome from the implementation will be an annual energy saving of 11% or approximately $172,000 per year. Statewide and Regional Impacts: Successful implementation of this project will demonstrate to other ‘organizations with aging infrastructure that upgrading their facilities to use modern HVAC controls, lighting systems, and electric motors will result in direct saving to the bottom line. : Work Plan: Twenty-three energy efficiency measures have been identified to implement. The initial stage of the project will determine the order in which the measures will be implemented. The next step will be to determine, for efficiency measure, the scope of materials and equipment needed and determine if the work will be done by Maniilaq staff or by contractor. Implementation of all measures will take approximately two years. To confirm the performance of the project, a follow-up energy audit will analyze areas of the facilities affected by the efficiency improvement measures.

Most are being constructed in the typical fashion, with little or no regard for sustainability. Materials are being shipped up from the lower 48 states when adequate materials are available in-state, or even locally. Embodied energy, and life-cycle analysis of energy use is often not a consideration. This oversight résults in buildings that consume far more limited non-renewable energy resources than necessary. Continued construction practices such as these are unsustainable. 2) Objectives: . . A)Reduce embodied energy of the building by utilizing local and renewable materials to the greatest extent possible, and by minimizing the use of high embodied energy materials such as cement. B) Reduce non-renewable energy usage over the lifespan of the building by incorporating passive solar, thermal mass; active solar, and wind generation in complimentary design. 3) Alaska will have a model for replicating a more sustainable building construction method. The method will demonstrate the use of materials that can be worked by hand instead of machine, that can be found locally instead of importing, that have a low embodied energy value, that are renewable, and that will add value to the building performance. The added component of addressing energy usage over the lifecycle of the building by incorporating renewable energy inputs makes the design and construction method a valuable pilot project that could be replicated across the state. : 4) The focus on sustainability during construction will be achieved by utilizing straw bales, a local renewable material, for the wall insulation, locally milled lumber where possible, and the local abundant materials of clay, sand, and chopped straw, for the plaster wall covering. This plaster will also add thermal mass which will integrate well with the high insulation value of the strawbales, and the passive solar design. Designing for passive solar gain and incorporating solar panels and wind generation will help reduce the lifecycle nonrenewable energy usage of the building, a key to sustainable construction. 5) Loopy Lupine will provide funding in the amount of $70,000 towards design and construction.

The higher cost of electricity prevents business development. Small businesses are essential in rural communities. The cost of the electrical intertie has prevented many communities from being connected to the power grid. Coffman Cove pays 48 cents per killowatt hour. There is no way you can operate a restaurant or grocery store and pay $750 per month for one cooler. In January there was a conference in Ketchikan on Tidal Power. The potential in SE Alaska for tidal power is enormous. This proposed power grid for hydropower from the Four Dam Pooll will connect to Canada through Bradfield Canal allowing us to sell power to the Pacific Northwest. Power that is created daily with no cost to the environment. We could be the "Prudhoe Bay" of SE. If done right the return to the state in taxes and jobs could benefit Alaskans forever. Coffman Cove has the expertise to work with the environmental group, AP&T and Verdant Power to work through the permitting process and be a protoype for tidal power in Alaska. Eventually we will be tied into the island wide grid on Prince of Wales Island and could share the excess power to lower everyones electricity. SEACC has stated their support for tidal power and could be a major player in working through the permitting process. Trey Taylor from Verdant power was at the conference and he was very interested in working in Alaska on a project. The cost of transmission lines could stall tidal power for years. Coffman Cove has the potential for tidal power and the transmission lines are already in place. This will increase the feasibility of a tidal power project. Once one project is in place and successful the cost of transmission linés to areas with faster and larger tidal flows will make sense. Thank you for the opportunity to bring attention to tidal power in SE Alaska. | personally think the potential in mind blowing. ; Elaine Price Statement of Interest In Developing an Alaskan Alternative-Renewable Energy or Energy Efficiency’ Breigs [= ALASKA @—_> ENERGY AUTHORITY = A oN ALaseh é i Project Title: 7 WHITTIER CREEK HYDRO Organization: APPLIED: GEOMETRY Contact Name: William Lathan Phone Numbef: Address: ~~ PO Box 1803 124 East Third Avenue #408 a .

Hydroelectric on smaller scale has a lack of demonstration of mass produced turbines rather than the more costly custom built machinery. Custom built machinery typically costs ten times that of mass produced parts. Of course South central Alaska is running out of natural gas and most of the alternate energy sources are not economically viable yet. Project Objectives This project leaves almost no footprint; the intake is an infiltration gallery on the canyon floor requiring no concrete or heavy machinery. There is a natural pooling here, but if it is too small a couple of ‘?’ beams spanning the approximately 20 between bedrock - canyon walls can be installed. The penstock HDPE pipe is fussed in the winter and . skidded on the snow eliminating the need for a road. This pipe is attached to the canyon wall with rock bolts. The canyon is deep and not visible from town. The Industrial Revolution evolved in part from standardized parts or mass production. Standardized parts seem ok for building cars but not hydroelectric projects. This project would demonstrate the use of mass produced parts. This renewable energy project has been economical viable since FERC License was issued. As a condition for a FERC License a project has to at have the possibility of economical success, Begich Towers a 14 story building, 1,200 feet from the proposed powerhouse had a single electrical meter. At the time a Public Utility was ten customers or more, so I could sell power to Begich Towers in the summer at less than Chugach Electric demonstrating a feasible project. Regrettably I could not get a power purchase agreement with either them or the local seasonal seafood processor. Now at 5 cents a KWH at avoided cost for natural gas, it is an extremely good project This project would be demonstration of the use of turbines mass produced primarily for another purpose as hydroelectric turbines. There are hundreds of different sizes that can be used for the varying site conditions of coastal Alaska.

The social and economic issues of climate change in Alaska are apparent. We can observe, firsthand, the chain of scientific ramifications presented by the melting polar cap. Finding ways to address our dependence on fossil fuels and the resultant carbon dioxide emissions is not so easy. The Geothermal Energy Project at the Juneau International Airport offers significant energy saving opportunities to buildings at the airport, and: has much potential to simultaneously serve as a public demonstration of energy conservation and alternative energy technologies. PROJECT OVERVIEW & OBJECTIVES. The’ primary objective of the Geothermal Energy Project is to apply ground source heat pump (GSHP) technology to the renovation of the terminal, and to further consider it for a new Snow Removal |- Equipment Building. The terminal renovation addresses numerous deficiencies and will modernize the facility to allow it to function better as a critical transportation link and economic hub. The Snow Removal Equipment Building is a new facility that will house and maintain essential vehicles and equipment that keep the runway and airfield open at all times. Reducing energy consumption costs and moving to an efficient, renewable hydroelectric energy system supplied by local |. sources are the two primary reasons that GSHP technology is being considered at the airport. The system will utilize ground wells to extract heat from the earth that will be delivered to the building. : PROJECT IMPACT TO ALASKA. GSHP systems are widely known and used throughout North America, but have been slow to be adopted in Alaska. The engineering requires specialized knowledge, but is not considered cutting edge. The lack of widespread use in Alaska seems more a reflection of construction economics, especially costs relating to the coupling the building to the ground source. Special construction experience in ground-coupling (the specific way in which heat is extracted from the ground) is often dictated by physical constraints of the site. Further, as with design, contractors need specialized expertise that develops from repeated installations; this leads to lowered construction costs. In essence, itis a “Catch 22” dilemma that has been dominated by “first cost” hurdles that have made GSHP systems unaffordable. The geology of SE Alaska provides exciting potential for geothermal systems. Rivers, ponds, and wells provide abundan. quantities of water. In many small communities, wells are already relied upon for domestic water. Using the well to exchange heat with the ground that, in turn, heats (and/or cools) the building is economically sensible. Providing a project that demonstrates the many advantages of geothermal systems will help people see their own potential, and will help contractors establish a knowledge base so that initial construction costs are more reasonable. WORK PLAN. The terminal renovation is proceeding in phases, as funding becomes available. The first phase of work is currently under design and is scheduled to advertise for public bids in early Spring, 2008. The funding currently available for the first phase is approximately $10 million. The total funding needed for all renovation and expansion of the terminal is approximately $50 million. We are also considering geothermal energy for the new Snow Removal Equipment Building, which is scheduled to begin design in early 2008 and go to bid in Spring, 2009. Receiving grant funding early in the design process will add to the momentum we need to move forward in this innovative direction. | PARTNERSHIPS. We view the exploration of alternative energy both a responsibility and an opportunity. The Juneau City & Borough Assembly is demonstrating its commitment to energy conservation and innovation. Recently, they formed the Sustainability Commission to examine CBJ practices relating-to energy use. JNU Airport Architect Catherine Fritz-is a member of that Commission. Serving as the Project Manager for both the airport projects, Ms. Fritz has extensive knowledge in emerging sustainable practices and a strong desire to apply her expertise to the airport buildings. Ms. Fritz recently secured $25,000 from the CBJ Energy Fund to assist with digging a test well and analyzing the data at the airport to ensure that GSHP is viable, and she continues to seek out funding partners for viable, long term energy solutions. By |’ - providing funding assistance to the airport's Geothermal Energy project, the Denali Commission can be assured that the project will be developed and documented so other communities will benefit from our expertise, particularly those in SE Alaska where many similar physical conditions exist, making GHSP worth considering.

For the purposes of this Letter of interest, | am focusing on the Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy aspects of the RRRTP. 1. Problem Being Addressed The cost of energy is a critical component to “economic sustainability” for any organization (private or public). We are developing a Net Zero Energy commercial facility that will integrate and demonstrate energy efficiency and renewable energy systems. The facility will serve as a research and training platform to educate community and business leaders about the connections between energy efficiency, renewbale energy and economic sustainability. 2. Program Objectives Energy-related Facility Components will include systems that are integrated into the building envelope and systems that are external to the envelope. Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy systems we intend to pursue in the early stages of facility development include: Super-efficient Building Envelope, Passive Solar (where appropriate), Solar PV, Solar Thermal, Wind Energy, and Water-Based Thermal Energy Storage. . Additional Energy systems that will be evaluated and utilized, depending on funding, include: External Wood-fired Boiler system, Stationary Generator using biofuels, Moderate Temperature ORC thermal (“Chena Chiller”) technology, Methane Recovery and Production (Llandfill Gas, Biomass Composting, etc). It is important to note that we intend to develop an integrated mix of energy systems, using a wide variety of renewable and “waste” energy sources. In keeping with the educational part of the VCRS mission, all systems will be. “transparent” for demonstration, training and technology transfer purposes. - Attention will be paid during the design stage to allow for access for monitoring equipment necessary to ensure proper research methodology. 3. Impact if Project Successful, and Application Throughout Alaska We believe that the rise in fossil energy costs will result in this type of facility becoming the norm in public and private commercial construction. The RRRTP will not only be a place for research, training and technology transfer in solid waste reduction and re-use (addressing critical issues statewide), but also in energy conservation, renewable energy production, and integrated energy systems. The RRRTP is being designed for “system transparency” to demonstrate energy efficient and renewable energy technologies to visiting groups (e.g. village leaders), and we expect similar facilities will eventually be developed in many regions of the state. 4, Work Plan The general work plan‘is as follows: Fall 2007 architectural and engineering design; Spring, Summer, Fall 2008: building construction; FallMWinter 2008: move in and open for operation; On-going - research, fundraising and implementation/integration of external renewable energy systems and systems using “waste” resources, to achieve’ Net Zero Energy use. 5. Other Pertinent Information The projected: cost of this facility is $4.6 million (estimated in January 2006). The Mat-Su Borough has committed $2.5 Million, and we are working with state, federal and private funders for the remainder. We are seeking an additional $1.0 million to research, plan and develop several external renewable and “waste” material energy systems.

We propose to replace some of their.required Heating Oil (fuel oil, diesel, which costs upwards to $4.50 /gal.) with readily available and on site used motor oils (otherwised considered an expensive liability). By burning their used oil in our proven EL - Black | Gold Heaters and Boilers, they reduce overall heating costs and eliminate a disposal liability. 2) Objective: Provide an affordable heating option with alternate fuels, while disposing of a potential pollutant. Alaska’ DEC Quote: "... one part per million (1 ppm) contamination (of used oil) will spoil the taste and odor of drinking water. At this ratio, it would take just 1 pint of oil to noticably contaminate 125,000 gallons of drinking water. That's more than 15 people drink in a lifefime." (1 gallon of used oil has the potential to contaminate a million gallons of fresh water). 3) Utilization of local waste oil could reduce energy costs by providing a free heating fuel while eliminating potential enviromental hazard. Is suited to all Alaskan Communities due to their generation of used oils from equipment, vehicles and power plants. 4) Nuera Corporation would provide a source supply of user frendly customer operated, alternate heating equipment, with Nuera providing product support, technical, installation, operation & service assistance. Local community personnel are generally capable of installing, operating and maintaining these systems. 5) The Black Gold equipment with Nuera, has been in use throughout Alaska for over 20 years, & is highly regarded as a quality, reliable alternative to high heating costs and used oil disposal liabilities. The Black Gold systems by Energy Logic are UL Listed, EPA approved & designed for burning used oil, including used cooking/vegetable oil as an alternate fuel. Nuera Corporation has specialized in promoting dependable used oil heating & recycling throughout Alaska since 1984.

Whiting and Associates Detailed Project Statement: Cook Inlet:tides have the potential to produce 18,000 Mega Watts ( (MW). As a renewable resource, tidal current flow is very predictable and tidal charts are accurate to within minutes, for years ahead. Tidal current is basically independent of prevailing weather conditions such as wind, fog, rain, and clouds that can impact other renewable generation forecasts. Slack tides occur at different times at various places in Cook inlet. There appears to always be available current with enough velocity to turn a turbine that will produce electricity that can be fed into the intertie system. ‘ For producing electrical energy from the Cook Inlet tidal stream, there are basically two alternatives: a large mega-watt installation which will provide power but is limited to production during the higher velocity current of the local tidal cycle and to the high installation costs of the system, including redundant on land power generation, or a distributed power system comprising many smaller, intertie connected, tidal power generators, bottom anchored offshore in the tidal current and situated from Knik and Turnagain Arms to Homer and Kachemak Bay. This project will install and operate for one year, three 100 plus kW tidal power generators; one near Point Mackenzie, one near East Forelands and one near Homer. Permits have not been applied for at this time. Each site will be selected after consideration of currents, bottom conditions, ice, access to the electrical grid and local concerns. The concept of distributed power generation was proposed by Thomas Edison and is applicable to any tidal power installation. The following steps are anticipated in completing this project; 1 - A desktop study will be one of the first activities carried out, ideally before site selection is completed. There is a great deal of information in the public domain. By investigating several sites a small amount of monetary investment and effort expended at this stage will return significant results. A complete search for available turbines and generators’ capable of withstanding the harshness of Cook Inlet will be made. 2 - Preliminary site surveys will be conducted to obtain reliable information on the nature of the sea floor, sub- bottom, ice conditions and tidal currents to permit economical design, installation and maintenance of the sites selected i i: the desktop study. 3 - Select and order inter-connecting and monitoring equipment and the turbine-generators for each site. There may be more than one manufacturer that have suitable equipment and turbines. 4 - Design shore cable, a mount, an anchoring system and a recovery method for the selected turbine generator system. . . a Select and mobilize a vessel for the installations. - Installation at each site will consist of a control/monitoring unit, a shore cable (armored where necessary and buried near shore), an anchoring system for the cable offshore and a tidal turbine/generator housing and anchoring | system capable of fending off intrusions. such as fishing nets. The entire system must allow for eas e of maintenance and complete recovery. 7 - One year of surveying, monitoring and maintenance of the systems with removal of all at the end. Other considerations; 1 - Compared to the large wind turbine farms operating today, the power output as well as the size of the Cook inlet tidal current is very promising. 2- A number of measures will have to be taken at the design stage to reduce the frequency and difficulty of maintenance. The marine environment is corrosive - metal components will have to be protected. The generator will have to be well sealed and external components will need to be constructed from materials that do not corrode. Ice conditions at the selected sites will be an important consideration. 3 - There is a need to validate practical rotor designs used underwater. Such developments were initially based on wind turbine rotor design. A vertical-axis rotor may prove practical in this environment. 4 - Fund matching has not been considered at this time but will be a part of a final proposal. Various important factors unique to the marine environment of Cook Inlet need to be addressed (fish; belugas, other marine life). In summary: As a seasoned Cook Inlet Hydrographic surveyor, | have experienced the power of Cook ‘Inlet tidal currer and have spent considerable time and effort researching ways to harness the potential power and convert it to usable energy. Cook Inlet tidal current is going to be developed not only because its time has arrived but also because global warming requires an increase in electrical generation from renewable resources. The need to exploit Cook Inlet tidal energy is being recognized and the engineering capability to do so is now available.

Tidal current is basically independent of prevailing weather conditions such as wind, fog, rain, and clouds that can impact other renewable generation forecasts. Slack fides occur at different times at various places in Cook inlet. There appears to always be available current with enough velocity to turn a turbine that will produce electricity that can be fed into the intertie system. ‘ For producing electrical energy from the Cook Inlet tidal stream, there are basically two alternatives: a large mega-watt installation which will provide power but is limited to production during the higher velocity current of the local tidal cycle and to the high installation costs of the system, including redundant on land power generation, or a distributed power system comprising many smaller, intertie connected, tidal power generators, bottom anchored offshore in the tidal current and situated from Knik and Turnagain Arms to Homer and Kachemak Bay. This project will install and operate for one year, three 100 plus kW tidal power generators; one near Point Mackenzie, one near East Forelands and one near Homer. Permits have not been applied for at this time. Each site will be selected after consideration of currents, bottom conditions, ice, access to the electrical grid and local concerns. The concept of distributed power generation was proposed by Thomas Edison and is applicable to any tidal power installation. The following steps are anticipated in completing this project; 4 - A desktop study will be one of the first activities carried out, ideally before site selection is completed. There is a great deal of information in the public domain. By investigating several sites a small amount of monetary investment and effort expended at this stage will return significant results. A complete search for available turbines and generators capable of withstanding the harshness of Cook Inlet will be made. 2 - Preliminary site surveys will be conducted to obtain reliable information on the nature of the sea floor, sub- bottom, ice conditions and tidal currents to permit economical design, installation and maintenance of the sites selected ir the desktop study. 3 - Select and order inter-connecting and monitoring equipment and the turbine-generators for each site. There ‘may be more than one manufacturer that have suitable equipment and turbines. 4 - Design shore cable, a mount, an anchoring system and a recovery method for the selected turbine generator system. 5 - Select and mobilize a vessel for the installations. : 6 - Installation at each site will consist of a control/monitoring unit, a shore cable (armored where necessary and buried near shore), an anchoring system for the cable offshore and a tidal-turbine/generator housing and anchoring system capable of fending off intrusions. such as fishing nets. The entire system must allow for eas e of maintenance and complete recovery. 7 - One year of surveying, monitoring and maintenance of the systems with removal of all at the end. Other considerations; 1 - Compared to the large wind turbine farms operating today, the power output as well as the size of the Cook Inlet tidal current is very promising. 2 - A number of measures will have to be taken at the design stage to reduce the frequency and difficulty of maintenance. The marine environment is corrosive-- metal components will have to be protected. The generator will have to be well sealed and external components will need to be constructed from materials that do not corrode. \ce conditions at the selected sites will be an important consideration. 3 - There is a need to validate practical rotor designs used underwater. Such developments were initially based on wind turbine rotor design. A vertical-axis rotor may prove practical in this environment. 4- Fund matching has not been considered at this time but will be a part of a final proposal. Various important factors unique to the marine environment of Cook Inlet need to be addressed (fish, belugas, other marine life). In summary: As a seasoned Cook Inlet Hydrographic surveyor, | have experienced the power of Cook Inlet tidal currer and have spent considerable time and effort researching ways to harness the potential power and convert it to usable energy. Cook Inlet tidal current is going to be developed not only because its time has arrived but also because global warming requires an increase in electrical generation from renewable resources. The need to @ exploit Cook Inlet tidal energy is being recognized and the engineering capability to do so is now available.

White, ffdmw@uaf.edu, 907-474-6222 1. Problem being addressed by this project: The State of Alaska has unaddressed energy and power needs. In order to diversify, develop, and méet basic needs for energy, basic and applied research and testing are needed. We hope that ACEP will be able to meet some of these needs. 2. Program objectives: The Alaska Center for Energy and Power (ACEP) is currently in the formation stages. We expect ACEP to be a collaborative organization between the University of Alaska, the State of Alaska, municipalities and related organizations, non- governmental organizations (NGOs), and private industry. For example, we expect participation from the Cold Climate Housing Research Center, the Fairbanks Northstar Borough, the Juneau and Fairbanks Economic Development Centers, and a variety of private entities from Chena Hot Springs Resort to Shell Exploration and Development. in the preliminary vision, ACEP will focus on applied research and testing in three divisions: alternative and renewable energy, | “the oilfield of the future", and "powering the economy". The alternative and renewable energy division will focus on testing of | new technologies in the arctic environment, evaluating the performance of new installations,and developing hybrid solutions to | take advantage of regional energy opportunities, such as geothermal, wind, and wave power. We hope that developing, testing, | and enhancing alternative and renewable energy will save the state as much in the power cost equalization program as it invests | in ACEP. | The oilfield of the future division will focus on new resource opportunities such as gas liquids and gas hydrates. We hope that thi oil industry and other private companies will fund this division. The oil industry is already looking at the next set of big opportunities. In addition to gas hydrates, we believe that studies on the gas pipeline as well as maintaining an aging oil infrastructure will fit in this division. There are many unanswered questions relating to the design and operation of a buried, chilled, gas Pipetine, We hope these will be addressed by ACEP. The powering the economy division will focus on big power opportunities such as SOOMW and greater power plants located in the Aleutians. These power plants with marine access could serve high energy demands such minerals refining. Mineral concentrates from the Red Dog mine are currently shipped overseas for refining. One reason for this is the high cost of power. The | Aleutians have marine access and are adjacent to shipping routes from the US to Asia. In addition, with future Arctic Ocean transport, the Aleutians will be even better positioned to serve as the refining center of the world. Currently, the refining centers are Iceland, Norway, and other Atlantic hubs with cheap power. With our own cheap power, raw materials from Russia, China, and | Alaska can be refined-here, bringing jobs and revenues. Iceland provides geothermal power at 2 cents/kWh. Alaska could as well. The development of these resources needs research and ACEP hopes to provide this service. | i | | | | i i i | | We hope to fund the ACEP through a combination of state, federal, and industry funding. We hope the state contribution canbe | S5M/yr with another $5M/yr from Federal and industry sources. We expect this to be fully collaborative organization, ’ | administered through the University of Alaska, with the appropriate state agency partners, industry, NGOs, and local organizations. 3. Impact to Alaska: Alaska stands to benefit from ACEP by having an organization that is actively addressing energy and power needs. These benefits will range from cheaper power in rural Alaska to jobs and revenues for the state. This is an opportunity for the state to diversify and take advantage of its abundant resource and global position. We expect that applied research and testing in ACEP will affect Alaskans in the coming years and the coming generations. 4. Workplan: We have a general workplan that will be modified as the concept and funding are developed. The workplan involve - having an organization that can conduct testing and evaluation services for the state, applied research on new technologies anc fundamental research on some issues such as geothermal resource characterization. Some operations will be direct-funded, sucn ; as testing and evaluation. Others will be funded as grants by ACEP using state or federal dollars. The grants program will be i established with state, industry, and stakeholder involvement. | 5.

Executive Project Description (Highlights of project) e Mount Spurr area represents one of the best opportunities in Alaska for utility-scale geothermal development. The varget site is located 70 miles west of Anchorage on state land. Field work was performed at the site in 1985. It is reasonable to expect that a project would take shape if the generating plant could support in the range of 50-150 MW. Determining the range will depend on the outcome of exploration drilling. Within the last 12 months, Ormat has pursued leases for the prospect and submitted a preliminary development plan to the Alaska DNR.

Detailed Project Statement: 1) There are several problems/challenges being addressed by this project such as the need for emissions reduction, contending with load growth, the need to contend with sensitive environments, preserving natural gas supplies, and mitigating fuel price risk. Geothermal power may help address all of these problems. For example, geothermal plants can provide a base load power source 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Geothermal power plants average over 90% capacity factor and a 98% availability factor. Geothermal power plants are non-combustion and produce near zero or zero emissions of pollutants and greenhouse gases. Due to the climate in Alaska, plants can be air- cooled, with no need to consume ground-water resources for the cooling process. Geothermal power is a field proven technology with approximately 9,000 MW installed worldwide. Plants can be monitored from a central location to avoid the need for permanent staff to be located at the facility. The lifetime supply of fuel for the plant is capitalized, thus there is no fuel price risk. As a result of these attributes, geothermal power can be used to mitigate supply shortages of. natural gas. 2) Geothermal development has long been sought as a way to ease Alaska’s energy problems. Unfortunately, previous efforts towards geothermal development have been limited, not by size of Alaska’s geothermal resource, but due: to the lack of financial resources to follow through with exploration and development. The objective of this project is to perform the necessary exploration to determine resource viability. If exploration efforts result in positive conclusions, development of the resource for power generation will be pursued. While power from the Mount Spurr project would be directed at serving Railbelt communities, and not necessarily serve Alaska's most rural communities, its success could provide a _| framework for future geothermal exploration and development efforts in Alaska. 3) The investment made in this effort could yield substantial benefits for Alaska. For one thing, if the size of the resource is between 50 and 150 MW (or greater), it could supply a significant, reliable base-load power source for at least 30 years. Even at 50 MW, the benefits to Alaska’s economy can be significant. For example, according to a 2006 study by the Geothermal Energy Association in Washington D.C. (prepared for the U.S. Department of Energy) an average 50 MW geothermal plant would provide direct, induced, and indirect jobs for 212 full-time jobs and employ an average of 800 people per year*. Such a plant has an economic output of $749 million over 30 years and a contribution to the State government of $10.9 million; it could avoid the use of 900 thousand barrels of oil per year. The resource is site-specific, limiting extension to other locations. However, other applications for the technology are possible. Geothermal resources can be used to develop alternative fuels, enhance mineral recovery, and may support .| other viable industrial uses, if economically and technically feasible.. : *Keep in mind the reason there are’so many jobs is accounting for the power. plant jobs, construction, engineering, and manufacturing jobs that are directly or indirectly created or induced by the plant's construction. The plant would not employ 800 people each year. Source: Kagel, Alyssa. A Handbook on the Externalities, Employment, and Economics of Geothermal Energy. Geothermal Energy Association, October 2006. 4) At this time, only a work plan for Exploration and Resource Delineation has been outlined. If these measures are successful, we will proceed with a full developmeni/construction plan. The Exploration and Resource Delineation plan is expected to encompass four phases as described, to be conducted over a four to five year period at total cost of $9,000,000 to $11,000,000. This plan includes four phases that would culminate in the drilling of the first production well. 5) In early 2007, Ormat pursued a Call for Application process, which commenced on April 9th of 2007. We submitted our response on May 14th of 2007. A best-interest determination for the tracts applied for in the Call for Application Process is ongoing. Because Ormat was not the only respondent to the Call for Application, a competitive bidding process will commence pending the results of the best interest determination. If the best interest determination results in the granting of geothermal leases, it is expected that leases will be obtained by February 2008.

Alaskan communities are heavily burdened with high energy costs and the lack of affordable, modern housing with reasonable maintenance costs. Solar Home Clusters will include net positive energy systems which make the energy usage of the units self sufficient, with electricity produced over and above the home's needs to be sent into the utility grid to provide homeowner income. Modular living units of 500 to 750 square feet will include composting waste systems, (including toilets and food waste management,) and food-producing greenhouses. Local products will be evaluated to mirror state of art construction and insulation materials at lower costs. Heating alternatives to supplement solar in restrictive weather conditions include wood waste burning. This new technology will also provide opportunities for job growth in the region, with local resident job training in construction and systems installation/maintenance. The concept of clusters and energy independence, accompanied by job growth as a local export into the region, stimulates economic development and encourages healthy community building, with the associated increased quality of educational opportunities, 2. The objectives of the project include: Site evaluation and system customization for homes and solar, waste and greenhouse systems Choose appropriate commuinity(s) in the Alaska Panhandle for cluster development Build 5 to 10 homes in 2 to 3 clusters in a selected community...with solar and waste management and greenhouse Monitor and evaluate technical performance aspects of all systems Monitor and evaluate environmental impacts and social results Create new communitiy building prototypes for solar home clusters and future communities in the region Describe the economic renewal process and social achievements of the concept in practice 1 3. Utilization of available "no-fuel" power supplies natural to the region will create energy-efficient living structures, provide income to the occupants of the clusters, and develop an increasing awarenesss of multiple strategies for gaining loce independence and for promoting economic growth on the local and regional Jevel. The impact (from solar home cluster with energy independence and power decentralization) on the region and its future development will be assessed in a comprehensive economic and energy data base. 4. Operational Working Plan: - 1. Design & Customization of Homes, Solar Systems, Waste Management (composting) and Greenhouse Plans - 2, Site assessments based on Community Requirements and Individual Needs - 3.

Natural gas is the primary fuel for electrical generation and heat in the upper Cook Inlet. The Cook Inlet tidal energy resource can play a significant role in offsetting the increasing cost of electricity while allowing for the diversion of gas resources for heat use. Program Objectives: 1. Proof of design for the OCGen™ TGU demonstrated in Cook Inlet/Knik Arm 2. Public/private sector partnership developed for project funding . 3. OCGen™ module proven to be effective method for scaling electricity production 4. Successful commercial project in operation with railbelt grid customers purchasing tens of megawatts of emission- free electricity from Cook Inlet tidal resources 5. Based on Cook Inlet project success, commence deployment of OCGen™ projects in other areas of Alaska, including remote coastal and island communities Potential Impact on Alaska: . In the future tidal energy will bé a significant contributor to the energy production mix of both rural and urban Alaska. With more coastline than the rest of the United States combined, tidal energy will play a strong role as a highly predictable, 400% renewable, emission-free energy source. Many rural sites in Southeast Alaska and the Aleutians have been identified as having significant tidal energy potential. Once the OCGen™ technology is proven and in mass production, the now marginally or non economic projects of rural Alaska will be a new market for this technology at a price point that will be attractive for the rural communities. In addition, ORPC will be creating jobs in the short and long term in Alaska. ORPC has a staffed office in Anchorage with plans to expand staffing levels with development of the first Alaskan projects. The design of mooring systems and current mapping for turbine placement will be done by Alaskan marine ‘earch/engineering firms. The final assembly of the OCGen™ modules for the Cook Inlet and subsequent projects will done at Port Mackenzie with Alaskan labor. Over time, tidal energy will become a focus in our university.system | creating employment opportunities for educators and researchers. Ongoing repair and maintenance of the OCGen™ equipment will be done by Alaskans with the potential to expand and monetize our expertise in the development of new projects as they are identified around the world. , Program Work Plan: All necessary permits secured-07/08 Funding for demonstration/test secured-07/08 Demonstration of proof of design for a demonstration TGU with 3-4 weeks of testing completed- -08 Funding for year long full scale prototype OCGen™ module deployment secured-08 Engineering of full scale OCGen™ module completed-09/10 | Deployment of full scale OCGen™ module for full year of testing-10/11 Engineering for grid connectivity.completed-11/12 FERC licensing process completed-1 1/12 Funding secured for build out of OCGen™ module arrays-1 1/12 40.

Name: Organization: Phone: Email: muvee Project Title: |Igtugig Tribal Village Alternative Energy Scoping and Resource Project a = =r =x == aes: aa — Organization: histugig Tribal Village Council Detailed Project Statement The Tribal Village of Igiugig, located in the Lake and Peninsula Borough, faces many challenges in its efforts to provide Tribal : members and other Village residents with affordable utilities services, In a time of significantly increasing fuel prices, residents of iglugig pay $.603 and non-residents pay $.709 Kw/H for utility services. The State of Alaska also subsidizes these rates, through the Power Cast Equalization (PCE) program and the Village continues to face increasing fuel prices, most recently paying $4.00/ gation of diesel fuel. Exacerbating the costs pressures facing the Village has been the historically low water levels of the Kvichak river which has limited and/or prevented barge service on the river, Further, with an increased emphasis on the impact of carbon : burning fossil fuels on the Alaskan environment, it has become more important than ever for Alaskan Tribal communities to take a leadership stance on how best to promote and preserve our residents well-being as 5 well as the health of the subsistence resources on which the community depends. As proposed, this project has several objectives which correspond to the long-term visions and strategic goals of the Village. By pursuing alternative and renewable energy sources, the Village will be able to meet its continuing obligation ta community members by providing readily available energy for consumption at more affordable prices - controlling energy costs will also expand the ability of the Village to provide other necessary services to community members, including an enhanced focus on business and economic development locally - which can help create additional jobs in the community and increase the independence of Tribal members and Village residents, Further, the project will help to serve as a model for other Native communities that alternative energy projects can be developed, managed, and'implemented successfully on alacallevel. The: project will encourage energy independence and further the cause of environmental stewardship within the Community, helping * to teach the lessons of environmental responsibility to younger residents of the Village while working to preserve the traditional subsistence Native way of life. Specific goals of the project include: ~ Reduce the dependence of the Village on Carbon-based fuels by 40-60%, : - Reduce approximately 50,000K gallons of oil transportation on the Kvichak River/Lake lliamna watershed, }- Provide a reliable and more affordable source of energy to community residents, . - Increase environmental awareness throughout the community, and ! - Reduce the Village's Carbon footprint if successful, the proposed Igitigig project could be used as a model for energy independence with other Native Alaskan Communities. By taking ownership of, and directly addressing, the rising costs of fuel in the Village while working to enhance the - Community's stewardship of the environment, a positive example can be set for other Alaskan communities to fallow In their own efforts to become more energy efficient and less dependable on outside resources for long-term sustainability. Given the prior successes of the Igiugig Tribal Council in other larae-scale infrastructure projects, its awards for community sustainability, and its ° active role as a partner and mentor to neighboring cammunities on Lake Iliamna and within the Lake and Peninsula Borough, the — Village believes that the successful completion of the project will encourage other communities to follow suit. As propased, the work plan related to this project will include the following: - Complete a feasibility study and review of Wind and Hydro-electrical power generation within the Village of Igiugig, - Develop d desigh which would incorporate the Village's location on the fast-flowing Kvichak River and the persistent winds present in thie Community to harness these alternative energies to reduce Community dependence on Carbon-fuels, - Construction of wind/hydro-electrical technology, as determined by the feasibility plan and scoping efforts, and - Train personnel, aperate, maintaln, and monitor new technologias for efficiency, effectiveness, and dependability considerations. The Village has completed independent efforts to assess the overall feasibility of the proposed project. The Village has reviewed the proposed location of the hydro-elactric turbine proposed for the Kvichak River, noting that the flow rate at the praposed tocation is between 5-7 mph on a consistent basis. Additionally, the River depth at the proposed lacation is suitable year around for the proposed technology, while mitigating the potential impact of ice/debris present in the River, The Village power generation facility is strategically located directly adjacent to the Kvichak River and maintains a recently upgraded, modern, 7200 © Volt underground distribution system. The Village also has monitored, on a daily basis, weather conditions, including wind direction and speed, for the past five years. The data collected. by the Village, regarding both the potential of hydro-electrical and wind power, will greatly assist in the efforts to start the project and achieve results on a more timely basis. The Village has secured: in-kind land acquisitions necessary to complete the project as well as matching funds exceeding $50,000 to bring this project ta fruition, .

Chignik Lagoon has faced economic hardships for the last decade due to low salmon ex vessel prices and rapidly rising energy costs. The village is presently in a crisis situation due to the exploding fuel costs to operate the diesel electric generators. The board members of the Chignik Lagoon Power Utility, CLPU, are trying to address this crisis and develop a plan to keep the utility solvent in the short term, and viable in the long term with an alternative energy source of hydroelectric generating system that will be affordable to ensure the economic survival of the village. CLPU has made the decision to take a proactive approach to fast track the design and construction of hydroelectric power. With the availability of a renewable energy source literally in our back yard the community of Chignik Lagoon is seeking funding to develop an alternative energy source; specifically the 190 kW project on Packers Creek. This project can provide for mast of the communities current power needs, which peak at about 140 kW. The plant would eliminate about 85% of 50,000 gallons of diesel consumed by the generators annually. There will also be excess energy that could be used for heating the school and other local structures. The project would also enable the community to add a freezer/processing facility to further improve the local economy. The hydroelectric power generating system on Packers Creek will allow for imiprovements to the local infrastructure and alleviate economic hardships by offsetting the ever increasing costs of diesel generated electric power. Environmentally, renewable energy will alleviate the necessity of hauling, storing, and consuming fossil fuels. This is an important benefit considering the sensitive salmon fry rearing area affected by the dangers of oil spills, and toxic wastes: The permitting of project will be simple because the land is locally owned. There are no unusual terrain or other factors that will make construction difficult. There is even equipment within the community to construct the plant. All of the local residents strongly support this project.

The pilot project goals are to demonstrate the use of solar energy to reduce the-cost to operate the facilities and lower the dependence on diese! fuel. Fuel is burned year round in Nome to heat facilities even almost every day in the summertime. - Program Objectives: Solar energy systems have the potential to provide space heating and power generation. The pilot project will provide funds to design and install a solar energy packaged system with panels and associated equipment and engineer plans to retrofit the heating systems for the addition and effective utilization of the solar energy. A monitoring and reporting system will provide information for the City to share with the community on the effiencies of solar generation. Essentially every day in Nome is a heating day throughout the year. Current estimates of solar energy show an average energy from Solar to be very low in the winter months and in fact almost zero during December. However, there is a large amount of solar energy April through September with estimates from NASA at a monthly average of over 5.5 kwh/m2/day in June which is similar to Arizona. May and July estimates are between 4.5 and 5 kwh/m2/day. The high cost of diesel makes a system like this cost effective even when it provides limited energy offsets half of the year since whatever energy the system does contribute directly offsets fuel usage. These two systems are on highly visible structures and the cost of implementation is reduced right now since the community center is getting an entirely new roof and the student housing is currently under construction. Also, the engineering of the systems will be spread across the two installations and make each more cost effective. This system will be an example of hopefully many systems to be installed in the future that can help reduce the summertime use of fuel particularly for heating needs. Nome is a difficult’ environment for heating and |- living expenses are high. The wind blows the roofs clear of snow year round and thus, this system should be clear most of the time. Nome has a high percentage of clear sunny days which also helps maximize the production of solar energy. A wind augmentation system utilizing small vertical axis wind turbines will be evaluated also which could dramatically augment the solar energy contribution. Impact to Communities: Heating costs in Nome and nearby villages and communities have more than doubled in recen years for virtually every building. This project will demonstrate a sustainable method to lower the dependence on diesel fuel which is very high in northwest Alaska. Lowering the cost of energy for these buildings (and other city facilities in the community) will lower taxes residents pay for these services. Demonstrating the cost effective use of solar energy and documenting the system performance will provide an example for other businesses and residential applications around the entire region. The recreation center is used year round for sports and other community events including the Iditarod dinner. Solar energy on'this building will provide significant exposure to the community. The student housing building will be occupied by students from villages around the region and will also be an excellent example of renewable energy solutions that can be applied in other locations. Work Plan: : Task 1: Perform a technical assessement of the power usage on the rec center and design the mechanical and electrical system to retro fit for use of solar energy (including monitoring system). Task 2: Perform a technical ‘assessment for the potential power useage on the student housing and design the mechanical and electrical system to incorporate solar energy (including monitoring system). Task 3: Design solar systems with modifications necessary to maximize effectiveness in Nome, Alaska environment. Task 4: Order entire materials and equipment, package into appropriate containers and ship to Nome Task 5: Construct and install solar energy system on to the facilities. Task 6: Track and monitor energy effiencies. Budget and Timeline: Design and construction will take 12 months. Solar heating systems can be used to offset the demand of large amounts of fuel consumed year around for heating and even domestic hot water, so using the sun to heat water even for half a year will save significant amount of energy. Solar |. energy collection systems increase in effectiveness and lower in costs during the past decade while costs of fossil fueled heating and electricity generation continutes to rise. This is a very timely project.

Since the demise of the large pulp mills and the dramatic down turn of the forest products industry in Southeast, we have been building a mill along with a value-added remanufacturing facility. To date we have a 56” headrig circle saw, several edgers, trimmer, bandsaw resaws, and a 4 sided planer. Our mill employs 20 people in various jobs 10 to 11 months each year. Our sawing capacity is 2 to 3 million board feet per year. We have also installed a dry kiln, a high quality moulder, and several dry product storage buildings. We are able to produce very nice quality products. Some of the products are dimensional lumber, large timbers, timber frame components, shaped log cabin logs, various styles of siding, decking, t&g decking, various styles of interior t&g paneling, crown molding, various trim, and picture frame stock. To accomplish the value-added products we have the dry kiln which came with a diesel fired boiler: You can imagine the expense this creates. We have recently installed a wood fired boiler and are striving to burn shavings and sawdust from the mill and planer. At this time we are about 10% effective. We still must run the diesel boiler. We need a much better way to capture the wood waste and transfer it to our wood boiler. We could be saving enormous amounts of energy. We need to upgrade by installing a smaller wood chipper along with the screening, shaking, transfer conveyors and dry wood chip storage. We also need some engineering to bring this project together in the most efficient way. We have some of the equipment needed for the project. We must do a considerable amount of reconditioning to this equipment. The following is a list of things needed to be accomplished: engineer a project layout. purchase and install appropriate wood-waste conveyors and shaker into a 60" wood chipper. recondition a 60 inch chipper on site. recondition a chip shaker screen on site. purchase and install appropriate chip transfer conveyors to wood fired boiler fuel storage. build and enclose a wood fuel storage building. purchase and install appropriate wood fuel conveyors and controls to the boiler metering bin. NOARONS There are future potentials in utilizing wood waste. If the technology is available appropriate for our volumes of wood, electricity could be generated through co-generation to operate the sawmill and feed electricity into the City of Hoonah power grid.

City Shop). The wind turbine would be situated 300-500 feet away from the City Shop building. Initial estimates indicate that a 100 kW wind turbine has the potential to provide up to 2/3 of the amount of power used by the City Shop in a year (370,640 kWh). Net metering might prove useful. City Shop location north of town ideal to take advantage of Bethel's strong northeast winds.

The City established an administrative committee called, The Alternative Energy Committee, that has held monthly meetings since November 2005. The Committee recommended to the City Manager that the City Shop Project be pursued. Bethel City Council passed Resolution #05-42 and Resolution #06-06 "Supporting the preparation and submission of a grant application to the Alaska Energy Authority for the Purchase and Installation of a Small Commercial Wind Turbine." ~ The City Shop Project offers many benefits. The wind turbine represents an invaluable "first" for the community of Bethel that will allow the City to learn how to install, operate, and maintain it. Yute Elitnaurviat, the adult vocational school in Bethel, could use the turbine as a training tool for courses for individuals to be wind energy technicians. If grant-funded, the project has the potential to save the City money that it would normally pay in electric bills. The project will allow for cleaner air because Bethel Utilities Corporation (BUC) will not have to burn so much diesel to make electricity, nor will they have to purchase as much diesel. The size of the trubine is small enough to not impact the efficient operation of the diesel generators at BUC. If the wind turbine purchased is a Northwind 100, it will allow for easier trouble-shooting, |" repairs, and parts conformity because the villages of Kasigluk and Toksook Bay each have three Northwind 100s operating and the village of Chevak has several more coming online. If the City pursues a wastewater treatment plant near the sewage lagoons as planned, the plant's high power demand would beget the purchase and installation of more wind turbines in the same vicinity. The City of Bethel's Property Maintenance Division will perform the routine maintenance necessary to keep the wind turbine operational. The proximity of the turbine to the City Shop will make it easy for the crew to access the tower for mainenance, replacing parts, and de-icing the propellers. The Shop or nearby City Recycling Center could be a place where wind trubine parts, manuals, lubricants, and other maintenance supplies are stored for-use by AVEC and others who install and operate wind turbines in the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta region. There are many features of the project that are.conducive to wind energy development. The City Shop is. situated on a large sand pad, which can easily be expanded to accommodate the wind turbine foundation. The turbine will be enclosed inside the Public Works fenced area, providing security and safety. The City Shop uses a sufficient amount of power (370,640 kWh per year) to justify a 100 kW to 150 kW wind turbine. The site is located north of nearly all housing and commercial development in Bethel, minimizing the chance of public discomfort due to noise or visual obscurity caused by the turbine once installed. The City owns a Sarge contiguous portion of land on which sits the City Shop, the two large sewer lagoons, and the City's 17-acre landfill. Private developers have little incentive to develop land near the sewer lagoons and landfill, thereby reducing the liklihood of wind distortion caused by objects constructed on land. The wind trubine would be positioned to benefit from the strong winter wind which comes from the north and northeast. The Public Works Department owns and operates heavy equipment that can be used as an in-kind donation to project installation. The computer panel monitoring wind turbine performance can placed inside the City Shop and viewed on a daily basis. The noise of the wind turbine will not be any louder than the noise already present in and around the Shop-as water and sewer evacuation trucks are running, other heavy equipment running, and use of generators and other shop equipment. The location of the City Shop is at the opposite end of town from the airport, clearing the way for FAA approval. Avian” interactions with the wind trubine are expected to be minimal. Ravens and seagulls visit the landfill, but very few endangered species pass through Bethel in numbers large enough to concern the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The proximity of the wind turbine to the electric utility grid makes it convenient to send excess power into the grid and benefit from any remuneration therefrom. Mia Devine, former statistician with Alaska Energy Authority, said that-the Bethel area has better wind development potential than Kotzebue, and Kotzebue Electric Association has been very successful developing the wind energy in Kotzebue. 105 - Statement of Interest In Developing an Alaskan Alternative-Renewable Energy or Energy Efficiency Project «> ALASKA pa riz ENERGY AUTHORITY Project Title: Reynolds Creek Hydroelectric’ Project Organization: Haida Corporation Phone Number: 907-285-3721 Fax: 907-285-3944 Contact Name: Vincent Jameson Address: PO Box 89 City: Hydaburg State: AK Zip Code: 99922 Email: vjameson@excite.com Instructions: Complete. the information requested on this page.

The Project will utilitize Lake Mellen for much of its storage capacity, thus minimizing the need for impoundment dams and structures. The average annual energy of 19.3 GWh will be sold by the owner (the Haida Corporation) on a wholesale basis to Alaska Power Company and displace the increasing need for diesel generation on the island.

The combined load of this interconnection system has allowed two hydroelectric resoyrces (Black Bear Lake and South Fork) to be constructed and provide power at a delivered rate significantly less than that associated with diesel-fired generation. Since the construction of these two hydro resources by Alaska Power Company ("APC"), loads within the interconnected system have grown to levels such that diesel generation must now be used for a significant portion of the load. The Reynolds Creek Project will address several areas of concern regarding power supply on the island. 4. Output'from the Project will displace higher-cost diesel generation now used to meet part of the load. 2. Expansion of the hydro system will provide a cost-effective power supply that will assist existing area businesses, such as the new fish processing facility recently established in Craig, and will attract new business ventures such as the Niblack mine now performing exploratory work in the area. 3. Replace diesel generation with " green energy," lowering toxic air and greenhouse gas emissions and the United States! dependence on oil. 4. Improve electrical system reliablity and operational flexibility on the island. The Haida Corporation (the "Corporation"), a Native Village Corporation located in Hydaburg, was granted a license by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC") that allows the Corporation the right to construct, own, and operate the Project. A Corps of Engineers Permit and Fish Habitat Permit have also been obtained. The Project was found to be consistent with the Alaska CZMA Program by the ADGC. The Corporation has completed a number of pre-development | * activities and continues to work toward the goal of initiating construction in 2008. Work that has been completed includes: 4. Preliminary engineering and design activities required for the FERC license application. 2. Completion of an economic and financial analysis of the Project. 3. Discussions with APC regarding a wholesale Power Sales Agreement. A Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU" is being developed with APC and will form the basis of the final Power Sales Agreement. Prior to initiating construction, the following tasks will be completed: 1. Negotiation of a Power Sales Agreement between the Corporation and APC. 2. Negotiation of a Land Lease Agreement with the Sealaska Corporation for portions of the ‘Project that traverse Sealaska land. 3. Preparation of several plans to comply with the FERC license (monitoring, finance, etc.) 4. Initiation and completion of final design of the Project. 5. Securing the water rights for the Project and obtaining an easement from ADNR for the transmission line's crossing of Hetta Inlet. 6. Securing financial assitance as required (low-cost loans, grants, etc.) While the analysis’ recently performed shows: the Project is clearly economic over its expected life as compared to continued reliance on diesel generation, the capital costs may cause annual Project casts to be higher than the diesel alternative during the early years. This characteristic of high capital/low operating costs is quite common with hydroelectric resources. Accordingly, the Corporation is seeking financial assistance for the Project. As a regulated utility, it is expected that APC will pass its costs of purchasing Reynolds Creek Project power directly through to the ratepayers. Consequently, any financial assistance would be passed through to the ratepayers in the form of lower rates. Note 1 to Construction Cast Total: This does not include the $1.5 - 2.0-million that the Corporation has already spent of its own money in preliminary studies and FERC licensing and State permitting activiites. _ Statement of Interest In Developing an Alaskan Alternative-Renewable Energy or Energy Efficiency Project f= ALASKA WEES: ENERGY AUTHORITY Project Title: Feasibility of Wind Generation, Solar ‘Photovoltaics, and Economic ‘Dispatch i in | Alaska Rural Village Poweiy Organization: ° University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) ~ Contact Name: Richard Wies Phone Number |+1 (907) 474-7071 Address: |po Box 755915 | Fax Number | +1 (907) 474-5135 | ||Zip Code: 99775-5915 | |] Email: [frwmeuatedu wn ot a o ® TS wz City: Fairbanks Instructions: Complete the information requested on this page.

The integration of renewable power sources with standalone diesel electric generators (DEGs) in rural Alaska communities combined with optimizing the dispatch of all generation sources to serve the load (economic dispatch) could | substantially reduce the cost of electricity (COE) by reducing fuel consumption, increasing the efficiency of the overall system, reducing emissions, reducing maintenance costs and improving system reliability. 2) This project investigates the economic feasibility of integrating wind-turbine generators (WTGs), photovoltaics (PV), and economic dispatch contral systems into rural Alaska village power systems. The specific goals of this project are: | A) Upgrade a performance assessment tool called the Hybrid Arctic Remote Power Simulator (HARPSim) to estimate the reduction | in fuel consumption of DEGs and the minimization in the COE in the rural Alaska communities of by integrating WTGs, solar PV, and economic dispatch into the system. HARPSim is used to predict the long-term energy-based economic and environmental performance of the system with and without the use of renewable sources in combination with the DEGs and the installation of lan economic dispatch controller, switchgear, or SCADA system. The energy-based ecdnomic and environmental model consists of, DEG(s), a battery storage bank, and renewable sources connected to a common grid to form the distributed generation (DG) or hybrid system. A battery bank is included in the system to serve as a backup and a buffer/storage interface between the DEGs and | the renewable power sources from solar PVand WTGs. The economic part of the model calculates the total fuel consumption, the total cost of fuel, the engine efficiency, and the kW-hr/liter of fuel. The environmental part.of the model calculates the i quantity of different air pollutants like the CO2, NOx, and the particulate matter (PM10). An extension of the economic part of the | model calculates the Life Cycle Cost (LCC), net present value (NPV), and payback period for the system. A sensitivity analysis of fuel cast and investment rate on the COE is also performed to illustrate the impact of rising fuel costs on the long-term system | economics. ' | B) Demonstrate HARPSim on the 125kW series 50 Detroit DEG at the UAF Energy Center and the micro-hybrid-‘energy system at, the Cold Climate Housing Research Center Research Test Facility both located on the UAF campus. - i C) Analyze the available information and data from Kongiganak and Buckland, Alaska power systems in order to ascertain the energy, economic and environmental profile of each system. Use HARPSim to predict the increase in efficiency and the reduction in fuel consumption, LCC, and pollutant levels by incorporating renewable energy sources and economic dispatch into these systems. : D) Issue a report with recommendations on the economic feasibility of integrating WTGs, solar PV, and economic dispatch systems into the power systems of the rural Alaska villages of Kongiganak and Buckland, Alaska. 3) HARPSim can be used for long term economic and environmental performance analysis of integrating renewable-sources in combination with DEGs and the installation of an economic dispatch controller, switchgear, or SCADA system into any standalone Alaska rural village power system and can be easily extended to include other renewable energy sources such as biomass and geothermal. Results ftom this feasibility study can be used to assess the viability of implementing renewable energy sources and @conomic dispatch (SCADA) systems in all Alaska rural villages and lead to future implementation of these systems. 4) The workplan involves upgrading and then using the upgraded version ofa performance assessment tool called HARPSim to study the economic feasibility of integrating renewable energy sources (WTGs and solar PV) in combination with DEGs and the i installation of an economic dispatch controller, switchgear, or SCADA system for reducing the COE by reducing fuel consumption, | increasing the efficiency of the overall system, reducing emissions, reducing maintenance costs and i improving system reliability of Alaska rural village power systems. 5) The work leading up to the current stage of development of HARPSim has been largely funded by the USDOE Arctic Energy av Technology and Development Laboratory as part of a cooperative agreement with UAF under DE-FC26-01NT41248 Project: 1.03.1 Effects of Village Power Quality on Fuel Consumption and Operating Expenses. Tasks on this project included obtaining data from remote monitoring switchgear installed in 25 villages by AEA using Denali Commission funds. The total budget for the currently funded project is $371.4k with 20% match ($90k) coming from UAF and AEA with $35k remaining in the I budget. Any new funds from the Denali Commission would be used largely for feasibility studies of integrating.renewable energy | sources into specific rural Alaska villages and extending the functionality of HARPSim to incorporate additional renewable energy | |sources. | would be able to obtain an additional 4 weeks of UAF salary match for the proposed project.

This proposal expands this project to construct wind diesel systems in Kongiganak, Kwigillingok, and Tuntutuliak and to create a regional service center. The three village regional project cost is $5.5 million. Puvurnaq’s state funds and $500,000 in private funds would be combined with $3.5 milllion in Denali Commission Funding.. Combined project funds would be sufficient to purchase a good used rough service crane, spare parts and other equipment.needed to construct foundations and service regional wind projects. $100,000 would be used to a create a training and business plan for a regional support center in Kongiganak. Each village installation would be similar and consist of three 65 kW wind turbines, control and communications upgrades, modification of selected diesel generators for low load operation, extension of power and communications lines, board walks to provide access to each wind site, and fast acting energy recovery systems to capture excess: wind energy and provide grid stability. Combining projects reduces engineering, administrative, logistics, and operations and maintenance training and support costs. A combined project enables the purchase of specialized equipment and the development of construction, training and managemient experience. 9 turbines would provide sufficient revenues to support a regional maintenance position. Analysis of the wind resource in Kongiganak, which is representative for communities in this region, indicates, that these systems can displace 35+% of the fuel used to generate electricity and 20% of the. fuel used to heat the school. Additional wind turbines can be added to the system to offset as much as 50% of the fuel the community now uses for electricity and heat. Annual savings in each village is estimated to exceed of 40000 gallons of diesel fuel and $130,000. The village of Kongiganak is centrally located to the Kuskokwim delta and each community has much of the equipment needed to support this level of construction. This equipment includes; welders, forklift, loaders, excavators, a maniift, portable generators, nodwell transport trailers, outdoor lighting, portable fuel tanks, pumps, hand tools and hydraulic repair equipment. The crane and foundation installation equipment would be purchased under this program, and can travel overland in winter and by barge in the summer to other communiites throughout the region. The service center would share resources with Puvurnag Power and the Coastal Villages Regions Fund fisheries support centers, which are well equipped for wind turbine maintenance. The regional project could be extended to other candidate communities such as Kipnuk, Cherfornak, Napakiak, Atmautiuak, Newtok, Quinahagak, Eek and Bethel. These projects can also’ benefit from the airport construction projects which are currently underway, 2007-2009. muy ure vieup VV HINCAD EE AENUT CaN, Statement of Interest In Developing an Alaskan Alternative-Renewable Energy or Energy Efficiency Project @E— ENERGY AUTHORITY ut wuuruet wee ALASKA Project Title: Chaninik Wind Group Regional Wind Project and Support Center Organization: Chaninik Wind Group Contact Name: William Igkurak, President Phone Number: 907-588-8626 Address: Kwig Power Company P.O.

This proposal expands this project to construct wind diesel systems in Kongiganak, Kwigillingok, and Tuntutuliak and to create a regional service center. The three village regional project cost is $5.5 million. Puvurnaq’s state funds and $500,000 in private funds would be combined with $3.5 million in Denali Commission Funding.. Combined project funds would be sufficient to purchase a good used rough service crane, spare parts and other equipment needed to construct foundations and service regional wind projects. $100,000 would be used to a create a training and. business plan for a regional support center in Kangiganak. Each village installation would be similar and consist of three 65 kW wind turbines, control and communications upgrades, modification of selected diesel generators for low load operation, extension of power and communications lines, board walks to provide access to each wind site, and fast acting energy recovery systems to capture excess wind energy and provide grid stability. Combining projects reduces engineering, administrative, logistics, and operations and maintenance training and support costs. A combined project enables the purchase of specialized equipment and the development of construction, training and management experience. 9 turbines would provide sufficient revenues to support a regional maintenance position, Analysis of the wind resource in Kongiganak, which is representative for communities in this region, indicates, that these systems can displace 35+% of the fuel used to generate eleciricity and 20% of the fuel used to heat the school, Additional wind turbines can be added to the system to offset as much as 50% of the fuel the community now uses for electricity and heat. Annual savings in each village is estimated to exceed of 40000 gallons of diesel fuel and $130,000. The village of Kongiganak is centrally located to the Kuskokwim delta and each community has much of the equipment needed to support this level of construction. This equipment includes; welders, forklift, loaders, excavators, a manlift, portable generators, nodwell transport trailers, outdoor lighting, portable fuel tanks, pumps, hand tools and hydraulic repair equipment. The crane and foundation installation equipment would be purchased under this program, and can travel overland in winter and by barge in the summer to other communiites throughout the region. The service center would share resources with Puvurnag Power and the Coastal Villages Regions Fund fisheries support centers, which are well equipped for wind turbine maintenance. The regional project could be extended to other candidate communities such as Kipnuk, Cherfornak, Napakiak, Atmautluak, Newtok, Quinahagak, Eek and Bethel. These projects can also benefit from the airport construction projects which are currently underway, 2007-2009.

This plant would produce residential size wood pellets to be used in industrial, commercial and residential applications providing an alternative renewable energy source. To complete the feasibility study other aspects would need to be accomplished that would also benefit the community. Such as an Interior forest inventory update. This inventory update will play a crucial role in gaining knowledge on the sustainability of a raw material source for this value added product. Once the inventory update is complete and it is found that a sustainable raw material source is available the feasibility study must also encompass a state wide market survey on wood biomass fuel usage and interest. This survey should question community members on their current heating systems (primary and secondary), current annual cost, system upgrades, the use of wood biomass for heating, the interest in utilizing pellet fuel for heating and their interest in utilizing a heating source that would be better for the’ environment. The completed feasibility study including the project costs, problems and opportunities, objectives, situations, an accurate assessment of the cost/benefit and project viability would provide accurate recommendations and limitations of this project. Upon the completion of the feasibility study if it is recommended that a pellet pant be built in Fairbanks or surrounding area FEDC would continue to push this project on to phase two. However, if the feasibility study determined that a pellet fuel plant was not viable in Fairbanks FEDC would utilize the information gathered and presented in the feasibility study to venture in to other avenues available for utilizing woody biomass as a renewable alternative fuel source (such as chipping, wood oil, various types of biomass fuel for heat or electric generation, etc.) Phase two would involve the development of a pellet plant business plan. This business plan would be used to approach interested companies, industries and individuals about the opportunity Fairbanks, Alaska has to offer. FEDC would work with various community and state entities along with the interested party with the steps to develop pellet fuel as a value added product in our community for our community. The basis of the business plan would be to provide a value added product (pellet fuel) to our Alaskan’communities and rural areas as an alternative fuel source with the potential to develop an exportable product grown, produced and shipped from Alaska to other states and possibly countries. Once ar interested party was secured FEDC would continue onto phase three. Phase three would be to pass the Pellet Fuel Plant project onto the interested investor while maintaining an active role allowing FEDC to help steer the interested party in the direction that offers the value added product and production process that benefits our community: FEDC would support the interested party by offering to help with design costs and other issues and aspects as needed. Upon the completion of a pellet producing fuel plant in Fairbanks, Alaska FEDC would move onto phase four. Phase four would be to analyze the benefit that was brought to our community. The basic pellet plant would be a minimum of a seven million dollar investment, bringing at least 10 jobs (both management and skill trade).to our community. It would produce a product that if sold for $4.98 cents a bag would be in direct cost comparison to number two heating oil (based on cost and BTU comparison). The renewable alternative fuel would utilize local natural resources (raw material waste, fire mitigated wood and state timber sales) while creating a value added product for use in our state that would no longer have to be. imported from the lower 48 or Canada. The Pellet Fuel Project, utilizing woody biomass, is of high priority to the Fairbanks community. To date FEDC has worked to support the completion of.an updated Interior forest inventory, completed the Fairbanks portion of a consumer market survey, secured funding to complete a state wide consumer market survey and drawn the interest of a local state company interested in building a plant in Fairbanks. To accomplish the project FEDC would need further funding that would support and pay the salary for a project manager to facilitate the Pellet Fuel Plant project from phase one until the completion of the plant (phase four), funding to complete a feasibility study (hire a contractor with specific experience) and funding to have a pellet plant business plan developed.

Become an Alaska deliverer of Manufactured products Currently in development: A feasability study, Business plan and a Quality Plumbing and Pipefitting Apprenticeship Training Program. Research is being done and personnel resumes collected to establish human resource list for operation of this project. Research is in development for beginning a Profit and Non-Profit company. Brief Statement of Work Plan Inupiaq Plumbing & Pipefitting (IPP) will be a plumbing training, plumbing services and boiler manufacturing business. Training and services may be based in Galena at the closed Air Force base or in the Bristol Bay region.. The multueted boiler manufacturing business and administrative office will be located in Anchorage. There is a lack of qualified plumbers in rural Alaska to provide the needed services. Nome, for example, only has one licensed plumber serving the population of 14,000 in Nome and outlying communities. Additionally, there are few Native plumbers and Native plumbing companies to provide services in rural and urban Alaska. To satisfy the strong need for qualified Native plumbers, IPP will establish and operate an apprenticeship training program at the Galena Air Base. The need for plumbing apprentices is strong and will continue to grow as mining projects, the gas line and existing workers retire. There are about 300 — 500 people currently on the waiting list to go through apprenticeship training programs in Alaska. We believe that a rural-based Native-oriented training program would attract many additional recruits that have not even signed up on the waiting list. These apprentices would be more likely to go back to their communities and work after graduating. The multi-fuel boiler manufacturing business will make boilers that are capable of accepting a variety of fuel sources, such as driftwood, coal, manufactured wood pellets, and other combustible alternative energy sources. The boilers will have an electrical standby system. The training program will certify apprentices to install and service these boilers. This project increases the ability for people to be self-sufficient in their own community. It also furthers the tradition of using your skills to help others in the community. Finally, the multi-fuel boilers will increase the use of locally supplied fuels, which reduces reliance on outside suppliers. These elements of self-sufficiency and supporting the community using local resources are important parts of our culture. We are just doing it in a modern way. There will be four primary cash infusions into rural Alaska as a result of this company. First, workforce training funds will be spent in rural Alaska. Second, plumbing services contracts in rural Alaska will be awarded to a rural Alaska company, instead of urban companies. Third, trained high paying plumbers will be recruited from rural Alaska. Fourth, heating costs in rural Alaska will be réduced because of the use of alternative fuels in the multi-fuel boilers. The training program will provide desperately needed economic activity in Galena, which has recently lost employment due to the base closure. Several. people will be hired to operate the training center (6 in year one, 21 in year two,.31 in year 3). State and federal training funds will be channeled directly into rural Alaska where the money will stimulate the local economy. The graduates will be very employable in their communities and throughout rural Alaska, where they will provide services locally that were previously imported from urban areas. The plumbing and pipefitting services division will be a Native-owned competitive full service plumbing company that will obtain contracts in rural and urban Alaska. The employees will likely be based in rural Alaska, where they will return to’ their homes between jobs and spend their paychecks. The boiler manufacturing division will bring down the cost of living for residents in rural Alaska due to the reduced use of electricity and fuel. This will be an attractive selling point to the housing authorities. There are three innovative points in this project. The first is a Native-owned training program. The second is a multi-fuel boiler to reduce energy cosis. The third is to bring training, services, and manufacturing together under one Stagement of Interest in Developing an Alaska eer Alternative-Renewable Energy or Energy Efftiency Project KA HORITY — —- =" — ——| —: _ aac epee mae Project Title; White Mountain Energy Efficiency Improvemedf d Planning Organization: City of White Mountain Contact Name: Tom Gray, Nara Douglal, Amy Titus me Number {+1 (P07} 638-3411 Address: |P.0.Box 130 Number +1 (907) 638-3421 vers te Se ; T ae = we - City: White Mountain ‘|State: |AK Ip Code: (99784 ail: |wmocitydac fet ——— Instructions: Complete the information requested|hn this page.

Many of these projects have space available for the installation of additional wind generation capacity: Significant additional fuel savings can be realized if high levels of penetration can be maintained or if the wind generation output will allow the system to operate with the diesel generator sets completely shut down as opposed to idling at low output levels. One Alaska operator, TDX, successfully operates a non-utility connected high penetration system in the rural community of St. Paul, where the electrical load consists of industrial scale space and process water heating. Additionally, AVEC and Kotzebue Electric have jointly operated a high penetration wind diesel project in the village of Wales that has provided a significant learning experience for this technology. . This project would identify current and planned AVEC systems that would be candidates for high penetration wind projects. Two key factors in the success of this project will be to identify specific energy bridging technologies that will provide supplemental energy to the system as the wind resource fluctuates, and communication and contro! technologies ‘that will allow the systems to be remotely supported. .-The bridging téchnologies to be considered would include battery -storage (both conventional lead acid as well as advanced types), flywheel energy storage, or ultra capacitor storage technology, and possibly diesels capable of operating at lower levels of output than what is currently deployed. In addition to assessment of available technologies, it will be necessary to identify those sites that have space required for project development, a high-level of local operating expertise, reliability of the bridging technology to be deployed, and confirmation that the control and communication technologies fo be installed will meet the design intent of the project. AVEC sites currently identified as candidates for this type of project include the villages of Gambell,. St. Marys- Pile? Station-Mt. Village, Mekoryuk, and others with sufficient wind resources.

Organization: Phone: Email: Name: Organization: Phone: Email: 120 Project Title: Heat Recovery for Power Generation Feasibility Study Organization: Alaska Village Electric Cooperative Detailed Project Statement: This project would examine the feasibility of recovering waste heat generated by the combustion of fossil fuels through the use of an Organic Rankine Cycle or ORC, extracting energy from the hot fluid in the form of mechanical work and. then using outside air or water temperature to condense the working fluid. Diesel power plants reject approximately 1/3 of the heat equivalent of the fuel burned to the jacket cooling water system. More recently, the progression to high efficiency turbocharged and electronic fuel injected engines has reduced the amount of heat lost. Even with these improvements, additional heat is still rejected by the turbocharger, aftercooler and in the exhaust system of the engine. A liquid to liquid heat exchanger is sometimes used to remove heat from the jacket cooling system and provide this energy to an end user for space heating. In many cases, this type of system requires extensive piping systems, pumps utilizing variable speed drives, extensive instrumentation to calculate the rate and total amount of heat transferred, and dedicated controls and enclosures, resulting in a system that is too complex to be economically viable for the amount of heat transferred to an end user. Advances in refrigerants have enabled the development of ORCs that use waste heat to drive small turbines in combined cycle power generation, thus increasing the overall efficiency of a system. In the Basin Electric Service Area in North Dakota, heat that has been captured as a byproduct of industrial scale gas compression is used to power an ORMAT ORC generator. This system is capable of producing 4-7 MW of additional power at each compressor station for the system operator. The ORC system installed at Chena Hot Springs is a good example of this technology in Alaska, where hot water from geothermal springs transfers heat to the working fluid that drives a 200 kW turbine generator set. This project would evaluate the use of recovered heat from AVEC's larger power plants for additional combined cycle power generation. The main advantage of this type system of is that it would capture a higher percentage’ of the fuel's heating value and provide it as electrical energy, which is more easily transferred to an end user. This project would include the procurement and installation of at least one 25 kW or larger turbine generator set at one of the larger AVEC facilities to gather performance data on such a system and evaluate its potential for use in other facilities.

Organization: Alaska Village Electric Cooperative Detailed Project Statement: Space heating requirements account for the bulk of fuel consumption in rural Alaska villages. Where possible, recovered heat from a powerplant, wood-fired district heating, or secondary electric heating energy derived from excess wind or hydro power generation are-used to displace the use of heating fuel. This project would determine the feasibility of using advanced heat pump technology to provide space heat from locally available water bodies as the high temperature reservoir. In the last ten years, significant advances have been made in the development of refrigerants used in heat pumps as replacements for freon and other ozone depleting elements. The Carrier Corporation, a division of United Technologies, now has commercial and residential scale water source heat pumps that use ground water as the heat source. Alaska and AVEC both have many villages that are located adjacent to rivers, lakes or the coast that remain ice free or have large amounts of unfrozen water, even during the winter season. This project would evaluate the feasibility of utilizing modern heat pump technology utilizing a closed loop system submerged in a water body. The project would determine a threshhold level of electricity and fuel prices that would make this type. of heat capture feasible in rural areas.

The high and increasing cost of fuel threatens the well-being and economic future of our region. Most negatively impacted are communities without barge service, who have to ship in their fuel by air. But as time goes on, even barge delivery will be very costly. Previous attempts to pursue hydro power in the Kobuk River have been blocked by understandable ’ concerns about the impact of such a large project on the returning fish harvested by many residents for subsistence food. With the development in technology of mini and micro hydro projects, using this renewable resource becomes more- feasible. Assessment of this hydro power resource and if warranted, a subsequent feasibility study would help determine the viability (will it be less expensive over the long-term than flying in fuel by air?) of bringing this energy resource into long-term, sustainable (affordable) production.. Of course, after 9-11, we realized that no matter the cost, if fuel can't be flown-in due to weather or other reason, then alternative, renewable sources were critical to our survival. e List the program objectives. Determine viability of pursuing geveropmient of mini or micro hydro power. . Ultimately, decrease dependency on imported fuel, especially expensive and increasingly more expensive fuel. Diversify our energy sources to become more energy self-sufficient and lower the cost of energy especially in upriver villages which often do not receive barge service. Produce clean, renewable energy for upriver villages. Ideally extend to other villages. — The village of Kobuk currently has no local power generation system for the community. Their electricity comes from feeder lines from Shungnak, the next village downriver. This situation makes Kobuk community very vulnerable to power outages over which it has no control and has impeded economic development. Micro hydro power would help alleviate that situation. e What will be the impact to Alaska if this project is successful? That is, can the project be extended to other locations or applications? If resource assessment is positive and warrants pursuit of feasibility study, it could lead to successful development of this alternative, renewable energy. It would-produce sustainable hydro power for the 3 villages upriver (Kobuk, Shungnak, Ambler) and nearby communities. Of course, the benefits and lessons of this experience would be used toward potential hydro projects in other villages with similar hydro resources, within and outside our region, especially those without barge service. e Give a brief statement of your work plan. a. In September, borough staff will accompany Bruce Tiedeman upriver to Kogoluktuk Falls to begin assessment of hydro resource. b. With guidance from Mr. Tiedeman, determine if further assessment and feasibility study are warranted. And if so, pursue those projects toward potential development and production of hydro power. c. This would include upgrades to existing power supply system, etc. d. At this point, we have no cost estimates besides the borough's staff time and travel which we will cover.

Approximately 8% of the electric needs are now from wind. KEA is working towards 3-4 megawatts of wind generation capacity which would enough to meet the electricity needs of the community at peak load (times of highest electricity use). While Alaska has excellent coastal wind resources, erecting higher capacity turbines on the land is not possible due to the need for heavy equipment, difficulties with permafrost, and shipping constraints. Offshore turbines could solve many of these problems. The next large goal for Kotzebue’s Wind Farm will be the installation of four 1.5 megawatt General Electric turbines. ~ \ject Cost Estimate & Schedule Duration of Activity Type of Project under Consideration (months) a) Design Costs na | Bl Alternative Energy Energy Efficiency b) Land, Right-of-way n/a | Feasibility Ei Resource Assessment c) Administration 200,000 Design Prototype d) Construction na | a Construction Operations e) Equipment 9,000,000 Other (describe) f) Other TOTAL 9,200,000 Other Participants 907-442-2500 Siikauraq Martha Whiting Northwest Arctic Borough aalvite@nwabor.org Marie Greene NANA Regional Corp 907-442-3301 marie.greene@nana.com Dean Westlake City of Kotzebue 907-442-3401 cityplanner@otz.net Project Title: Kotzebue Off Shore Wind Development Organization: Kotzebue Electric Association Detailed Project Statement: Project Summary This arctic wind power project is owned and operated by the Kotzebue Electric Association (KEA). The project was developed by KEA with funding support from the U.S. Department of Energy and the Alaska Energy Authority. The Electric Power Research Institute and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory also provide assistance through KEA's involvement in the Wind Turbine Verification Program. Through its ongoing development program, KEA expects to eventually increase its wind generating capacity to 3-4 MW. In addition to expanding their own wind project, KEA plans to use their knowledge and experience to support the development of village wind projects in numerous locations throughout Northwest Alaska. In 2000, KEA completed the development of a multi-agency funded wind project located on the western tip of the Seward Peninsula in the village of Wales. KEA is currently discussing potential wind power projects with several other villages. KEA's wind farm now consists of seventeen turbines which collectively has an installed capacity of 1.14 MW. The © potential size of the farm is limited, in part, by permafrost, heavy equipment needs, and shipping issues. Offshore development is an attractive alternative. Offshore turbines would enable coastal communities, such as Kotzebue, to install 1.5 MW turbines instead of the more standard 66kW Integrity turbines. Strategic Objectives The objectives of the KEA Wind Program are as follows: (1) to test and verify wind generation technology applications in wind/diesel hybrid systems and to provide system performance/cost data, (2) to maximize the reduction in consumption of diesel fuel by KEA through the use of wind power generation, (3) to develop a cold-weather wind turbine test site which will be available to DOE and the U.S. wind industry to develop advanced turbine designs, (4) to provide educational outreach activities for the general public in Alaska and for operators who will be trained to operate the hybrid wind/diesel power plants, and (5) to provide a basis for the evaluation of wind power system applications in the numerous power plants serving remote, non-grid-connected Alaska villages. Potential Impact Construction will be started only after rigorous studies have been performed and the appropriate permits received to ensure minimal environmental impact and the utmost in safety. Methods The phases of KEA’s Offshore Wind Program will be as follows: (1) DESIGN- Turbine selection, environmental evaluation, and resource assessment (2) LAND ELECTRIC- Road and transmission line construction (3) OFFSHORE ELECTRIC- Cables placed using hydro-plow techniques which have minimal impact to ocean floor. Install electrical service platform which acts as a junction box for the turbines. (4) WIND FARM DEVELOPMENT- Construct monopole foundation. Erect Turbines. Pertinent Information General Electric’s 1.5 MW turbines are estimated to cost approximately $1,500,000 per turbine. Additional major costs to this project will include the foundation costs, undersea cable costs, transmission construction costs, and possible energy storage costs. Four turbines will run $6,000,000 which leaves $3,000,000 for additional installation costs. A more detailed budget can be provided upon request.

Utilizing an energy storage device, such as a Vanadium Red-Ox Flow Battery (VRXFB), would enable an irregular energy source such as wind power, to be stored and then supplied during periods of peak power. VRXFB have reportedly been used in various applications since 2001, however there has not been a project which can analyze the effects of a VRXFB in a micro-grid. A VRXFB has direct application in many of Alaska’s remote and insolated grid systems. There is a need for this technology in larger grid connected environments such as Alaska’s Rail Belt. Batteries offer power stabilization, load leveling from renewable energy, and can help manage power transmission line loads. The Kotzebue installation will “ fuce peak power load by fifteen percent and by installing high speed data acquisition systems we will be able to " __oroughly understand the system dynamics and responsiveness of a wind-battery-diesel hybrid power plant.

The success of a community’s economy is well known to be linked to the availability of affordable . energy. As the cost of oil rises, many communities such as Kotzebue, Alaska, are placed at risk and are quickly losing economic viability. KEA installed the first wind turbine in Alaska in 1997 and since-then has continued to search out new and improved methods of reducing the high cost of electricity while maintaining/improving reliability of power. : Strategic Objectives Goal: To successfully install, demonstrate, and integrate a 2MWh Vanadium Red-Ox Flow Battery - (VRXFB) into an existing micro-grid environment thereby achieving a fifteen percent reduction in diesel based peak power. SO 1: To successfully procure, install, and demonstrate a VRXFB energy storage system in both a low and high penetration wind-diesel power plant. SO 2: To determine if a VRXFB is an effective method of increasing efficiency, reliability, and security on an electric grid. SO 3: To achieve a fifteen percent reduction in power that previously was supplied by diesel generators by increasing the availability of wind power during peak load periods using the Me energy storage system. SO 4: To verify the performance and measure the system dynamics of a VRXFB as a stabilizer for a wind-battery-diesel hybrid system.in a micro-grid environment. Methods The methods to be employed are typical of the research, development, and demonstration of new technology. It will include undertaking an in depth analysis of KEA’s existing wind-diesel hybrid system and modeling of the potential system dynamics after installation of a Vanadium Red-Ox Flow Battery. Industry based standards will be utilized during installation and initial operations. Data will be collected in conjunction with. the University of Alaska, Fairbanks using a high speed data acquisition to capture dynamic response. During. j © the two year product demonstration, data will be continuously analyzed and reports written to make the results available to the public. Potential Impact (Benefits/Outcomes) The National Renewable Energy Laboratory’s HOMER software modeled and optimized a system for Kotzebue showing that a VRXFB could displace 102,000 gallons a year of diesel fuel and reduces CO2 emissions by 1,000 metric tones a year. A fifteen percent reduction in diesel fueled peak power will directly lower the cost of electricity generation. In addition, it will decrease Kotzebue’s dependence on the State of Alaska’s Power Cost Equalization program. Verification of the technical viability of a VRXFB is needed to enable larger grid connected environments in the United States to _ effectively address load leveling with renewable energy and power stabilization on the grid. - Major Participants Project Director/Principal Kotzebue Electric Association Investigator Participants .

Studies done on the presence of geothermal resources directly beneath Kotzebue are promising. There also are known resources in close proximity to the villages of Buckland, Deering, Ambler, Shungnak, and Kobuk. Kotzebue serves as the hub for these villages and is an ideal location for a geothermal pilot project. Two basic phases are involved: exploration and development. While some studies exist - much needs to be verified. There is no hard evidence which shows the temperature or volume of water present. Phase One will consist’ of exploration and drilling. Phasé Two includes development but will depend on the discovered resource. Development options will include electricity generation, district heating, absorption chilling, and of course a heated swimming pool. »ject Cost Estimate & Schedule Type of Project under Consideration Duration of Activity (months) a) Design Costs na —@ Alternative Energy.

Kotzebue and villages in the Northwest Arctic region are among these communities. The cost of fuel has increased drastically in recent years |~ and that trend is expected to continue. Development of geothermal energy can greatly reduce energy costs. A study was completed by AEA in January 1981, which indicated the potential of a geothermal reservoir beneath Kotzebue. In October 2002, Gerald Huttrer, Geothermal Management Company, analyzed the region and also came to the conclusion that there is a strong possibility for a viable resource. While there are more promising geothermal resources in other areas of the NW Arctic Borough (NWAB), Kotzebue, as the regional hub, serves as:the best choice for a pilot project. Kotzebue, through KEA, has the resources of management capacity; experience in project development (i.e., extensive wind farm development); and technical expertise and equipment to develop and maintain a geothermal district heating system and power plant. Strategic Objectives a. To obtain a better understanding of the geothermal resource beneath Kotzebue. b. To develop this resource in a manner suited to the temperature and volume of water. c. To acquire the knowledge base, technical “skill, and. equipment necessary to undertake geothermal - assessments through out the region. ~ d. Ultimately to reduce dependency on diesel, the cost of electricity and greenhouse gas emissions by utilizing available geothermal resources. Potential Impact KEA and Kotzebue are recognized statewide for their capacity and success in developing and maintaining power generation systems that reduce the cost of energy and greenhouse gases. KEA has also worked with other villages in tural Alaska, sharing its expertise with these systems and in dealing with the challenges. particular to off-road communities, to also reduce their energy costs. KEA would equally share the success of this project to promulgate similar efforts in Alaska where geothermal resources exist. Methods a. Use available geophysical techniques to verify the abovementioned studies which ‘indicate that a hydrothermal reservoir exists within 2,000 feet below the surface of Kotzebue, with bottom hole temperatures between 120 and 160 degrees Fahrenheit. b. Continue to work with BLM, USGS, and other field experts to help re-analyze existing data and determine’ what new data needs to be collected. c. Determine, via drilling, exactly what resources do exist. BLM has a small drill rig which could be available to Kotzebue for this. This test drilling next summer could cost up to $750,000. KEA, NANA Regional Corp, and other agencies are seeking funding to support this effort. d. Begin development such as drilling production wells, laying pipe, etc... Pertinent Information Depending on the actual volume and temperature of the reservoir the design, layout, and development of the geothermal resource could cost approximately $3 — 5 million based on similar projects such as Chena Hot Springs. (AK). The cost to do exploratory drilling is estimated at $750,000. The cost for power plant development is currently estimated to be $7,000 per kWh while the cost to of drilling is $1500 per kWh. The overall cost to develop this resource, if it is able to produce enough water for a 200 kW power plant, would be roughly $2 million.

The performance of the initial three turbines since corfiissioning has exceeded expectations in terms of reliability and production, although the data set is still relatively small compared to the design life of the project. In 2006, the three Northwind turbines installed at Toksook Bay, generated 366,000 kWh of power, equivalent to approximately 29,000 gallons of diesel consumption. The community of Toksook Bay offers several advantages to pursuing this project. First; the community has been tied to the neighboring communities of Tununak and. Nightmute with transmission intertie lines, allowing the benefits of wind generation at this one location to be shared by three communities. Second, there is property available to site a fourth turbine, and the geotechnical conditions are fully understood, allowing a previously designed and cost effective foundation to be used. Third, it is anticipated that the permitting process will be streamlined due to the completion of similar permits for the project already operating. Finally, Toksook Bay, relative to other villages served by AVEC ir. western Alaska, is easily accessed by marine transportation equipment which facilitates transportation and mobilization of equipment required to complete the install. The workplan for the project will include mobilization of equipment into the community to install the turbine, construction of the turbine foundation, erection of the turbine tower, nacelle, and blades, and finally connection fo the existing distribution, communication, and control networks.

The City contracted with Electrical Power Systems (EPS) to complete the Study. Despite several delays in the project due to a lack of cooperation from Bethel Utilities Corporation to provide information to EPS, the study is currently in full swing. EPS is designing a low to high penetration plan that will allow the City to integrate wind energy into the grid so as not to disrupt BUC's ability to operate its diesel generators efficienctly.

The term, "wind farm" is being used here to differentiate this project from Bethel's small commercial wind energy project described in a separate Letter of Interest. This study is looking at the whole community and assessing the feasibility of installing low to medium to high penetration wind energy infrastructure. The study will do more than just answer the question of feasibility, it will lay out a plan for the City and other cooperating entities to implement wind energy in Bethel on an escalating scale. Two EPS engineers visited Bethel on August 28-29, 2007 in an effort to evaluate locations best suited for a wind farm. The engineers met with City Adminisrators, the City Planner, and the City Public Works Director while in town. They also addressed the Bethel City Council during their meeting held August 28, 2007. EPS estimates that the study will take six to eight weeks to complete. The City will be provided with deliverables (drafts of the final report) at various intervals (10%, 30%, 50%, 70%, 95%) so that it can provide feedback. The City has not yet received a deliverable. During the first visit to Bethel by EPS in February 2007, a tour of the Bethel Utilities Corporation power plant revealed that BUC was using 1970s technology to run the plant. There were six large-2,500 kW EMD 645 diesel generators in the plant. They opeated 3-4 at any one time. Generators not in use were available for backup purposes. The generators and plant were meticulously maintained. No computer equipment was being used to assist the power plant operators run the .| generators. The single largest obstacle to full penetration in Bethel, and likely the reason for lack of cooperation from Bethel Utilities Corporation at the onset of this: study, is the fact that a full integration wind project in Bethel will require a major investment in new equipment by BUC, and that new equipment will likely require a sophisticated SCADA system. Not only will new equipment have to be purchased, but retraining will have to be done with employees, some of whom have been at the plant for.twenty years. One or more company employees have expressed resistance to the changes that would result from a implementing’a full penetration wind-diesel system. The engineers at EPS have several ideas that they plan to incorporate into their study that will allow the City to: be an independent power producer and send power into the grid without disrupting the utility's ability to operate its generators efficiently or posing harm to their equipment. One strategy is the use of a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) or ‘| alternative storage technology that will permit a more consistent flow of power into the grid, reducing the sharp fluctuations possible when the amount of wind subsides, causing a wind turbine to produce little to no power. The battery system would store excess power or pull power from the battery so that it releases a nearly constant amount continuously. The BESS is also capable of ramping up and ramping down within a time * Period sufficient to allow the diesel plant operators to make adjustments in generator operation. The EPS study is important because it will contain recommendations, steps for implementing those recommendations, and cautions. The engineers are likely to have a recommendation for the amount of wind energy production that the City can produce without causing disruption to the way that BUC currently operates its generators. If BUC equipment, conditions, and personnel remain the same, this kW amount of wind. power may be the maximum feasible amount the community of Bethel can implement with a grid connection. The study's final report will be forwarded to the Alaska Energy Authority and the Denali Commission. The City of Bethel is open to owning and operating a wind farm. The City has land, a labor pool, heavy equipment, sand, dumptrucks, and a Grant Development Manager to assist in acquiring funds. The Bethel City Council passed Resolution #05-31: A Resolution Supporting Wind Power Development in Bethel as a Way to Reduce/Eliminate the Cost of Electricity to the City, other Profit-And Not-For-Profit Entitites, and/or the Community as a Whole. Two City Council members sit on the Alternative Energy Committee, the City's admininstrative committee that meets monthly to discuss ideas, evaluate alternatives, and make recommendations to the City Manager/City Council. y Alternative-Renewable Energy or Energy Efficiency Project Statement of Interest In Developing an Alaskan [= ALASKA @£E=> ENERGY AUTHORITY 136 Project Title: Upper Kobuk Hydropower Assessment Organization: Alaska Village Electric Cooperative Contact Name: Meera Kohler Phone Number: 907-561-1818 Address: 4831 Eagle Street Fax: 907-562-4086 City: Anchorage State: AK Zip Code: 99503 Email: mkohler@avec.org Instructions: Complete the information requested on this page.

Organization: [Bristol Bay Native Association Detailed Project Statement The high cost of ice production and absence of cold storage facilities in Southwest Alaska are significant impediments to increasing the value of the Bristol Bay's wild salmon. Ice and refrigeration to power cold storage facilities can be produced by harnessing the seasonally under-utilized waste heat from Dillingham's 3.5 megawatt diesel-fired electric utility. Refrigeration i engineers calculate that surplus heat resource is sufficient to produce more than 150 tons of ice per day. Ten days ice production could theoretically chill nearly 3 million salmon, roughly half of the Nushagak district's average annual harvest. Estimates are that | the equipment to harness the waste heat for ice production would cost around $1.5 million in today's dollars. Since chilling salmon increases their ex-vessel by roughly 10 cents a pound, the benefit to the industry of chilling three million five-pound salmon would be around $1.5 million annually. Waste-heat powered equipment to produce ice can also be used for refrigeration and cold storage. A waste-heat-fired cold - storage facility would reduce the use fossil fuels that now power the hundreds of freezer vans used to transship Bristol Bay salmon, and make longer-term storage of salmon affordable for local value-added entrepreneurs: The technology for producing ice and powering refrigeration using waste heat is well-established. Site specific conditions, however, will impact the ‘design and cost of any such facility. The initial phase of the Nushagak Waste Heat Ice Plant & Cold Storage project must be to assess the feasibility of developing an ice from waste heat project in Dillingham, taking into account particularly the problems associated with ice storage and its delivery to the fishing fleet. Discussions with representatives of public, private, and academic entities indicate widespread local support for exploring the concept,.which may have prototypical applications for other communities.

Togiak to Twin Hills - estimated length is 5 miles for a total cost of $1,500, 000.00 . New Stuyahok to Ekwok - estimated length is 9 miles for a total cost of $2,700,000.00 Stebbins to St. Michael - estimated length is 8 miles at a total cost of $2,400,000,00 Alakanuk to Emmonak - estimated length is 9 miles at as total cost of $3,600,000.00 (note - this propject estimated at $400,000.00 per mile based on terrain to be built over). AVEC's construction management firms have already demonstrated the ability to construct this type of line in western ‘Alaska, with intertie transmission lines from Toksook Bay to the communities of Tununak and Nightmute serving as examples. The completion of each of these projects would require site control and detailed design work to complete project specific designs that are both economically feasible and dependable for the type environment they will be placed in. One idea that has been tabled is to consider the installation of larger poles or groups of poles forming a structure that would allow the use of much longer spans (approx. 1000 ft.), thereby reducing the number of poles to be installed and streamlining the installation by erecting larger line supports in fewer locations. Completion of all of these lines would result in 5 full size power plants being decommissioned and replaced with smaller emergency standby uniits capable of carrying the community load if service over the transmission line’was interrupted. It is expected that this work would be’ accomplished in the next 3-5 years given sufficient funding opportunities.

Work to date on the development of this project has included assessment of the wind resource, preliminary geo-technical work, and a life- cycle cost analysis of wind generation equipment currently available to determine the size and type best suited for this application. . A preliminary geotechnical study was performed in this community to assess the type of geological structure present and the impact that it would have on the selection of foundation types for the project. The findings of that study indicate that the layers of subterranean bedrock are in fact artifacts of lava flows that vary in thickness and have layers of sandy silt or silty sand soils between them. In addition to this; there is also a concern that one of the initial sites chosen for the turbine | install may be.adjacent to a "thaw bulb" creatéd by heat retention and subsequent thawing of ground near the sewage lagoon. Based on these initial findings, it will be necessary to conduct additional geo-technical work to identify a site cabable of supporting turbines and foundations of the size under consideration. It is anticipated that the wind turbine project could displace 20-50% of the fuel presently used for power generation in the community. The two installed turbines could offset as much as 300,000 kWh of diesel generation on an annual basis. This would save approximately 23,100 gallons of fuel over the same period. com Statement of Interest Si Oo In Developing an Alaskan 7 / f= ALASKA Alternative-Renewable Energy or Energy Efficiency Project => ENERGY AUTHORITY AtasKe Project Title: “Power” of One — The Net Zero Home Organization: City of Dillingham and University of Alaska Fairbanks - Bristol Bay Campus Contact Name: Todd Radenbaugh and Kyle Belleque Phone Number: 842-8315 Address: PO Box 1070 Fax: City: Dillingham State: AK Zip Code: 99576 Email: brtar@uaf.edu Instructions: Complete the information requested on this page.

Objectives: / e By using a combination of alternative and petroleum energy, design and maintain a modest single family home that will reduce the use of diesel fuel by at least 50 per cent. Narrative: This project proposes to design and build a home that not only relies on wind and solar power for its needs, but also sells excess power back to the local cooperative in an attempt to pay for petroleum costs. The financial bottom line at year end for costs associated with electrical power, heating fuel, and gasoline will be Net Zero. , An energy efficient house will be built with energy efficient appliances and heated by an efficient wood burning stove with a Toyotomi stove as back-up. The house will be built to take advantage of passive solar potential and use super-insulation construction. It will be connected to the grid but also an appropriate array of solar panels, wind turbines, and a battery bank. In times of excess power generation, the power would be sold back into the grid. The returns from power sold back into the grid could be used to cover any heating fuel and gasoline expenses the family has. : The project would be done in cooperation with consultants from entities such as the UAF Extension Service and the Cold Climate Housing Research Center (or similar companies) to design and then monitor power generation, energy uses arid flows in the home. The home would be open to the public periodically for educational tours. It would be best to run the project for 5 years with quarterly updates made available to the commission as well as annual reports. This specific strategy in addressing Rural Alaska’s energy concerns may not be a fix-all, but information gained could be used in : variety of ways. We may be able to show the Alaska Housing Finance Corporation that rural renewable houses are worth : specifically creatéd lending program.

Executive Project Description (Highlights of project) jall communities with limited road networks are good locations for the use of off-the-shelf electrical cars, wilt trucks, and scooters because the distance traveled is well within their battery storage capacity. When such vehicles are powered with alternative energy, they will significantly reduce transportation fuel consumption while promoting local energy independence. Power for the vehicles will be supplied via a combination of windmills, solar power, and conventional! electricity sources using battery storage at homes and specially designed parking lots at commuting hubs. To study the feasibility of this concept, the first generation of vehicles used would be inexpensive (approximately $5000) -- little more than enclosed golf carts similar to those used in retirement communities and factories.

Because this road network is small (about 30 miles), it is an ideal location to demonstrate the rural use of electrical cars and light trucks. Improved, modern designs would allow a fully charged electrical vehicle to safely travel to any location within this road network. Further; electric vehicles can be powered with alternative energy, significantly reducing transportation fuel consumption and promoting local energy independence. Two categories of electric vehicles need to be considered--street legal and Neighborhood Electric Vehicles (NEV). Both are easily obtainable from manufacturers and dealers across North America and Europe (e.g. MC Electric Vehicles: htto:/Awww.mcev.biz/index.html). NEVs are less expensive but many of these are not street legal, thus an effort to make exceptions for these vehicles could be made at the municipal and state levels. The main reason for the complex conversion to NEVs is the ever-rising cost of energy in rural Alaska. Dependence on fossil fuels is crippling the local economy and the ever-present risk of fuel spills threatens the commercially important fishing industry. NEVs can resolve some of these issues because they can be powered by a combination of small windmills and solar arrays, which charge batteries at homes or at specially designed parking lots. These alternative energy sources would not only make the electric vehicle truly pollution free, but they would also serve as examples of alternative energy uses. . The project would be run as a co-operative with major investments made by members. In this co-op, individual members would purchase their own electrical vehicles and perhaps even a solar-powered base station to produce and store DC power at their homes. Conservative cost estimates for the vehicle, the energy production unit, and the battery system range is between $20,000 and $40,000. This is similar to the price range of a new vehicle with a combustion éngine. To increase alternative power supplies and to lower running costs, the co-op will construct and maintain two large charging stations at the two most popular commuting destinations, downtown Dillingham and Kanakanak Hospital. Each tim members use the power stations, they will pay a nominal fee for station upkeep and improvements. The co-op would als' provide maintenance and technical support for its members. The first generation of cars used would be simple fiberglass bodies with canvas doors, comparable to NEVs used in retirement communities and factories. There are presently production models of these types of vehicles madé by companies such as ZENN and AC Propulsion, (more at http:/Avww.eaaev.org/eaaevsforsale.htm). As the co-op matures and more money is invested, more expensive electrical cars could be purchase by users.

Narrative: Tidal power is a form of hydropower that,exploits regional water currents caused by tidal flow. Thus, tidal power is an inexhaustible, clean, and renewable energy source. Tidal power has much potential for electric generation and since the tides are predictable can be more easily integrated into power grids when compared to wind or solar power. The tidal currents of Nushagak Bay are an untapped energy source in a region that is dependant on energy sources that come from fossil fuels. New technologies are now available that can tap into this power source to address the high cost of petroleum based energy in Dillingham, “ Tidal power is often classified into two energy types: potential energy (barrages) and kinetic (currents). Barrages use dams to trap the potential energy caused by the variation in height (or head) between high and low tides. Kinetic energy directly tap the power of tidal currents by turning turbines similar to windmills; due to the high density of water compared to air, significantly more power can be generated by tides at similar fluid velocities. Kinetic turbines are becoming more popular due to their flexibility in deployment and relatively small capital costs. In locations where this energy type is available, the capital cost per kW installed and kW/h operating . cost combined is equal or lower than the present electrical generating systems operating throughout Alaska. Further, kinetic tidal power systems have low ecological influences since they don’t use dams to hold back the tide (and fish). In the economically and socially important fishing industry, there is a growing movement in the Bristol Bay region to improvement in fish handling techniques and market more value added salmon products. Thus, higher quality fish requires power for refrigeration (in terms of flash freezing and/or making large quantities of ice), and in a fishery the size of the Nushagak District the energy requirements are enormous. Off the shelf commercial ice plants come in many sizes but all consume large amounts of electricity, water, and space. Typical power consumption ranges from 20 to 300: kWt for plants that produce from 5 to 50 tons of ice per day (24 hours). Another consideration is the water consumption that can range from 200 to 2000 liters per hour. A carefully designed tidal power system could cheaply and effectively supply the required electricity for ice plants (note: the larger electrical generation units may require environmental permitting). If available, kinetic tidal power is less. expensive than other alternative energies power systems. Presently it is estimated the power should cost about’$0.25/kWt installed*. As the technology matures and the cost of petroleum increases it is expected to be competitive with other energy sources. Given that present design developments continue, the cost of tidal power may be less than $0.10/ kWh, assuming current velocities larger than 3.5 m/s are drawn upon*. Thus, kinetic tidal power can meet some of the energy needs for communities in Nushagak Bay. * www.bchydro.com/environment/greenpower/greenpower 1652.html In the summer of 2007, UAF, BBC student Tina Carr did a preliminary study on tidal power in Nushagak Bay by taking current flow and depth measurements. Her study found that the power potential of Nushagak Bay is significant. Average tide tidal flows were measured between 1 to 3.5 meters per second (2-7 knots), more than enough to power kinetic turbines to generate electricity. However, more studies are needed to locate the specific areas within Nushagak Bay with the highest and most consistent flows. Local Research Needs before Install Kinetic Turbines : Affects of ice flows, frazil ice, sediment load, and variants in flow velocity There are many concerns about how the turbines and equipment will hold up under conditions of ice and cold temperatures. Suck conditions will affect methods of operation and type of deployment. Winter issues can be avoided if turbines are only used in the ice free months when the electrical power demands are high. This will ensure the reliability and delivery of the power to shore. If year around use is required to displace costly diesel operations, engineering should be able to overcome the technical issues by designing sturdy turbines deployed under the ice with all the delicate controls and power synchronization equipment placed on shore. Studies will be needed to define icing conditions such as thickness of ice or depth of ice flows, depth of frazil conditions, water velocity immediately below the ice, and sediment movement around bottom cables. The sediment load in Alaska tidal areas often is substaritial so particular attention will have to be applied on the choice of resins used in the construction of the turbine parts and to_ cable connectors. Logs and other debris are expected. Although most of this debris floats and moves on the water surface there will be large objects traveling mid-stream that will need to be deflected. The electrical cables must also be buried to protect them against wear and shore ice abrasion during the spring runoff. thoring and deployment: adapting to specific sites Anchoring tidal turbines require special engineering as water currents alternate every six hours. Anchoring mechanisms in flowing water are generally divided into two types: permanent structures and temporary. Most engineers suggest that in rural Alaska, the temporary type be used for ease of maintenance. Temporary anchoring systems can be designed to be similar to that of a ship and do not necessitate major alteration of the benthic environment to accomplish stability. The exact type of anchor that best suits any site varies and is dependent on current speed, sediment size, tidal influence, etc. Entanglement of hoses, anchorage cables and or electric power cables is a serious issue that needs to be addressed with any anchoring system. Thus, a mobile or amphibious turbine system could be used to provide power to anchored ships and barges. In this system, a turbine is mounted on an articulating “A” frame connected to the stern of a barge, or on pontoons and can be lowered into the water current. The power generated by the turbine can then be used to generate electricity or be used to operate a hydraulic pump that can either run compressors to run a generator, tools or a combination of both.

Cheesh'na has a community hall and existing Tribal buildings in a campus area, MSTC is planning to construct a new facility adjacent to the Community Hall and within the campus area. Cheesh'na, in collaboration with the Alaska Energy Authority, has competed a biomass feasibility study that shows that a large wood fired boiler could provide heat and hot waterto several facilities in the campus area at a cost savings to the agencies. Ahtna Inc. is the primary land owner of thausands of acres of woaded area surrounding the Chistochina community. Ahtna has conducted preliminary inventories of the area surrounding the Chistochina and has concluded that it contains abundant resources (trees) that could be utilized to fuel the biomass system. Ahtna has further indicated that it would be supportive of a collaborative agreement to harvest the resources, which would reduce fire danger on Ahtna lands, provide fuel for the biamass system and create local employment. Funding is needed to complete a system design, formalize an agreement with Ahtna Inc. to harvest and store the resaurces, develop the infrastructure and human resources for operating the system, and purchasing and installing the equipment. The figures used are rough estimates based on Dectra Corporation in 2005. All supporting documents are available upon request.

Baseline information would include comprehensive mapping as well as long term current and wave measurements. This information could be used to direct efforts and funding for renewable energy projects to the most promising locations.

Organization: Phone: Email: Name: Organization: Phone: Email: ' Project Title: Energy Inventory for Rural Alaska Organization: TerraSond Limited Detailed Project Statement: TerraSond Limited is a professional firm focused on terrestrial and seafloor mapping and geophysical and environmental surveys. Our interest-in renewable energy is a product of our many projects around the state where we have seen both the enormous potential for the environment to serve as an energy source, as well as the need to find an alternative to petroleum base electricity generation. The focus of this proposal would be to collect baseline data for assessing the technical feasibility of renewable energy installations on the Yukon and Kuskokwim rivers and also in selected points along the Gulf of Alaska coast, the Aleutian chain and in the Bering Strait. The baseline data would also help determine if installations made were having an impact. We are currently working with Alaska Power and Telephone (APT) on baseline and very specific site information for their proposed hydrokinetic turbine on the Yukon at Eagle. Our involvement in that project is quite late in the game and much of the information desired by APT cannot be obtained before the design must be finalized. This timeframe leads us to believe that the baseline information, which should be collected over time, needs to be collected before the project is funded and timeframes become short. ‘Our program on the Yukon and Kuskokwim Rivers would focus on the larger communities, those with over 200 residents or more. These communities include; Fort Yukon, Tanana, Galena, Nulato, Kaltag, Holy Cross, Russion Mission, Marshall, Pilot Station, Mt Village, Emmonak, Alakanuk, Aniak, Lower Kalskag, Tuluksak, Akiak, Akiachak and Bethel. All of these villages, with the exception of Bethel (6000 residents), have between 200 and 800 residents. All currently rely on diesel power generation of electricity that is delivered at great expense. The goal of the program on the rivers would be to assess the potential for hydrokinetic electrical generation and would include bathymetric survey, current reconnaisance to find areas with potential, and a year long monitoring effort at likely sites to understand the energy potential through the entire year as well as the environmental dangers including ice kee depth. All data would be related to existing USGS river current and stage data so that a site specific profile for wate depth and current speeds could be generated, allowing prediction of long term potential and ice issues. The data would also provide an environmental baseline to assist in future assessment of the impact of the turbines, should they be installed. The oceanic communities have potential from both current and wave energy. We chose six communities to perform the assessment of based on location, potential and need. The communities include Yakutat, Adak, Dutch Harbor, False Pass, King Cove and Inalik. Yakutat, Adak, Dutch Harbor and King Cove all have potential wave energy. We would ‘propose sensors, both HF Radar and subsurface pressure sensors to evaluate potential wave energy sites near these communities and to survey potential sites with multibeam sonar to create highly accurate base maps. The community of False Pass has the potential to harness the considerable tidal current in the pass. We have recently completed a project at Little Diomede Island working with Kawerak Transportation Corp and the US Army Corps of Engineers collecting hydrographic geophysical, oceanographic and meteorological data to determine the feasibility of a runway and harbor for the community of Inalik. During the field effort we observed a strong ocean current just offshore of the village. Indications are that it is part of a large oceanic circulation pattern and expectation is that is runs under the ice in winter. Inalik, although a small village, is incredible expensive to operate with goods including fuel brought in primarily by plane in winter and helicopter in summer. It is a prime candidate for a energy source that takes advantage of-the constant current. Both of these projects would require a very accurate multibeam basemap as well as ADP measurements to determine the best location for a generation site and also the year round potential for power. This project could be scaled up or down to apply to other rivers or coastal communities. No funding has been found so far. We feel strongly that Alaska has need for renewable power in its remote communities. We have experienced the energy available in the environment while working in these areas. We also feel that it is important to get enough mapping an. baseline information that if installations are made, the future impact of those installations can be measured.

The cooperative has accomplished the construction of a small-scale biodiesel processor from recycled and donated materials in space donated by Alaska Battery Supply. So far, several test batches have been produced, with promising results. However, due to a lack of funding, progress towards expanding the cooperative has been limited. The potential for biodiesel production from waste vegetable oil (WVO) in Fairbanks is great. Our used oil resource is currently underutilized. Currently one local company, Fairbanks Pumping and Thawing, collects vegetable oil from local restaurants for a fee, However, Fairbanks has no Infrastructure to coordinate the collection of WVO from residential sources, and it is suspected that much of the WVO produced in restaurants is illegally dumped at the local transfer sites to avoid the cost of proper disposal. ~ The cu rrent goal of the Fairbanks Biodiesel Cooperative is to develop an efficient infrastructure for the collection of WVO from all local producers, and to effectively convert this waste stream into biodiesel, a source of valuable energy for transportation and home heating. This goal can be met through the following steps: + Create a part-time, paid “coordinator” position within the Cooperative, to facilitate WVO collection, biodiesel production, Cooperative expansion, and to pursue further funding. + Offer regular pickups of wvo at no charge to the producer. This would invoive the purchase of a diesel truck for the Cooperative to transport the oil. + Carry out a public education and outreach campaign to emphasize the importance and the value of reusing WVO as biodiesel, with the goal of increased public participation in the collection and production processes. + Design and construction of a medium scale (over 100 gallons per batch) biodiesel processor in a dedicated warehouse. + Network with other local organizations pursuing alternative energy projects and increase collaboration between Fairbanks and Anchorage biodiesel programs, With adequate funding to pursue these goals, the Fairbanks Biodiesel Cooperative would be able to fully utilize the Fairbanks vegetable oil waste stream, The cost estimates included in this letter of interest are completely flexible, and could be adapted to any funding level. Initial funding for a part time position would enable the Cooperative to pursue further funding opportunities for continued operation, With funding to meet these initial neetls, the Cooperative could expand to give Fairbanks residents a way to participate in alternative and renewable energy production on a scale that is familiar and encouraging, while at the same time bettering air quality, reducing landfill costs, and reducing demand for fossil fuels. aEASEP Statement of Interest In Developing an Alaskan Alternative-Renewable Energy or Energy Efficiency Project f= => ALASKA @£E=> ENERGY AUTHORITY Project Title: Utility Waterlin e Turbines Organization: City of Homer Contact Name: Walt Wrede Phone Number: 907-235-8121 Address: 491 E Pioneer Ave. Fax: 907-235-3148 City: Homer State: AK Zip Code: 99603 Email: wwrede@ci.homer.ak.us instructions: Complete the information requested on this page.

Phone: Email: 154 Project Title: Alaska Center for Renewable Energy and Sustainable Development Organization; Chena Hot Springs Resort Detailed Project Statement: The proposed Alaska Center. for Renewable Energy and: Sustainable Development will encompass the existing renewable energy infrastructure at Chena Hot Springs, as well as planned several planned future projects. The goal of this proposal is fo take advantage of these existing components, and integrate them into a world class educational facility. Specific projects which will be incorporated include: the geothermal power plant, water ram, greenhouses and gardens, weather station, annemometer, absorption chiller, hydrogen production facility, and a planned new ‘green’ pool building. The funding requested under this proposal would provide seed money to organize and staff the Center over the first year of operation. The’ Alaskan-Center for Renewable Energy and Sustainable Development will have several distinct but interrelated objectives as follows: Objective #1: Education is the primary goal for the Center. The educational component will have three components, all with the goal of disseminating technology and information on renewable energy and encouraging and supporting sustainable communities throughout Alaska. The first goal‘of the educational component is targeting students in the K-12 grades, with a special focus on Native students in rural villages and underrepresented groups in urban areas. The goal will be to increase focus on the sciences and opportunities for science and engineering careers in Alaska. A second educational focus will be on collaborating: with the. University to allow research and education opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students through specific; project based research opportunities relating to renewable energy technologies. The third component would be public education opportunities for all Alaskans, through free tours and seminars. Additionally, Chena Hot Springs hosts the annual Chena Renewable Energy Fair which draws participants from throughout Alaska and around the world. Objective #2: Technology Demonstration, Development, and Testing Chena Hot Springs proposes to expand and improve on existing renewable energy working demonstration projects already installed. The goal is to demonstrate feasible technologies for Alaska and work to improve existing technologies to operate successfully under harsh Alaskan conditions. Examples of specific future opportunities for field research include: fuel cell operation in cold weather, icing on turbine nacelles, frazzle icing in hydropower installations, and replacing steam with thermal oil boilers for biomass applications. Objective #3: Technology Transfer The ultimate objective and proof of success is to transfer of proven technology demonstrated at Chena and elsewhere ‘to other locations in Alaska. The Center can continue to provide technical and educational support components to rural installations to ensure long term success of such ‘daughter’ projects. The successful installation of the geothermal power plant.at Chena has already spurred several moderate temperature resource geothermal: exploration projects, including Naknek, Nome, and Manley Hot Springs. Additionally, absorption chilling is being evaluated for use in several, communities using waste heat from existing diesel gensets.

This power plant can supply more electricity than is needed during normal business operations, and because the CHSR grid is completely isolated due to its remote location, there is no use for this excess power. During this pilot project, the excess electricity which would otherwise go to waste can be used to generate hydrogen on a continual basis. Stranded geothermal energy is an ideal renewable resource to tap for hydrogen production due to its high availability and relatively low cost of power generation equipment. However, this has never previously been demonstrated. Additionally, small scale, remote hydrogen production and use in arctic climates present unique technical challenges which will be quantified and addressed as part of the proposed program. While increasing the use of renewable energy technologies in rural Alaska is vital to the long term economic viability and health of many communities, power generation alone does not address the broader energy needs. Fuels such as gasoline, diesel, and heating oil still need to be transported to those villages (Chaney et. al, 2004). In the 2006 ‘Wind Diesel Hybrid Report’ prepared by Steve Colt of the University of Alaska Institute of Social and Economic Research and Steve Gilbert of Chugach Electric Association, a roadmap is laid out for how a future Alaskan hydrogen village might operate. The report concludes with the assessment: ‘Prior to deployment of hydrogen fue! production at a village, a pilot project should be undertaken. The purpose of the pilot project would be to produce hydrogen fuel from wind and use it in various IC: engines and space heating equipment. The purpose of the collaborative would be to develop the scope of work for a pilot project leading to the development of practical hydrogen fueled machines for village Alaska.’ CHSR offers a unique venue for such a pilot hydrogen demonstration project to implement and test emerging hydrogen technologies for a number of reasons. Most importantly, there is excess power generated from a renewable resource — geothermal power — which would otherwise go to waste. At CHSR, just as in a village, there is an opportunity to consider the entire flow of energy, from production to end-use. This includes energy sources and conversion technologies (geothermal power), the ‘currency’ (electricity and hydrogen), the end use technology and the services rendered by those technologies (transportation, food production). Hydrogen also is the key ingredient in replacing the only remaining imported fuel sources (diesel and gasoline for transportation and propane for appliances), and contribute to meeting Chena’s stated vision of self-sufficiency in electricity, heat, food and fuel to the greatest extent possible. The demonstration project will enable an assessment to be made of the benefit of geothermal hydrogen generation in an off-grid site in terms of cost, energy savings, assessing regulatory issues, emissions avoided, architecture, safety, technical feasibility, public acceptance (concentrating on risks associated with hydrogen technology, and willingness to pay for the specific type of cleaner technology) and practicality. The overall project goals can be summarized as follows: Objective #1: To install a small pilot hydrogen production facility and associated end-use infrastructure. The goal is to demonstrate, feasibility of hydrogen fuel production using geothermal power at a remote site in an extreme climate. The hydrogen fuel would be utilized in a variety of applications, including IC engines and appliances. While CHSR intends to collaborate closely with research institutions and organizations, a small private business enterprise such as CHSR can often install and conduct demonstration projects for less money and in a shorter period of time. Objective #2: Identify technical economic and financial feasibility of using hydrogen as a fuel in rural Alaskan villages. . The installation of a pilot project will allow much clearer analysis of the pros and cons of hydrogen use in rural settings where there is limited technical expertise. At CHSR, just as in a village, there is an opportunity to consider the entire flow of energy, from production to end-use. CHSR and its partners also propose to conduct a lifecycle analysis to determine whether hydrogen fuel is an economically viable alternative for rural Alaska. Objective #3: To facilitate technology and information transfer of project results to rural villages in order to allow them tc make intelligent, informed decisions about their energy alternatives.

At present, the K&K Recycling shop facility at Prudhoe Bay, which is one of the largest on the North Slope, is- underutilized. However plans are developing to begin manufacture of carbon fiber material and fuel tanks. This manufacturing process, which has been pioneered by Roy McAlister, P.E., requires a substantial amount of natural gas as a feedstock. The K&K Recycling facility is currently powered by two 388 CAT diesel generators. However, these are expensive to operate and aging. Total thermal efficiency even with some capture of waste heat is 30%. K&K Recycling has a long term contract for purchase of natural gas from BP, which can be used for both the carbon fiber manufacturing process and for power generation. K&K Recycling has recently entered into an arrangement with UTC Power to obtain and test two of their next generation state of the art 400kW fuel cells at the facility. These fuel cells will operate using natural gas, and can be installed for $2500/kKW. Thermal efficiency when capturing waste heat can be as high as 80-85%. Additionally, the fuel cell comes with a 10 year operational guarantee and built in maintenance package, including parts and labor. The fuel cell will be available on the market at the end of 2007 or early 2008. This type of new fuel cell technology could be deployed in many areas of the state where there is natural gas development or shallow-coal bed methane resources. They can supply-clean, reliable heat and power to remote sites and are designed for operation in cold weather. Additionally, the fuel cells could operate off hydrogen generated from an variable renewable resource, such as wind, fo allow a larger percentage of this type of generation to be deployed on existing grids in remote areas.

Organization: Yukon River Inter-Tribal Watershed Council Detailed Project Statement: Gasoline is extremely expensive in rural Alaska--Arctic Village, for example, is now paying $9.00 per gallon. Despite these high costs, basic services and activities in tural Alaska, from hauling water to hunting and fishing, use gasoline in four-wheelers, snow machines, and small boats with outboard motors. Gasoline is not only expensive but at times simply not available in small villages because of shipping or financial constraints. On a global scale, use of gasoline is associated with problematic climate change and human and environmental health issues. This project aims to establish an alternative system for transporation in remote regions using electric motors and high energy density batteries (e.g., lithium-ion) for conventional modes such as four-wheelers, snow machines, and outboard motors. The main objective will be to develop an interchangeable platform so that the same batteries and charging technologies can be used for all kinds of transportation--and even stationary--applications. Determining the ideal configuration and interchange of batteries and motors for different applications will require in-the-field testing and experimentation of different available technologies.‘ Outcomes of this testing will be identification of shortcomings and possible solutions. . These technologies, namely batteries and electric motors, are rapidly developing because of interest in electric and hybrid cars for more urban applications, but these smaller and more remote applications are generally being ignored by the automotive and oil industries. This presents a tremendous opportunity for Alaska communities to develop and export a technology that can be used in remote settings around the.world. As well, these batteries can be used not just for transportation -but also stationary applications once charged, ideally from renewable energy. Electric motors have numerous advantages over internal combustion motors, including quietness, less maintenance and moving parts, longer lifespan, and ease of control. Alternatively, electric motors are costly to purchase and rely on batteries, which have long been the achilles heel. With improved batteries and a solid waste management system to rotate supply, this challenge is on the verge of being overcome. Success will result in not just reduced transportation costs and improved quality of life in rural Alaska, but also potentially an export industry that can create jobs and income for rural residents. The workplan will consist of identifying best available technology for testing and demonstration; assembling an engineering and evaluation team; more fully developing project partnerships that could include equipment manufacturers to donate transportation prototypes; and establishing design parameters and specifications. A testing regimen will be promulgated and then the equipment will be subjected to laboratory and in-the-field tests to determine performance. A design-and evaluation team will monitor the performance and identify improvements for next generation techriology. we will aim to have working prototypes that can meet specific demands, such as hauling water within a village or traveling for a specified distance, by the end of the 21 month project. The Yukon River Inter-Tribal Watershed Council has recently received a three-year renewable energy ahd conservation grant from the US Administration for Native Americans (ANA) for a total of about $650,000. This grant will allow the YRITWC to establish an Energy Department that willl already be working on these issues and provide significant funding match to this effort. Staffing and start-up costs will be eliminated and it is likely that an appropriate community, as well as best-fit technologies, will already be selected. We have developed partnerships with several leading renewable energy organizations that have committed to work with the YRITWC through the ANA grant, including the Alaska Building Science Network, Cold Climate Housing Research Center, University of Alaska Fairbanks, Renewable Energy Alaska Project,- Alaska Housing Finance Corporation, Chena Hot Springs, and US Department of Energy-National Renewable Energy Laboratory.

This is extremely costly--the village of Ruby, for example, is now paying $0.98/kiloWatt-hour. In shipping, diesel fuel is subject to spillage and has significant pollution, environmental and human health impacts. Based on the high cost of diesel fuel and the economic situation of many villages, mere availability of the fuel is becoming uncertain because of the large up-front cash required for bulk purchase. Some recent polls have indicated that the high cost of energy in rural areas is the leading cause of urbanization in Alaska. Program objectives for this project are the following: 1) Optimize a fish wheel design for maximum energy production on the Yukon River; 2) Identify other appropriate technologies, such as solid waste to energy conversion, biomass combined heat and electricity production units, wind turbines, and solar panels, to generate electricity from renewable and/or alternative resources; 3) Design an integrated hybrid renewable energy generation system based on locally available renewable resources to maximize energy production and minimize diesel fuel use; 4) Identify site-specific constraints and opportunities that can be generalized for more widescale application. This project has tremendous potential for rural and urban Alaska. Many villages are located along rivers where there is flowing water. Fish wheels are a traditional tool in interior Alaska that many people are familiar with and have often discussed as a possible means of generating clean electricity. If the power’ of Alaska's rivers can be harnessed for electricity, this could provide for many communities’ energy needs for almost half of the year. Wind, solar, biomass, and solid waste, can meet the other needs for the remainder of the year in various: combinations. Such a hybrid system will undoubtedly cost a great deal at the beginning, but over time as the components are mass produced and optimized for various applications, these costs will come down. At this:stage, our goal is to provide a technical demonstration of what is possible in terms of reducing the dependence on diesel fuel, and then to work on cost issues. It should be noted that -except for the modified fish wheel, all the other renewable energy generation technologies are "off-the-shelf," i.e., they already exist and are proven as stand-alone applications. The modified fish wheel will be a unique technologica, contribution from this project. As well, integrating all the individual technologies into a hybrid system will be a unique contribution that can have broad application across all villages using diesel generators and/or a centralized distribution system via power lines. This will be an 18 month project. We will identify an appropriate community to install the demonstration system. Several communities within the Yukon River watershed have already expressed an interest and have demonstrated some technical and administrative capacity with regard to village-scale energy management. There are already existing wind and/or solar applications, for example, in at least five Yukon River watershed communities with others scheduled to be installed. This proposed project will draw from this experience, infrastructure, and local knowledge’ and support to determine an ideal community and structure. Concurrently, an engineering team will be assembled to modify traditional fish wheel design to optimize for power production. The fish wheel optimization will requre 6-9 months. Based on the site selection, additional technologies identified above will be incorporated into a hybrid design to maximize renewable energy production. This hybrid system will be monitored to evaluate its performance and identify improvements and future applications. : The Yukon River Inter-Tribal Watershed Council has recently received a three-year renewable energy and. conservation grant from the US Administration for Native Americans (ANA) for $650,000.

The proposed system will be scaled to convert up to 5.5 tons/day of wet willow tree biomass into approximately 3 barrels/day of liquid fuel suitable for transportation use. The production of light gases equivalent to liquefied petroleum gas may also be produced.

As a result, there has been a considerable number of analyses on the energy balance of various ethanol production processes. For the proposed deployment of a distilled fuel production unit for either alcohol or diesel production, the energy content of the fuel should exceed the energy required to grow, cultivate, and harvest biomass material, to transport the biomass to the facility, to operate the process, and to deliver the final product. Se The gross energy input required to make ethanol from corn is roughly equivalent to the lower heating value of the ethanol itself. The lower heating value is the heat of combustion for a given material minus the energy in the water vapor produced from the combustion and is sometimes used as a measure of the useful energy available for transportation applications. Ethanol production is energy intensive due to agriculture and transportation, but also due to the nature of the process. In contrast, a net energy benefit can be realized by producing fuel alcohols or a synthetic diesel from cellulosic materials such as willow or poplar trees. The energy consumed in agriculture and production from trees represents only 24% of the lower heating value for ethanol using previously demonstrated technology, versus approximately 20% for the proposed UTC approach. In the case where the proposed UTC biomass-to-fuels process can be tuned to produce a synthetic diesel fuel; the energy input is only 13% of the fuel lower heating value. The critical innovations that enable this biomass-to-fuels system are the development and application of a liquid phase pyrolosis system to convert a biomass slurry into useful feedstock material for a catalytic reactor to generate synthetic fuel, as well as the development of the fuel conversion catalyst. By using a completely thermochemical route to produce liquid fuels, a more highly concentrated fuel/water mixture is produced relative to the high water content ethanol produced from more conventional routes. This lower water content translates into‘less energy being expended in the separation of fuel for the end user. The process includes a number of steps, beginning with the harvest and grinding of woody biomass. This, grounc biomass fs turned into a wet slurry which is then fed to a liquid phase pyrolosis reactor under high pressure (>100 bar) tc produce a useful feedstock material for the liquid fuel production. Any unreacted biomass, included char and uncoverted lignin, would be separated and sent to a boiler to provide energy in the form of heat for the process. The remaining product stréam from the pyrolosis reactor would then be sent to a catalytic liquid fuel generator. The fuel generator is an exothermic process, producing excess heat, and thus there is the potential to capture waste heat from this reactor, particularly in the form of hot water. Coupled with the UTC organic rankine cycle power plant, some of this waste heat could be converted to electricity, with the remaining used for domestic hot water in a remote village application. Unlike conventional approaches to fuel production via fermentation, this thermochemical approach would result in fuel mixtures on the order of 26% in water. In the case of synthetic diesel production, the subsequent energy savings on distillation translate into a relatively low energy input value. The thermochemical approach also simplifies the concerns over maintaining low bacterial levels for the fermentation process that could be important in a remote.application. In addition, wastewater produced from a thermochemical approach is reduced versus conventional fermentation due to increased recycle of water back into the process. The proposed bioenergy system has several potential applications, with two more immediate end uses. Commerically, the proposed bioenergy system can be scaled for deployment in remote locations where biomass is readily available, but a liquid fuel and electricity infrastructure is virtually nonexistent. Having such a system could allow a remote village to generate power and provide liquid fuel for motor vehicles and LPG for cooking and heating. Similarly, the proposed bioenergy system could be used for military deployment to provide a distributed source of logistic fuel while powering a small command post. UTC’s catalysis, reaction engineering, and waste heat-to-electricity experience; coupled with the Chena Hot Springs Resort/Chena Power team infrastructure and support can successfully demonstrate this exciting technology. - Statement of Interest In Developing an Alaskan Alternative-Renewable Energy or Energy Efficiency Project /= ALASKA @=™ ENERGY AUTHORITY Project Title: Biomass Power Plant using Organic Rankine Cycle Technology Organization: Chena Power Contact Name: Gwen Holdmann Phone Number: 907-590-4577 Address: PO Box 58740 Fax: 907-451-8151 City: Fairbanks State: AK Zip Code: 99711 Email: gwen@yourownpower.com Instructions: Complete the information requested on this page.

The result is a risky and unsustainable business model that leads to high prices for diesel and electricity. The state offers assistance to small communities with high cost of electricity through the Power Cost Equalization (PCE) program. According to the PCE 2005 Annual Report, 183 communities applied for PCE and paid an average price of $.43 per kw/h. According to the Alaska Energy Authority, of the 183 communities which applied for PCE, 68 have:been identified as having locally available biomass resources.. These communities currently pay an average of $.22 per kW for fuel (diesel). The development of biomass and other renewable energy in rural Alaska has the potential to deliver multiple benefits including a supply of sustainable energy, stable energy pricing, reduction in the amount of dollars flowing out of the community to pay for diesel, the creation of jobs and industry, and a reduction in the amount of diesel bulk storage which can reduce spills. Biomass in particularly is an attractive alternative due to its potential for supplying base load generation. Communities in Alaska have differing types and availability of biomass, and therefore the economic profile of supplying a project with biomass will differ. The proposed project will allow other communities or interested parties to review the technical and economic aspects of the power plant and combine that information with the technical and economic aspects of biomass supply in their community to determine project feasibility. A main goal in redesigning the Chena geothermal power plant system is to increase the efficiency of the unit to above 20% through a cascading cycle. A proprietary organic working fluid would be used for the topping cycle, coupled with a 245fa bottoming cycle for a combined efficiency of 23.5% and total net electric output of 400 kW. The project will be assessed under a range of criteria including installation, operating, and maintenance costs, and safety. The power plant modules will operate off a single Wellons boiler system, using solid municipal waste and woody biomass as feedstock, with up to 50% moisture content. The municipal waste will be transferred from the Fairbanks North Star Borough landfill under an existing MOU. The system will be designed and tested as a stand-alone system for village applications, but will feed power onto the Golden Valley Electric Association grid. This project is expected to take place in three phases. Phase | would involve a far more: detailed and integrated financial and technical analysis of the project, and would take place over a three month period. This phase would involve refining the project economic and financial analysis for both the demonstration project and a future village project, completing a business plan, and characterizing all aspects of operation. Additionally, United Technologies would refine their system design to incorporate site-specific concerns and integration with the Wellons boiler. The: second Phase would involve site preparation and installation of the Wellons ‘boiler, purchase and installation of processing equipment for the municipal waste and automated feed system for the Wellons boiler, and assembly and installation of the first ORC power plant module. Both the Wellons boiler and UTC power plant have a 5 month lead time associated with them. During this phase, final'design work on the second ORC module would also be completed at | United Technologies. This Phase is expected to be completed within 6 months. The third Phase would involve installation of the second ORC unit. The power plant will also serve as a combined heat- and-power system, providing heat to a co-located year-round greenhouse facility which will produce lettuce for export throughout the state. 161 Statement of Interest In Developing an Alaskan f= ALASKA Alternative-Renewable Energy or Energy Efficiency Project @£=—> ENERGY AUTHORITY Project Title: Kanakanak Hospital Wind Energy Project Organization: Bristol Bay Area Health Corporation Inc.

Detailed Project Statement: The recent sharp increases in energy costs have influenced the BBAHC to investigate alternative sustainable energy sources to supplement the energy needs at the Kanakanak hospital. The unpredictability of fuel oil costs and electric energy costs produced from fuel oil is motivating BBAHC to seek other sustainable energy solutions for energy to operate the hospital. Wind power generation was also determined to be within the capability of the existing maintenance staff; they already have the necessary skills or can readily be managed or trained to supplement their skills to operate such a technology. Recently, metrological data for the Dillingham/Kanakanak area was gathered and made available. A preliminary analysis was conducted to explore the potential of wind power development near the Kanakanak hospital. The average wind speeds are conducive to good to very good sustainable winds and indicate a reasonable assurance that a successful wind project can be developed and operated at the-hospital property. Initial screening has been done to indicate the project can be economically viable as a long term energy solution. Support of the project by land owner, the Federal Government through its agency the Indian Health Service, has been sought and initially a favorable response has been received to develop a wind project. Assistance will be required to analyze the proper size and arrangement of equipment which would adequately serve the needs of the hospital campus in the most economical configuration. Assistance will also be required to negotiate an arrangement to wheel any surplus energy to the local utility over existing electrical circuits. The overall objective would be to provide an alternative energy source for the hospital campus that can offset rising energy costs and provide a stable long term energy resource. Another benefit would be to demonstrate to others in the Bristol Bay Region and other regions in Alaska, that alternative and sustainable energy can be commercially and economically viable to develop in the hub communities. The plan for the development of this project is to design a system of proper arrangement and capacity, initiate the NEPA and permitting process, and complete a concept design. The concept-will be submitted to the BBAHC Board of Directors (BOD) and IHS for approval prior to completing the design. Design and Probable Construction costs will then be developed and following a final design, approval and permitting the project will be competitively bid out for construction and commissioning. Monitoring of the project results annually will be maintained to measure the results and report to the BOD, IHS and other interested parties to further the development of wind generation in Alaska. Funding for the project will be BBAHC BOD funds, grants, and other sources to fully fund the project. Annually, Kanakanak hospital currently uses approximately 2,016,100 kWh (at a net cost of about $0.26/kWh) and 161,300 gal of #1 fuel oil for a total cost of $1,040,346 for both. Fuel oil costs about $3.20/gal in Dillingham for large commercial quantities and will. most-likely rise in the future. wosoLssuur L0.UU rom: Page: 2e * vate: prsvane acategu ym rave wey Ut SNMUNGNAN LISA Siatement of Interest tn Developing an Alaskan ; . f= => ALASK Altarnative-Renswable Energy or Energy Efficiency Project RE ENERGY AUTHOSITY Project Title: Shungnak Alternative and Renewable Energy Project Organization: Native Village of Shungnak | Contact Name: Crystal Tickett Phone Number: 907-437-2183 Address: P.O.

Introduction The Native Village of Shungnak was founded in 1899 asas the Cosmos Hills, this Inupiat Eskimo eee village was forced to move in the 1920s because of river erosion and flooding. The old site, 10 miles upstream, was renamed Kobuk by those who remained there. The new village was named “Kochuk,” but later reverted to Shungnak. This name is derived from the Eskimo word “Issingnak,” which means jade, a stone found extensively throughout the surrounding hills. Shungnak is an Inupiaq community (Inupiaq means” real people”,) active in their traditional way of life. They are proud of their culture and rely on their subsistence resources, including various kinds of fish, caribou, moose, bear, berries and other vegetation.

This study would build on previous efforts by the University of Alaska (Dr. Dan Walsh) in cooperation with the Catholic Schools of Fairbanks 4th grade class. Additionally, if it is determined that most vegetable oil is not collected and recycled, the Fairbanks Biodiesel Cooperative proposed to design and implement an effective strategy for waste oil collection in Fairbanks for use as a feedstock to produce biodiesel.

Most large producers of oil, such as restaurants, must pay to dispose of the waste oil. The cost for disposal can be as high as $2 per pound. Homeowners can dispose of small quantities of waste vegetable oil at solid waste transfer sites throughout the Borough. This is handled as a hazardous waste and shipped out of Alaska. It is unclear what the end use or disposal of the various waste streams of vegetable oil are in the Fairbanks North Star Borough, which is a potentially valuable and recyclable resource. In 2001, a survey of waste vegetable oil generation and disposal was conducted by Dr. Dan Welsh from the University of Alaska in conjunction with the 4th grade class from the Catholic Schools of Fairbanks. This was an informal but interesting study which creates a baseline for our proposed survey. The Fairbanks Biodiesel Cooperative has been processing waste vegetable oil into biodiesel since early 2007. In obtaining a feedstock for the process, the goal of the cooperative is to avoid negatively impacting any local businesses, including the other collectors of oil. However, it is not clear how much waste vegetable oil is generated in the Borough, how much of that oil is collected, and how collected waste oil is processed, used, or otherwise disposed of. Previous estimates indicate the volume could be as high as 300 gallons per day. The: Coop is currently undertaking a survey of local restaurants to determine volumes, type of oil used, and disposal method. The goal of the Coop is to facilitate the use of as much waste vegetable oil as possible for energy conversion, such as in a waste boiler system or as a refined biodiesel product. If a need is discovered for additional collection and processing of vegetable oil, the Coop would like to work toward meeting this need. Specifically, the Coop would work toward building special collection boxes for waste vegetable oil fo be located at transfer stations throughout the Borough and at participating restaurants.

Contact: John Howe, Owner Howee's Machine shop 1-(907)-457-5722 1. ALarge amount of fuel is consumed in Alaska each year for space heating. Remote locations have to consume additional fuel for power generation. 2. Cogeneration, with heating as a by-product is commonly provided from large power generating facilities in Alaskan cities. This is a proposal to work towards the inverse cogeneration, providing power as the by-product. | To provide a tested design fora steam system that will utilize the heat from small (under 100Kbtu/Hour) heating systems. That | could be sold in moderate quantity for under $10k each. The design would concentrate on the need to be able to use multiple types of fuel, compactness for shipping, ease of maintenance, and safety. 3. The main impact for Alaska would be cost savings, or better living conditions for remote households. However as the cost of | inverter systems to supply power to the grid become less expensive such systems may become useful to a larger number of residences, and small commercial buildings. 4. The work plan is to build several small generators, running them until problems with a given design surface, then quickly making changes to keep going forward. Hopes are for a system that could be added into existing heating equipment, provide usable power, and be affordable. The “other costs” would be for custom manufacturing of prototype parts, and operating the generators. . 5. Howee's Machine shop has built state of the art computer controlled machines, durable mining equipment, and precision machine tools, We believe there is a market for such units, and we would be interested in manufacturing them for sell, after the design & testing has proven the effectiveness of the system. : : Howee's normal course of business is building custom machinery, and specialty parts. We would be looking to partner in the development, by the fact of offering a greatly reduced per hour cost for our design, and testing time.

Without reasonably priced and available fuels, regional development and community sustainability is stymied This project facilitates the development of a sustainable biomass delivery system simultaneously with wood heat and then electrical power generation makes this project unique. It also addresses the key elements necessary for the sustainability of the Upper Kuskokwim villages and does so, through the direct involvement of the city, tribe, local: Native corporation, school district, federal and state agencies and the residents. A group of about 20 representatives from these entities met as a whole to learn about the project ask questions and provide input. The AV! project directors also met with city and tribal entities to discuss the specific roles that would be carried out by each. This model will become readily adaptable to many communities throughout the interior and southwest Alaska and shared by AVI along with state and federal collaborators throughout the state. This project is also consistent with the goals and objectives of the Tanana Chief's Conference Comprehensive Economic Development “Strategy, including two objectives of the Community Development goal, six objectives of the Economic Development goal and the Natural Resource Conservation goal. AVI's_ technical, business and land stewardship development capabibilities and expertise provided through a USDA RBEG grant coupled with AEA's AWEDTG Wood-Fired Heat for Public Facilities analysis will provide a synergistic outcome not existing with other communities having individual agency grants. The objectives are the creation and retention of jobs, the creation of a sustainable new industry, strengthening local economies through substitution of imported fuel, developing renewable natural resources, providing value-added natural resources development and stabilizing and reducing the cost of energy. The first phase is to develop a socially acceptable, economically and ecologically sustainable and.reliable supply of wood simultaneously with development of the demand for wood use in McGrath. Installation of wood burning technology for heat and electricity will be required in a phased approach. Phase | of this pilot demonstration is focused on wood heat only in 1 McGrath. Phase II will expand to other villages in the M.T.N.T. region. Key equipment and infrastructure will be required to implement Phase I and funding will be actively sought as reflected above. This includes Technical support for two forestry, biology, business experts for one and a half years, Wood harvest equipment @ $500,000, and a Wood Yard with river landing haul-out @ $100,000. The city and school district will likely require two Garn boilers delivered @ $80,000 each, ready to plumb into existing systems. A‘building will need to be provided or constructed to house the Garn boiler at each location. No cost estimate. Current funding provides a number of technical support needs, including an in depth analysis of harvest equipment |. systems, transportation systems for both summer and winter and the development of contract language for specific business arrangements between wood owners, harvesters and suppliers. The fact that McGrath has a large amount of forest fire burned timber within reach by road.provides an easily accessible area that is ready for reclamation. The work plan that is underway for this project includes AVI incorporating the information that will be provided through close collaboration with the Wood-Fired Heat for Public Facilities analysis. Funding needed for that specific heating equipment & wood storage facilities for the city and school district will be identified by AEA's AWEDTG Analysis ---During July-Oct. 2007, a business structure for McGrath and surrounding MTNT villages is being developed, and AVI will determin potential for biomass export downriver. A summer ice-free river transportation analysis is being conducted. Continued local planning and community meetings will be held and contract template development wil take place. ---January and March 2008, there will be a winter transportation analysis completed. i AVI’s_ matching funds (2005-present) for the Yukon Flats area and now in July 2007, McGrath development total |” $807,000 including the McGrath RBEG grant of $73,531. - Submit by Email | Statement of Interest 468 In Developing an Alaskan Alternative-Renewable Energy or Energy Efficiency Project f= ALAS KA @G) ENERGY AUTHORITY Project Title: Fire Island Wind Project Organization: Alaska Wind Energy, LLC, dba Wind Energy Alaska (JV of CIRI and enXco Development Corp) Contact Name: Steve Gilbert Phone Number |+1 (907) 333-0810 Address: |6921 Howard Ave Fax Number City: Anchorage State: [ak Zip Code: [9504 Email: |steveg@enxco.com Instructions: Complete the information requested on this page.

State the problem being addressed by this project There are two primary problems addressed with the Fire Island wind project. First is south central Alaska is more than 90% ' dependent on natural gas for its power generation, As a power generation fuel, natural gas is a desirable resource and its use will | continue for many years. However, such heavy reliance on a single source is extremely unwise. Heavy dependence on natural gas for power generation has resulted in substantial volatility in the cost of power for consumers from Homer to the Matanuska Valley. Diversification is highly desirable. Fire Island will produce relatively flat priced power which | can readily be accepted by the Railbelt system. The second problem addressed by the Fire Island wind project is the opportunity to use it as a training facility. Alaskans will be able fearn first hand the operation and maintenance of wind turbines. The project concept includes an area set aside that could be used for training of people who will work on turbines in rural Alaska. Hands on training could be combined with classroom training through the University of Alaska for instance. Sustainability of energy projects in rural Alaska has long been an issue. The opportunity to do hands on training coupled with class room instruction strikes directly at the issue of sustainability for energy projects. 2. List the program objectives The project objectives include addressing South Central's overdependence on natural gas and helping to foster sustainable wind) projects in rural Alaska. { 3. What will be the impact to Alaska if this project is successful? Can the project be extended to other locations or applications? The potential impact of the Fire Island project is that it will help South Central electric customers diversify sources of power supply. When the cost of electricity rises it makes all goods and services more expensive. South Central Alaska is an important economic engine for the entire state. Promoting stable energy prices for the region will-have positive impact for the State as a whole. Additionally, the impact of training Alaskans to design, install and maintain alternative energy systems will benefit the region and | the state for generations.. 4, Brief Statement of work plan The Fire Island wind project is divided into two broad categories, infrastructure and wind turbine project. It is anticipated that most of the infrastructure costs will be met with public funding. The wind project funding would come from private sources. Once funding is in place, permitting of the infrastructure and wind project could proceed. There is some grant funding currently on hold with Anchorage ML&P that could be used to conduct much of the work required for permitting the transmission line. Concurrently, project participants, utilities and wind project builders, will enter into detailed discussions for purchase of the power. Sechedule 1. Construction ready design and bidding will require approximately 6 months. 2. Right of Way acquisition as been researched and is expected to require 3-6 months. . 3.

Most of this energy, especially in rural Alaska, derives from fossil fuels. Electricity and heat are the primary end-uses | This project aims to develop a replicable housing unit for rural Alaska that produces all of the energy it consumes on an annual basis. This production will come from locally available renewable energy resources. The impact from a successful project will be significant and widespread beyond just Alaska. Many groups.are working on similar projects and we intend to collaborate where possible, recognizing that rural Alaska has unique needs: and challenges with regard to construction, materials, and energy challenges. A workplan will consist of identifying best available technologies, other partners such as the Cold Climate Housing Research Center, design contratints, an engineering and evaluation team, performance standards, and construction timelines. Integrating appliances and mechanical systems within the structure will be a priority. The Yukon. River Inter-Tribal Watershed Council has recently received a three-year renewable energy and conservation grant from the US Administration for Native Americans (ANA) for a total of about $650,000. This grant will allow the YRITWC to establish an Energy Department that willl already be working on these issues.and provide significant funding match to this effort. Staffing and start-up costs will be eliminated and it is likely that an appropriate community, as well as best-fit technologies, will already be selected. We have developed partnerships with several leading renewable energy |: organizations that have committed to work with the YRITWC through the ANA grant, including the Alaska Building Science Network, Cold Climate Housing Research Center, University of Alaska Fairbanks, Renewable Energy Alaska Project, Alaska Housing Finance Corporation, Chena Hot Springs, and US Department of Energy-National Renewable Energy Laboratory.

These new kinds of fluids are shown to possess a much higher thermal conductivity, which enhances the convective heat transfer coefficient substantially in comparison to conventional heat transfer fluids. Therefore, they'can operate as a very successful building heat transfer fluid, automobile engine coolant, and in industrial heat exchangers, reducing the size of the heat transfer systems. Large amount of energy is used in Alaska for building heating. If nanofluids become successful it will have tremendous effect on reducing the initial cost of heating system. Reduction in liquid volume would reduce pumping power and thus diminish energy consumption. Nearly one third of the fuel consumption in the USA is in the transportation sector. Therefore, increasing the thermal efficiency of internal combustion (IC) engines to decrease the fuel consumption has always been an important part of transportation research Another need evolving rapidly is to decrease the pollutants in the emission of gasoline and diesel engines, which are more sever in the cold regions of the United States and the world. This effect is responsible for the increase in air pollution and the global climate change due to the emission of green house gas from automobiles. The research project described in this proposal addresses both of these issues. ; e.g. radiators, oil coolers, circulating pumps, thermostatic valves and pipings of automotive engines, and diesel engine driven ships and also in aircrafts where the gain would be from the reduction in weight of the heat transfer system and fluids. By heating the engine quickly using higher thermal conductivity fluid it is surmised that the cold start period will be shortened and emission of pollutants will be reduced, since pollutant emission is high during the cold start period. Also the passenger compartment will be heated sooner. In the first year of this project experiments will be performed.on various types of nanofluids to determine their thermo-physical properties and convective heat transfer to establish their thermal and pressure loss characteristics. Then, from these tests, several | nanofluids will be selected for engine applications. | In second year of this project, two experimnts will be performed. (i) a building heating coil in the air duct will be tested at UAF or at Cold Climate Housing Research Center; (ii) a diesel engine will be run using these nanofluids at UAF mechanical engineering lab. The goal would be to compare their performance with the conventional fluids used in cold regions, (e.g., ethylene glycol and ; water mixture). In the third year of the project, a comprehensive evaluation will be done to select the good candidate nanofluids on the basis of cost, performance, durability, and other design considerations determined from the studies of the previous phases. In all three years numerical modelirig studies will also be conducted to corroborate and supplement the data, with an eye toward evaluating how much nanofluids are superior to conventional heat transfer fluids. Information will be disseminated to the private and public sector via publications and presentations. It will educate Alaskan engineering students on new technology. It is a three year project with a budget of about $115 K per year| with two graduate students getting their master's or one student getting a doctoral degree from this research. i Statement of Interest In Developing an Alaskan ; ALASKA Alternative-Renewable Energy or Energy Efficiency Project ENERGY AUTHORITY Project Title: Alaska Woody Biomass Heating Projects Organization: Juneau Economic Development Council, JEDC (for ad hoc Alaska Wood Energy Development Task Group; MOU) .

Detailed Project Statement: 4. Problem Statement: Many/most local and tribal governements/agencies; schools/school districts, housing authorities, health clinics, etc. are facing critical budget shortfalls given the recent price spikes in fuel oils and propane. 2. Program Objectives: Assess the practicability/feasibility of using locally available woody biomass to displace petroleum fuels; assess local woody biomass resource availability; work with partners to install demonstration projects in key geographical areas around the state. Woody biomass can save money, create local employment opportunities and address local forest/wildlife management needs. 3. Impacts to Alaska/Project Extension: The Alaska Wood Energy Development Task Group (AWEDTG) is a group of 14 federal agencies, state agencies, and not-for-profit organizations operating under a MOU since 2005. AWEDTG has solicted Statements of Interest in wood heating projects (statewide) in each of the last 3 years, and, subcontracting through JEDC, has conducted (or is in the process of conducting) feasibility assessments of approximately 65 facilities in approximately 35 communities. As future funding is uncertain, AWEDTG is uncertain whether it can continue to offer such services in the future. Feasibility determination is the first step in developing a viable project. Feasible projects can then be moved into engineering/design phase (step 2), and finally into the construction phase as funds and local conditions warrant. JEDC, as the designated representative of the Alaska State Forester (J. Chris Maisch), submitted and secured the first Alaska application fora Forest Service-sponsored woody biomass grant in June 2007. This "Jumpstarting Wood Energy In Alaska" grant will provide financial assistance: 1. to the City of Tanana and _lonia, Inc to purchase and install high efficiency, low emission cordwood boilers, and 2. to the Haines Borough (school) and Gulkana Village Council to develop engineering plans for the installation of woody biomass heating systems. . High efficiency, low emission wood-fueled boilers are often a practical alternative to petroleum-based fuels in heating applications.. If the 65 facilities currently under consideration could all be converted to woaod-based fuel tomorrow, we would realize fuel.savings of approximately 1 MILLION gallons per year, and 65 faciities is not even the proverbial tip of the iceberg. However, the intial capital costs associated with these systems, given the high costs of transportaion and construction in Alaska, are significant. A typical, medium-sized, single cordwood boiler installation can easily run $100,000 to $150,000. Large, multiple cordwood boiler installions, off the road system, and/or with little or no pre-existing infrastructure can cost 2 to 3 times that amount. Large, automated wood chip systems, such as the one currently under construction in Craig, AK, will cost $1M to $2M. 4. Work Plan: Early 2008, solicit Statements of Interest in wood energy heating projects (direct mail campaign, radio spots, local newspapers). Spring 2008, receive SOls, distribute to AWEDTG review committee; review SOls, ‘select’ or reject projects for/from further consideration; notify applicants. Summer 2008: schedule and conduct site/field reconaissance. Fall/winter 2008: prepare and submit feasibility assessement reports. : 5. AWEDTG members convene to score SOls and determine which projects will receive further consideration. Successful applicants are not required to provide any match for feasibility determination. However, in the case of the Jumpstarting Wood Energy In Alaska grant, a minimum 1:1 match was required, which is appropriate.

Organization: Phone: Email: me: Organization: Phone: Email: Name: Organization: _ Phone: Email: 173 Project Title: End-use Efficiencies/Interior Village Organization: Interior Regional Housing Authority Detailed Project Statement: The villages served by IRHA experience some of the highest energy costs in the nation while earning incomes signfificantly below the national and state median incomes. Oil prices have increased 50% since the year 2000, exacerbating an already dire situtation. Energy consumption in rural Alaska is already significantly lower than in urban Alaska. The average houshold in rural Alaska uses 425kWH/month; the average urban houshold consumes 700kWH/month. IRHA believes a reasonable start to a long term energy strategy for the region is to further reduce the amount of energy consumed by indivduals and organizations. Individuals, provided with the proper resources, can exert some control over the costs they face, even while larger issues associated with costs are beyond their control. Recent studies indicate it is possible to reduce energy costs by 30% through end-use efficiencies IRHA would take a “whole village" approach to reducing energy consumption in its villages. IRHA would do an assessment of residences, community facilities and any commercial facilities. In order to reduce residential consumption, IRHA would do two things - change fixtures from incandescent to compact fluorescents, reducing the wattage by approximately 50% per household. There is a capital and labor cost for chaning out the fixtures that will result in long- term savings. IRHA recently. changed lighting fixutres in multiple homes in Anvik and Shageluk. at a cost of approximately $3000.00 per housheold. Wattage in Anvik was reduced from 865w to 496w and in Shageluk from 3160 to 406. In addition to changing fixutres in reidences, IRHA would work with the community to develop apprpriate energy savings measures throughout the community . This would be accomplished through town meetings and would result in a campaign of sorts to develop community buy-in and participation. IRHA would also assess community and- commercial facilites in thé community and assist those entities with design , construction and funding for retrofits as appropriate. IRHA would set up a monitoring process to measure success and to communicate with particpants. The monitoring will help assess whether the overall program is cost-effective in the long run. Assuming it is, the program could be applied throughout the region. Prior to selecting a site for the pilot project, a community's generating capacity and distribution system would need to be : assessed and an analysis conducted on whether reducing energy consumption in a community would have a negative. . impact on Power Cost Equalization fudning. Specific activities would include: Compiling community specific data _| Conduct research of existing programs/solutions that are appliicable to the area Develop examples of proven energy saving strategies relevant to the community Retrofit residences to accommodate compact flourescent bulbs Engage the communities in developing new and innovative ways to save energy ~ Coordinate with other agencies who fund energy management programs Monitor and report usage and associated costs for purposes of education, motivating action and reporting results The most signficant cost of the proposed project is the funds required to change lighting fixtures in residences. The cost is estimated at $3000.00 per household, and consists of $1000.00 - $50.00/per fixutre with an estimated 20 fixtures per housheold; $500.00 for incidentals, including life safety measures such as replacing broken switches, plates, and exposed wiring; $1500.00 labor, travel and per diem per houshold. Cost estimates are based on recent experience doing a small number of homes. It is anticipated that some economies of scale can be found should an entire community be retrofitted. For the purposes of this project, [RHA is estimating 170 households for the pilot project. According to the 2000 US Census data, Interior villages averaged 72 occupied households per village, with a low of 11(Birch Creek) and a high of 216 (Galena). Estimating 170 household s allows for a larger village to be slected for the project, or a number of smaller communities. IRHA has found it can reduce individual homeowner's utility costs, including wood, fuel oil, electricity and proane. In Huslia, IRHA homes built in 2005 demonstrated a monthly savings of $284.50 compared to IRHA homes built in 1998. the 2005 IRHA homes demonstrated energy savings of $501.70 over non-HUD homes. IRHA would like to apply this experience to entire community and develop a cost-effective program that will reduce energy costs in the villages. Statement of Interest In Developing an Alaskan .

This is due to both the high price of the diesel and heating fuels, as well as the delivery of these products to remote regions.in Alaska. Alternative energy utilizing local resources is needed for these communities if the current standard of living is to become sustainable. 1/6" of all U.S. forest resources are in Alaska, making biomass development extremely attractive. Most communities in the interior, southcentral, and southeast regions have accessible supplies of wood suitable for cordwood and wood chip production. Appropriate wood fueled heaters, boilers, and gasification installations have the potential for reducing fossil fuel consumption by 50% to 90%. Program Objectives: Key to the success of diese! displacement in interior Alaska with wood energy is development of an economically and ecologically sustainable supply of wood while simultaneously developing the demand for wood use in a demonstration village. Installation of wood burning technology for heat and electricity will be required in a phased approach. This program will require the coordination of village corporations, tribal entities, village government, school districts, utilities and federal and state agencies. AVI has taken the lead to successfully complete the planning of a demonstration project by working extensively with all relevant.entities. By implementing wood boilers, efficient wood stoves, and electrical power generation from biomass we will create cost savings for village residents and develop the market for wood utilization. At |- the same time, we are creating an efficient biomass harvest system capable of servicing the entire Yukon Flats subregion. Funds requested in this Letter of Interest will provide both supply and demand, thereby creating a economically sustainable system that will then be implemented in other villages in the Yukon Flats. AVI has been working with the Council of Athabascan Tribal Governments and GwitchYaa Zhee Corporation to develop an Integrated Biomass program in Fort Yukon and the Yukon Flats. This program will not only stabilize and reduce energy costs, it will provide for a locally sustainable energy production system that makes use of local renewable Tesources. Furthermore, development of an integrated biomass program creates local jobs from money currently leaving the local economy, improves wildlife habitat for critical subsistence species, and reduces wildfire fuel loads around the communities. Biomass programs will be designed to have a positive impact on the local environment, and will be completely sustainable on a fraction of village corporation lands in a perpetual harvest model. AVI has already completed thé draft business plan for the Yukon Flats biomass harvest company, and finalized the resource inventory to understand biomass composition, growth and yield data for GwitchYaa Zhee lands surrounding the community. The data developed in the past 18 months shows that the biomass program is ecologically, socially, culturally, and economically sustainable in the Yukon Flats. Impact to Rural Alaska: After completing development of the Fort Yukon demonstration project, we will work with CATG to develop biomass markets in other Yukon Flats villages. The harvest equipment is designed to be mobile using the river system as transportation infrastructure, and will be moved from one village to the next after meeting annual production quotas for each village which are expected to take 4-6 weeks at each site. After complete implementation and market penetration in the Yukon Flats, this integrated biomass program can be replicated in at least 75-100 other Alaskan villages. The |, feasibility analysis also indicates that once we have a working model to prove the economic data, conventional private capital can be used to finance harvest company equipment and operations in other communities. Workplan: AVI will utilize the funding to purchase and install gran boilers at key points in the community while marketing residential biomass alternatives to residents. AVI will then purchase the harvest equipment and form the harvest company in conjunction with GwitchYaa Zhee Corporation. A contract for access to sustainable biomass will be developed. Finally, in the summer of 2008, AVI, CATG, and GwitchYaa Zhee will implement the demonstration project in Fort Yukon and begin development of other markets in the Yukon Flats. Other Information: AVI is currently utilizing or has utilized substantial matching funds: Forest Stewardship funds frore DNR, grants from USDA-Natural Resources Conservation Service (approximately $650,000), & Alaska Marketplac’ award ($20,000). “184 Denali Commission 510 L Street, Suite 410 Anchorage, AK 99501 907.271.1414 tel 907.271.1415 fax 888.480.4321 toll free www. denali.gov July 2, 2007 David Dobler, President Sheldon Jackson College 801 Lincoln Street Sitka, AK 99835 Dear Rev. Dr. Dobler: | Thank y you for your recent proposal to carry out a Green Energy Conversion for Sheldon Jackson College. The project you describe promises significant cost savings and avoidance of the use of diesel fuel, which would undoubtedly help in the long-term viability of the College. : The Denali Commission Work Plan for the 2007 fiscal year, which was approved May 31, 2007, authorizes us to fund upto $5 million for alternative-renewable energy projects. We are currently crafting a Letter of Interést (LOD) in Alternative-Renewable Energy projects to develop an inventory of such projects that may be under development across the state. In tur, the inventory will help us determine an appropriate direction for funding and Requests for Proposal (RFP). Our target to release the LOI is July 9, 2007. Your detailed letter will serve as your response to the LOI, although you are also welcome to complete the form whenitis . - available. J will add your name to the list to receive the LOI when we issue it, and also for any subsequent RFP. Feel free to contact me if you have any further questions. Sincerely, “df Prcate Kathy Prentki Energy Program Manager 2 Sheldon J. Jackson ————GOLLEGE SITKA ALASK A Established in 1878 Mr. George Cannelos June 20, 2007 Federal Co-Chair Denali Commission Anchorage, Alaska . Dear Mr. Cannelos: Faced with maintaining a creaky and woefully inefficient oil-fired central heating system, we prepared an electric heat conversion request for Senators Stevens and Murkowski. Arliss Sturgulewski, a member of the Sheldon Jackson board, rioted that the Denali Commission had particular interest in renewable energy systems, and suggested that we present a brief proposal to you. . The Sheldon Jackson College Green Energy Conversion will provide a design-through- execution project that will install electrical high-efficiency room and water heating sub-systems for the central campus core. All National Historic Laridmark Buildings in the Quad core will be included in this new system, helping immeasurably to maintain their structural integrity and effective service life. ~ The deteriorated central steam heating system for the campus has outlived its design life by many years, and is currently operating at approximately 20% delivery efficiency. The direct replacement cost of the central’ steam system with a new steam system would be four times the cost of the electric heat plan and would be markedly less efficient due to thermal transmission line loss. The advantages to the College of this conversion, in terms of efficiency, reliability, and environmental impact, are great: : 1. The electrical generation, facility in Sitka is hydropower. This is a clean, non- polluting, renewable resource. The City and Borough of Sitka are actively promoting hydropower, and City administration endorses the’ Sheldon Jackson conversion to electric heat. The current commercial rate is a low $.09/KWH. 2. Electric heat is more.efficient than oil-fired heat. 3. The existing steam infrastructure is failing and is beyond reasonable repair. Current infrastructure servicing must come from out of state. 4, The campus will significantly reduce its contribution to the carbon loading of the atmosphere due to the combustion of fossil fuels. The steam plant currently consumes over 140,000 gallons of fuel oil’per year. Conversion to electric heet'd is expected to reduce that consumption by: up to 80%.

Based on existing thermal envelope analysis, the Quad buildings require 50 Btu per square foot for heating purposes. Total square footage under consideration: 40,581 (not including Allen Auditorium), 2. Estimated volume of fuel oil consumed to heat the project buildings per annum: - 113,163 gallons at $2.75/gal = $311,198/year. (Allen Auditorium is currently off- line and is not included in these consumption values). 3. Commercial electric rates are currently $.09/Kwh. Based on Btu equivalency values, these electric rates are equivalent to fuel oil costs of $3.25/gal. Relative operational efficiencies bring the equivalent rate value for oil down to $2.75/gal.(the current market price). 4. The nearly four-fold increase in operating efficiency, and the much lower maintenance costs of an electric system, lead to the significant savings and short amortization term of the initial project investment. Project cost recovery time is estimated at four years. 5. Conversion costs are estimated at $11.32/square foot based on the pilot project (the Stevenson Hall building on the Quad). Contingency values based on unforeseen infrastructure anomalies and supply cost increases could add up to 20% to the baseline value (up to a total of $13.58/square foot). ESTIMATE New electric baseboard heat and electric hot water service for the following Quad Buildings: Stevenson Hall, North Pacific Hall, Whitmore Hall, Fraser Hall, Laundry Building, Ceramics Building, Yaw Classroom Building. * System thermal envelope analysis confirmation and Btu baseline for each building to determine accurate system needs per building. ¢ Electrical mains, service and distribution panels, breakers, thermostats and control wiring, baseboard heaters, water heaters, conduit and wiring. * Installation contracted labor * Demo and disposal of existing in-room radiators and piping. * Electrical service from existing transformers and primaries, $459,377.00 Design engineering and project management $179,157.00 Contingency of 20% in anticipation of unforeseen infrastructure conditions, additional engineering assistance, and supply cost increases: $ 91,713.00 Quad conversion total: : $730,247.00 We would be pleased to provide a more detailed analysis and proposal.
