Agenda Comments The agenda is approved as presented. Revised draft 11/05/2013 Page 2 of 108 Renewable Energy Fund Advisory Committee Meeting Minutes Page 2 of 7 June 17, 2013 6. Approval of Meeting Minutes - April 4, 2013 Ms. Mitchell requested the approval of the meeting minutes from April 4, 2013 be moved to a later point in the meeting because she has not reviewed them yet. Chairman Rose stated the approval of the meeting minutes will be moved to after the break. ae Evaluation Process Review Mr. Skaling gave a historical review of the process AEA uses to evaluate applications. He included updated pieces of information in the packet. Senator Hoffman requested a breakdown of the areas that are entitled to the law by high energy cost, what they have received for the last 4.5 years and what is proposed. Mr. Skaling stated he will address that in his presentation and asked Senator Hoffman to ask the question again if it is not answered adequately. Chairman Rose asked if there was any plan to have economist Mr. Szymoniak complete more of the review process and if ISER would remain on contract in the future. Mr. Skaling stated Mr. Szymoniak will be used more in the future as the process is more streamlined inhouse, but ISER will continue to provide information. Chairman Rose asked Mr. Skaling to explain what it means for ISER to provide quality assurance reviews. Mr. Skaling stated they want to make sure all the economists are on a level playing field and using the same criteria and model. Mr. Skaling explained the scoring for Stage Two technical and economic evaluation with a minimum score of about 30 points to proceed to Stage Three, which is the ranking. Mr. Skaling stated the answer to Senator Hoffman's question has to do with the highest weighting score is the cost of energy in the community, which ranks as 35% of the total weight. Senator Hoffman commented at least 51% of funding should go to high energy areas of the state. He said that effort has failed miserably. Chairman Rose wanted everybody to understand, particularly the new members of the Committee, the project feasibility score from Stage Two is weighted currently at 20%. He stated there is a tug of war between the feasibility of the project and the statutory criteria of high cost of energy. Chairman Rose commented this underscores the need for making sure the applicant does not get out of Stage Two, unless they are technically and economically feasible. Senator Hoffman commented high energy costs have to be the number one priority. Chairman Rose agreed. Mr. Skaling believes most of the funding has gone to the high cost energy areas. Senator Hoffman differs with that opinion and requested Mr. Skaling provide the heat analysis he is referring to. Mr. Skaling stated he would provide the information. Chairman Rose asked Mr. Reeve if the technical assistance staff are providing outreach to high cost energy communities. Mr. Reeve stated this issue relates to regional planning. He said the Northwest Arctic Borough has an energy coordinator that is working to try to filter through projects, but believes there needs to be other forms of resources like project managers or other engineering companies brought in as well. Chairman Rose asked Mr. Skaling if that is Revised draft 11/05/2013 Page 3 of 108 Renewable Energy Fund Advisory Committee Meeting Minutes Page 3 of 7 June 17, 2013 happening internally at AEA. Mr. Skaling stated this is taking multiple forms, including technical assistance providers, program managers, community meetings and regional planning. He believes there is more that can be done. Senator Fairclough asked Mr. Skaling to provide the definition of a high cost energy community. Mr. Skaling stated a definition is currently being proposed, which would use the median weighted electrical cost of 20 cents per kWh as the dividing point. Anything above 20 cents is high and anything below 20 cents is low. Senator Hoffman believes the 20 cents median should be higher so the program money goes to the communities who are hurting the most. He suggested looking at Kotzebue, Dillingham, Barrow and Bethel to see what they are paying and above that is where the cutoff should be. Senator Hoffman believes by lowering the limit, it is allowing Mat-Su and Southeast into the program. He stated this program is for the high cost energy communities, who are struggling to make a living with $10 a gallon for fuel. Senator Fairclough stated the projects need to be cost effective and supports Senator Hoffman in making priority investments in rural Alaska. She stated Fairbanks is on the Railbelt and is experiencing high cost energy. She notes the focus of the program is for high cost of energy and moving to 50% renewable energy. Chairman Rose asked Mr. Skaling if there is a high energy cost definition for heat. Mr. Skaling stated on page 10 of 27 of the working draft shows the table with high energy cost of heat. If an area does not have natural gas, they are considered a high heat energy cost area. Ms. Mitchell commented the larger populations can sustain and support debt service and the smaller communities cannot. She stated the smaller communities lose their economic feasibility because of borrowing too much. She believes the focus needs to be on the smaller communities. Chairman Rose requested Mr. Skaling to explain the difference between how a community would be scored if they were 20 cents and 60 cents. Senator Hoffman commented communities who are paying 20 cents shouldn't be eligible. He stated there is a village that pays $1.17 and the people that are really hurting should be addressed. Mr. Skaling stated out of a score of 10, Nenana received a score of 2.8 at 22-cent power and Pedro Bay received a score of 10 at 91-cent power. Those numbers are then weighted as 35% of the total score. Senator Fairclough asked Mr. Skaling to explain what is happening inside the application process and why staff is making these weighted recommendations. Mr. Skaling stated the only part that has changed is modernizing the cost line based on what the current costs are. Chairman Rose suggested not calling the above 20-cent energy areas high cost energy areas, because it is confusing to say a 20-cent area is high cost, when the high energy cost areas are the areas Senator Hoffman is talking about, which are 50, 60, 70 cents. Mr. Reeve commented it might be appropriate to have another judging criteria based on the ability to finance and the size of the community, which could relate to a greater need of the program. Chairman Rose asked Mr. Skaling if the ability to finance is considered in Stage Two of the economic feasibility. Mr. Skaling stated matching funds is currently considered. Senator Fairclough asked Mr. Skaling what is being considered to ensure communities who do utilize Revised draft 11/05/2013 Page 4 of 108 Renewable Energy Fund Advisory Committee Meeting Minutes Page 4 of 7 June 17, 2013 this program are able to maintain the invested assets. Mr. Skaling stated the RFA and grant document has language that requires the grantee to maintain and operate the facility for its entire economic life. Senator Hoffman asked how these proposed application criteria are lowering the cost of energy in rural Alaska, which is the thrust of the bill. Senator Hoffman stated the primary issue is how to get rural Alaska to 20-cent energy. The secondary issue is sustainability. Mr. Reeve requested an update at some point on regional energy planning and current projects. Senator Fairclough asked Senator Hoffman if the state has not been investing enough so that the high cost energy communities can qualify or if the communities are not ready to submit an application. She asked if the high cost energy communities are applying and not succeeding or if they are not even applying. Senator Hoffman stated it is probably both. He said Eek, Alaska does not know what is available and they don't have the capacity to submit an application. Ms. Fisher-Goad stated there has been the effort to help communities be able to prepare applications. The two positions that were provided for FY13 have been filled. They have been working with communities and regional planning to ensure they can operate and maintain the projects that go in. Ms. Fisher-Goad stated this is one way AEA is addressing the high cost of energy. She said there are other programs including the powerhouse, the distribution system and the bulk fuel tank farms which are part of a portfolio of projects to address the issue. Ms. Fisher- Goad stated she is happy to work with Senator Hoffman and specific communities with respect to additional assistance they need and what AEA can provide. Senator Hoffman stated he would like 20-cent power statewide. Ms. Fisher-Goad stated that was one of the recognitions of the Power Cost Equalization Program, which does provide less than 20-cent per Kwh for a portion of the Kw that are sold in a community. Mr. Reeve commented that heat is still a problem. Ms. Fisher-Goad stated they want to address heat differently and want to continue to emphasize heat, especially in the areas that have high cost of diesel heating fuel. Senator Hoffman appreciates all the work Ms. Fisher-Goad has done. He stated the Committee members have a lot more work to be done regarding the high cost of heat energy in villages who are hurting the most and is not concerned about regional balance. Chairman Rose stated regional balance is in the statute and has to be addressed. Chairman Rose requested a color-coded graph be developed which shows where the funding has gone based on the cost of energy in the communities. Ms. Fisher-Goad stated the information is available and the graph can be provided. Senator Hoffman suggested a delay on finalizing this scoring criteria recommendation until the next meeting, because of serious concerns the intent of the law is not being followed. He would like to continue to look at this process, without holding up the issuance of the applications. 8. Review Draft Round 7 RFA and Application Forms Revised draft 11/05/2013 Page 5 of 108 Renewable Energy Fund Advisory Committee Meeting Minutes Page 5 of 7 June 17, 2013 Mr. Skaling stated there is only going to be one request form for either of the two application forms. The applicant will request a heat application or an application for anything other than heat, such as electricity or a transmission project. The heat applications and all other applications will be reviewed separately and will have separate recommendation lists to the Legislature. Mr. Reeve suggested the information from Item #5 be reported in terms of BTUs saved, as opposed to the variable cost of heat. Mr. Skaling stated REFAC recommended changing the data requirement from 5 years to 10 years. He stated there has been a good discussion and debate on whether to make that change, how that change would be made and what level of information is required. Senator Fairclough wants 10 years' worth of data collection included in these application changes. Ms. Fisher-Goad stated AEA wants to make sure the acquisition of the data is not burdensome for the projects and the information is relevant. Mr. Skaling said getting 10 years' worth of data is included in the current applications. Chairman Rose recommended having a separate work session to determine what data points to collect and who will analyze the data collection. 9. Discussion Points from Previous Meeting 9.a. Funding Resource Assessments for Emerging Tech Chairman Rose suggested to staff to make it clear to proposers in the next application period that they can apply for money to do resource assessments for emerging technology like river hydrokinetics, tidal and wave power. They will have to go back to the EETF to actually fund a pilot project. Senator Fairclough asked if the funding for resource assessments for emerging technologies would help or hinder Senator Hoffman's communities by reducing the availability of funds. Mr. Skaling thinks it could do both, depending on the situation. Senator Fairclough asked if there is consideration of parameters of how much money will be invested in the assessments. Mr. Skaling stated on page 10 of 27 in the Request for Application Draft, under Eligibility of Resource Assessments for Emerging Energy Technologies, it outlines the process and recommendations. There is a recommendation of a maximum target of 4% of the fund for any given year for these assessments. Senator Fairclough suggested modifying the language to include the words "may award from 0 to 4%," so there is not an expectation of automatic approval. The will of the Committee is to include the section and change the title to Eligibility of Resource Assessments for Wave, Tidal and In-River Hydrokinetic Systems in the Request for Application Draft with the modifications discussed. Mr. Reeve asked if there is a way to get a global resource assessment of all of the areas that are available. Chairman Rose stated the resource assessment is specific to a particular area and not Revised draft 11/05/2013 Page 6 of 108 Renewable Energy Fund Advisory Committee Meeting Minutes Page 6 of 7 June 17, 2013 for the whole state. The resource assessments would be discreet and tie in with a potential EETF pilot project. 9.b. Excluding Heat Recovery as Eligible Project Chairman Rose stated this issue is about what the Committee and AEA wants to emphasize. He believes the heat recovery projects are some of the best projects that have been funded, but should be funded from another source of money because they are not renewable energy projects, even though they are eligible projects under the statute. Ms. Mitchell believes heat recovery projects should remain eligible until there is another source of funding available. Chairman Rose posed the question of why the state doesn't have its own funding mechanism to have a heat recovery project for every single diesel system in the state. He does not believe the money should be coming from the Renewable Energy Fund. He requested a concrete discussion on the issue. 9.c. Requiring Project Performance Standards Chairman Rose stated he wanted to keep this issue on the agenda and it could either be called project performance or project design and it ties into the data collection discussion. He recommended that a minimum requirement of design criteria should eventually be part of the application in order to target the technologies that are really working. Chairman Rose wants to brainstorm on how to incentivize project performance. 10. Committee Member Comments Mr. Reeve stated having a workshop is a good idea to discuss these issues. MOTION: Senator Fairclough moved to approve the meeting minutes from April 4, 2013, Renewable Energy Fund Advisory Committee meeting. Seconded by Ms. Mitchell. The minutes were approved as amended. Senator Fairclough stated it is a privilege to be part of this Committee and will ask questions without embarrassment of not knowing. She believes in a process that should have all opinions on the table. Senator Fairclough stated she joins Senator Hoffman in wanting to make sure rural Alaska has the opportunity to have lower cost energy, while still having some regional consideration to funds. She said the state's financing ability is being restricted and if there are not other opportunities for the people of Alaska, the funding will continue to stay tight. Ms. Mitchell stated she is appreciative of the program and have done a good job of policing the grants. She said she is proud of what has been done. Chairman Rose thanked staff for all of the work and preparation for the meeting and for making the July Ist deadline for the application. iT: Next Meeting Date Revised draft 11/05/2013 Page 7 of 108 Renewable Energy Fund Advisory Committee Meeting Minutes Page 7 of 7 June 17, 2013 The next meeting was suggested to be within a few months and held as a workshop with the Alaska Center for Energy and Power to provide ideas on how best to acquire data. Chairman Rose will contact members to determine the best date for the next meeting. 12.

The community of Juneau recently received a $7 million grant from Alaska Department of Commerce, Community and Economic Development to construct the new library in Juneau’s Mendenhall Valley. The City & Borough of Juneau Assembly is interested in reducing the carbon footprint of Juneau and reducing the operating costs of their facilities. The use of a geothermal HVAC system rather than traditional oil-fired boilers and chillers provides an opportunity to achieve both goals of the City & Borough of Juneau and to expand the use of renewable energy in city facilities.

The building included for the Nenana Native Council is the Youth Educational Resource Center (YERC), which houses the Early Learning, Head Start, and Youth Center programs. The school district buildings included in the project are the Nenana City Public School, the Administration Building, the Warehouse/Vocational Education Building, and the Nenana Student Living Center. Though the Nenana Student Living Center is located approximately six blocks from the Nenana City Public School, the “Pre-Feasibility Assessment” states, “The additional energy saved by connecting several buildings together offsets the significant additional cost of underground piping and pumping costs. . . . Even with the significant piping costs, the extra pumping energy, and the extra wood fuel needed to offset the heat loss of the long pipe runs, this option remains the strongest relative to other options.” (p. 2 & 3 of 13) Funding & Cost Total Project Cost: $3,244,225 Price of Electricity: $0.22 /kWh Requested Grant Funds: $367,965 Price of Fuel: $4.06 /gal Matched Funds Provided: Total In-Kind Match Provided: $25,800 =) === oP, 5 10/30/2013 6:10:18 PM X \ Revised draft 11/05/2013 Page 17 of 108 7 : Alaska Renewable Energy Fund: Round 7 - Preliminary j= ALASKA. Resource: Biomass Proposed Design Proposer: Craig City School District Project Phase: Construction AEA Program Manager: Helen Traylor Applicant Type: Government Entity Applicant Project Description: Energy Region: Southeast This project will consist of engineering and layout, acquiring the machinery and installation of fuel delivery systems and biomass boilers to be integrated into the existing heat system of the Craig High School and thus eliminate the use of oil for fuel. The system will use dried wood fuel from the AEA funded dryer at Viking Lumber and benefit Viking by expanding the market base for dry wood fuel. The installed boilers would heat the 52,219 square foot high school using wood chips generated by operations at a local lumber mill. Feedstock for the mill and the resulting wood chips comes from timber logged from the nearby Tongass National Forest, Southeast Alaska State Forest, Alaska Native Corporation lands and other private lands. The project is similar in scope for the Craig Wood Fired Boiler and will share an existing contract to provide wood chips for the boiler. A Preliminary Feasibility Assessment for Conversion from Fossil Fuel Oil to Wood Heating for the Craig High School, Craig, Alaska was prepared for the Craig city School District by Robert Deering, Biomass Program Manager, USDA Forest Service, Tongass National Forest.

The expansion and renovation, which will increase floor space approximately 5,000 sq. ft, will require the replacement of the current ventilation system. While the HVAC must be replaced, the base case assumptions include the retaining of the current fuel oil boilers, the use of natural cooling supplemented with air-cooled compressor unit, separate conventional variable air volume ventilation systems for the museum, auditorium, and office units, and thermal upgrades that would decrease energy consumption by 20% relative to the current structure. The six air-to-water heat pump units would be situated outdoors and a variable refrigerant flow (VRF) system would pipe refrigerant to the 16 indoor fan coils to provide heating or cooling to the building. Ventilation air would be supplied by energy recovery ventilators that transfer heat from the exhaust or relief air to the fresh air being supplied to each fan coil unit. The outdoor heat pump assembly would be housed within a louvered enclosure to protect the equipment and lessen noise issues.

The existing oil fired boilers have reached the end of their useful life and need to be replaced. The effluent, with an average temperature nearing 50°F, passes by the boiler room, easing the integration of the heat resource. The effluent from the wastewater treatment plant would pass through an in-line screen prior to going through a stainless steel plate-and-frame heat exchanger; an antifreeze solution would be heated by the effluent on the other side of the heat exchanger. The refrigerant from the 868 MBH water-to-water heat pump unit would be heated by the antifreeze solution in the evaporator. Using the vapor compression cycle, the heat pump would then "lift" this heat to 115°F during the compression cycle, and then transfer that heat to the condenser loop to supply heating appliances. 220 gallons per minute of effluent will be required to provide sufficient heat to the evaporator under design load conditions. A variable frequency drive on the existing recycled effluent pump will provide the correct flow of effluent to the heat exchanger under varied heat load conditions. As the Wastewater Treatment Plant is currently designed for 180°F in its heating system, the air handlers, unit heaters, cabinet unit heaters, and baseboard heaters would need to be replaced to increase the amount of surface area of heating coils to compensate for the 115F temperature hydronic water supplied by the heat pump system. Backup heat would be supplied by a new 955 MBH fuel oil boiler in conjunction with a storage tank.

We anticipate the result of greatly reduced heating costs for the schools and associated buildings. Thorne Bay School received a grant in 2009 to install two Garn wood fired boiler units, and while the system has been operating, it has proven too small for the job. The units currently in use, (proto-types), can easily be moved with a forklift, so part of the proposal is to install them at two other school sites, Whale Pass and Hollis Schools. In order to heat the facility in Thorne Bay which includes a teacher housing unit and a hydroponic greenhouse, the current system would be replaced with 2 Garn 3200's, and a structure built to house the boilers. Very little reconstruction would be necessary in Thorne Bay due to the portability of the current Garn Pacs. In Whale Pass and Hollis, structures would be built to house the boilers. Wood storage buildings will also be constructed. At Naukati School we would install a wood fired boiler and build the housing for it as well as for wood storage. The Naukati School is the same size as Howard Valentine School, Coffman Cove, in our district, where we have an operating Garn system. Naukati will be modeled after the Coffman Cove set-up. Money saved on the fuel costs will be re-invested in the school, resulting in more direct service to our students.

ENERGY AUTHORITY Resource: Heat Pumps Proposed Design Proposer: City and Borough of Sitka Project Phase: Construction AEA Program Manager: Alan Baldivieso Applicant Type: Applicant Project Description: Energy Region: Southeast The City and Borough of Sitka is applying for design and construction of a sea water source heat pump system to displace 100% of the heating oil usage of the existing 11,000 sq ft historic Sage Memorial Building that has been home to the Sitka Sound Science Center (SSSC) since 2010. The Science Center has already conducted significant feasibility and reconnaissance work on this project. With the help of the Rasmuson Foundation and Foraker Group, they have conducted an energy audit, a heat pump evaluation, and a master plan for the facility. A significant amount of funds have been raised to improve the energy efficiency of the structure through renovations of roof, windows and exterior. These renovations will compliment the project proposed here. Raw sea water flow of up to 85 gallons per minute will serve as the heat source. The sea water is drawn from a depth of 65 ft via an existing 8” intake line and shoreside pump station. A buried manifold pipe delivers sea water in to the basement of the building where the heat pump system will be located. The sea water will transfer heat thru a titanium plate heat exchanger to a glycol loop that in turn will serve as the source side of the new heat pumps. Three 84,000 BTU/hour high efficiency water to water heat pumps will be installed in the existing mechanical room. The existing heating oil boiler and electric boiler will be replaced by the three new heat pumps. On the load (hot) side of the heat pumps, two buffer tanks will be heated from 115F to 145F, these will in turn supply hydronic heat to new low temperature baseboards also included in the project. A heat pump controller will modulate the temperature of the hydronic heat based on outdoor air temperature. This project will be the first sea water source heat pump system in Sitka, and the first water source heat pump system in Sitka to displace 100% of its existing annual heating oil and electric resistance heat. The proposed heat pump system is anticipated to perform with a seasonal COP of 3 or greater, due in great part to the reliably warm sea water from Sitka Sound.

The second building is the Zamboni garage which would approximately 1 ,400 square feet. The heating loop will connect to the Tok School Biomass Plant that was completed in the fall of 2010. (The Tok School Biomass Plant was developed using AEA Round I Grant Funding. The project consisted of a Biomass heating facility that contained an automated biomass heating system that now provides heat to the existing K-12 School.) Since the completion of the Tok School Biomass Plant a steam turbine and electrical generation system have been added to create a combined heat and power (CHP) system. The original biomass boiler was sized to allow for the CHP expansion and the additional load of the multipurpose building and Zamboni garage. The CHP project was completed the fall of 2012. When the CHP system is in operation it generates a substantial amount of heat as a byproduct. The heat created currently surpasses the required heat demand of the existing K-12 School. The intent is to recover the surplus heat and supply it to meet the heating demand of the additional buildings mentioned above. The cost for maintenance and operation as well as for biomass fuel will be negated for this project due to the current operation of the CHP system.

Resource: Biomass Proposed Design Proposer: City and Borough of Yakutat Project Phase: Construction AEA Program Manager: Helen Traylor Applicant Type: Local Government Applicant Project Description: Energy Region: Southeast Primary heat sources in three municipal publicly accessible buildings will be replaced with two Garn WHS2000 boilers, which will use locally sourced cordwood biomass to provide heat through a supply loop linking all buildings. Existing antiquated hydronic heating systems in each building will be replaced and upgraded to improve efficiency an estimated 25%. Concurrent to this project, VEEP projects (Yakutat is a 2013 VEEP recipient) will be conducted to increase envelope efficiency per AEA statewide goal of 15%. AEA-required performance metering is addressed through ACEP subcontract. With significant local match and good project partners, we are seeking the funding for Phases III and IV: final design, purchase and installation of 2 Garn WHS2000 boilers, pipe installation and associated link up plumbing to all three buildings in the district heating loop. The project also includes construction of a separate boiler building and a cordwood storage/drying building. Per standard practice, existing oil furnaces will remain as supplemental and emergency back-up heat systems. The City and Borough of Yakutat, along with Yak-tat-Kwaan, want to ensure that we install the most effective technologically and economically appropriate equipment for our biomass district heating loop. We are pleased to have the interest of Garn Boiler Company in participating in this application based on the estimate for the equipment they suggested as most appropriate for the buildings involved. Garn has a proven track record of installing and operating their equipment in several locations in Alaska, including at least two that we know of in the coastal SE Alaska environment. It is our plan to also closely monitor developments in the biomass energy world, and we recognize that this technology sector is evolving. During the 9th month period of AEA review, legislative approval and appropriation, CBY and Yak-tat-Kwaan will continue to monitor technological development. One of our goals for the project is to link Yak-tat Kwaan’s forest management program and the biomass products produced with the installed boiler technology and have the best opportunity for expansion and integration of future biomass projects. CBY is prepared to operate and maintain this project, and has demonstrated ability to operate energy infrastructure through the electric utility, Yakutat Power.

Currently, each school’s hot water heater is part of the heating plant, which is separate from each building. For example, the Kotzebue school’s hot water is heated indirectly with hot glycol from a boiler module, which also provides space heating. The boiler water heats the school’s two huge plate and frame heat exchangers where the schools glycol/water-heating medium is heated. Hot glycol is then circulated through a plate type heat exchanger (for 115 degree water) and an Amtrol hot water maker for 140-degree hot water. During the warmest months of the school year, the school must run a boiler to make hot water. One boiler contains 385 gallons of water, the piping that connects it with the plate and frame heat exchangers contain approximately 200 gallons. Thus there are times when the school does not need space heating, but does have need for hot water; just as all the other school’s do.

ENERGY AUTHORITY Resource: Solar PV Proposed Construction Proposer: Northwest Arctic Borough Prolect Ehare AEA Program Manager: David Lockard Applicant Type: Local Government Applicant Project Description: Energy Region: Northwest Arctic This project expands on a previous Feasibility study that has been ongoing for 3 years. In 2010 a Single 175W Solar Array was installed at the proposed location to see if Solar PV would be feasible for the Northwest Arctic. The panel has been facing south-east and is connected to a single En phase inverter that is Cogenerating with the Kotzebue Electric Association (KEA) grid. It was found that it produced 165 Kwh during 1 year average @ $ 0.54/Kwh this equals a savings of$ 89.10/year. A build-out of the array to 10 Kw would save the Northwest Arctic Borough approximately $5,091.66/year in electric bills. This would also be a good match as the Borough operate mainly day time, when the sun is available. The project aims to match the load of the building and offset just enough energy to try to get to stop the electric meter, this is important as we do not want to be paid for any generated electricity by the KEA Coop. The project would consist of 42 pc. 240 watt panel, for a total of 10 KWatts configured on the roof of the building in a configuration to match the load of the building. It would be a "fixed" array, non tracking. It would also be configured in 2 directions, southeast and south, to match the electric needs of the building, so not to overproduce with one large peak power during the day. Each individual panel will have it's own Aurora micro-inverter. The entire array will be displayed and monitored on a website that can be accessed for educational purposes.

Resource: Wind Proposed Feasibility Proposer: Karluk Tribal Council Project Phase: Design AEA Program Manager: Rich Stromberg Applicant Type: Government Entity Applicant Project Description: Energy Region: Kodiak Karluk is located on the west cost of Kodiak Island in Alaska. The village is cut-off from any road system. Fuel oil has to be shipped by barge to Karluk. Therefore, it is a high energy cost village with fuel oil at 4.92 $/gal. This project will perform a feasibility study and complete the design & permitting for a wind energy system and a heat recovery system to serve the existing power plant in Karluk, Alaska. For the wind energy system, wind data from a meteorological monitoring tower already installed at the proposed wind turbine location will be available for the analysis and design.

Project Phase: AEA Program Manager: Alan Baldivieso Applicant Type: Utility Applicant Project Description: Energy Region: Kodiak The Flywheel Energy Storage Systems (FESS) for Kodiak Pier Electric Crane is the installation and integration of two (2) ABB modular PowerStore flywheel energy storage units at the City of Kodiak’s Pier III. Modernizing Kodiak’s shipping infrastructure with an electric crane instead of a diesel-powered crane requires KEA to install the two new ABB flywheel energy storage systems, each with one (1) megawatt (MW) of generating capacity, in order to safely integrate the crane’s electrical load demand onto KEA’s isolated grid. This project allows KEA to be the energy solution for the communities of Kodiak Island by making it possible to power a critical component of the City with locallygenerated. clean renewable energy. The versatile grid | \stabilizing flywheel generator would mitigate the sudden increase in electric load caused by the operation of a high!) powered electric cargo crane, and would also supplement KEA’s existing Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) for systemwide electric grid support and conserve water utilized at the hydro facility. By being first/1in line to respond to rapid micro! second grid frequency fluctuations, the FESS optimizes the range of frequency and voltage support provided by KEA’s other renewable generation, thereby making KEA’s entire grid system more robust. This project is the next step in advancing KEA’s renewable energy vision for the benefit of all Alaskans by bringing renewable energy to more sectors of Kodiak Island and by demonstrating a new energy storage technology in Alaska.

(QED ENERGY AUTHORITY Resource: Geothermal Proposed Feasibility Proposer: Inside Passage Electric Cooperative Project Phase: AEA Program Manager: Alan Baldivieso Applicant Type: Utility Applicant Project Description: Energy Region: Southeast The Reconnaissance Study of Tenakee Inlet Geothermal Resource funded by Alaska Energy Authority Renewable Energy Grant #7040073 was completed in July 2013. The reconnaissance study was the first time this geothermal resource had been significantly studied. The surface expression of the resource is four hot springs that occur together near the base of a hill approximately 200 feet high in a rugged, isolated, stream valley on Chichagof Island in southeast Alaska. During the field effort in September 2011, the hot springs had surface water temperatures of between 1610F to 1760F. Geochemical sampling of water and soil, a shallow temperature survey, and geological mapping occurred in this first field effort. Later fieldwork in the spring and summer of 2012 included infrared imaging of the area, additional shallow temperature survey, and CO2 gas survey. Table 1 presents the various field efforts that were conducted as part of the reconnaissance study. A conceptual mode of the system, and several scenarios for development were completed. A preliminary environmental and a preliminary economic analysis were also prepared for the reconnaissance phase. The reconnaissance study concluded: -The chalcedony geothermometer indicates that the hot spring fluids have encountered temperatures on the order of 2400F to 2600F. - Hot spots were identified across Tenakee Creek approximately 150 feet north of the hot springs with shallow soil temperatures greater than 600F and up to 890F indicating a broader geothermal zone than just the hot springs. - Lineations and tectonics suggest that the hot springs were developed due to wrenching of the cross-cutting lineations. - Earthquake data, Cretaceous igneous intrusive and high regional heat flow indicate that there is some permeability in the bedrock and potentially a high geothermal gradient. U Development scenarios ranged from $49M to $63M including transmission line and access road. Based on 2012 IPEC fuel prices and extrapolating to future fuel costs the benefit-cost ratio was calculated as 0.93 for a 50-year life span. Using standard AEA fuel projections and a 50-year life span the benefit-cost ratio was calculated as 0.73. These benefit-cost ratios include the impact of energy produced by the proposed Gartina Falls hydropower project. The data collected during the reconnaissance suggests that the geothermal resource is viable and can produce base load power. The surface temperature of the hot springs is hotter than Chena Hot Springs reservoir fluids. The calculated fluid temperature (based on chalcedony concentrations) at depth are in the range of binary power plant operations. The discovered springs, seeps, and hot spots as well as the tectonic regime of the area suggests adequate permeability at depth to support a geothermal power plant. Further work is needed to verify the geothermal and economic viability of the project. The purpose of this phase of the project is to further evaluate the viability of the geothermal resource by 1) obtaining Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data to locate faults and obtain topographical information for design; 2) drill two slim holes to about 2,500 feet each and conduct well testing; 3) conduct an environmental assessment to address agency and environmental issues; 4) prepare a conceptual design to develop the resource; and 5) refine the economic analysis based on the conceptual design and more detailed economic parameters. The primary goal of the site work during this phase would be to collect the information needed to verify resource viability and evaluate whether this project should be considered for Phase 3 investigation and development. The drill holes will be approximately 10 inches in diameter necking down to approximately 2.5 inch core hole. Each well will have a temperature/pressure survey conducted and rock chip samples will be analyzed for fluid inclusions and alterations. If the wells penetrate the reservoir we will conduct flow tests on the wells and collect water samples for chemical analysis. The location, depth, size and flow characteristics are important parameters that determine the viability of the geothermal resource. Evaluating those parameters was beyond the scope of the Phase 1 reconnaissance study. If found viable, the results of this Phase 2 investigation would provide information necessary to support the development phase of the project.

The PV system will generate clean, renewable power for decades to come, reducing the amount of electricity the school buys from the local utility and reducing pollution associated with burning fossil fuels. The system will also provide an opportunity for the school’s students and the wider community to learn about PV. The system will be composed of (200) 250-watt photovoltaic (PV) collector panels (e.g. Solarworld 250W monocrystalline or equivalent), 50 kW DC to AC power inverter capacity (multiple smaller inverters, e.g. SMA Sunnyboy 6000TL) and a data acquisition system with a graphical display inside the building and accessible through the Internet. The panels will be wired in multiple DC series circuits called strings. The strings will be wired to a combiner box, then connect to the power inverter(s) which transforms the DC power into AC power suitable for use by the building’s existing electrical system. The inverter assures that the PV generated power is compatible with the power supplied by the utility grid and will disconnect from the electrical system in the event of a utility power outage to prevent “back feed” to the utility grid. The proposed system is sized to supplement current electric usage and peak demand only, as it will not store power. The proposed system will be interconnected with the electrical system and controlled to “follow” the existing systems’ electrical characteristics. A dedicated data acquisition system tied directly to the inverter will display the performance of the PV system and describe how it works through a dedicated live display setup in the lobby. A revenue grade utility meter will also be installed on the PV system to accurately measure the power generated. The existing electric systems supply 208-volt, three phase power for larger loads and 120-Vvolt, single-phase for most of the distributed loads from a three phase service provided by NEA. The average monthly electric demand for the school is approximately 137 kW.

ENERGY AUTHORITY Resource: Wind Proposed Feasibility Proposer: City of Adak, Alaska Project Phase: AEA Program Manager: Rich Stromberg Applicant Type: Local Government Applicant Project Description: Energy Region: Aleutians The proposed project is for wind field data collection, analysis and preliminary engineering design. Wind field data collection will require a one year collection period as recommended by AEA for location of wind generators. The wind data will be analyzed and used for the design of the wind generators and related facilities. The City of Adak has completed a hydroelectric power feasibility analysis and preliminary engineering prepared by McMillen LLC. The report recommends hydro — wind generation with pump storage development project that includes hydroelectric power generation, raising the Lake Bonnie Rose and Lake DeMarie dams, construction of the penstock, powerhouse (2 MW hydro), transmission lines, wind generation (4.5 MW), wind pump from L. DeMarie to L. Bonnie Rose storage, and associated facilities. Both lakes are in the same watershed. The hydro - wind generation with pump storage project will supply hydro and wind generated power to the community as well as pump water to the higher elevation Lake Bonnie Rose to store potential energy for conversion into hydropower generation to the community to meet demand (a buffering effect). The next step in the development process is wind field data collection and analysis to design the wind generation system. The hydropower feasibility component and preliminary engineering design is complete in the McMillen report.

(AVEC), to add a solar energy component to the existing diesel power generation system that serves the community. Northwest arctic Borough will construct a new 52.5 kW array of 210 pe. 250W, Photovoltaic (PV) modules in Noatak, Alaska. The array will be inclined at 34 degrees from May through September, and 90 degrees the remainder of the year to take advantage of the solar angle at this northerly location. The annual power production of the array is estimated to be approximately 49,500 kWh (with shading). The solar array will be located on a lot of land under discussion near the powerplant. A Feasibility study was performed for a system of similar size in 2008, see attached. A request for funding was turned in at that time for round 1, Renewable Energy Fund. Since that time fuel prices have increased and equipment( Solar Arrays) have come down in price. This have made the project more economically feasible. Considering that no other renewable energy option is available for Noatak as Wind and Hydro is below development stage, Solar-PV is a good match for this community. Additionally Solar-PV is being successfully installed and integrated for the regions Water-plants to help offset the use of Diesel fuel and lower the cost of living.

ENERGY AUTHORITY Resource: Hydrokinetic Proposed Feasibility Proposer: City of False Pass Project Phase: AEA Program Manager: Alan Baldivieso Applicant Type: Local Government Applicant Project Description: Energy Region: Aleutians The City of False Pass requests Alaska Energy Authority (AEA) funding through the Renewable Energy Grant Program (RFA 2014-006) to complete Phase II Feasibility Analysis and Conceptual Design Requirements (Project) for a proposed tidal energy project at False Pass in the Isanotski Straight. The City of False Pass, like most communities of the Aleutian Islands, depends on diesel fuel to meet their electricity and heating needs. While diesel fuel is currently the most practical option for such communities, it also creates economic, energy security and environmental problems—it has a disproportionately high carbon dioxide (CO2) output compared to other power generation systems—at both local and global levels. The City of False Pass, fortunately, is situated near a significant hydrokinetic (tidal) resource at the Isanotski Straight that offers a potential to significantly reduce, or eliminate, the use of diesel fuel. The viability of this resource was confirmed through a reconnaissance study funded by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Tribal Energy Program that included measurement of the current velocities in the vicinity of False Pass through a full lunar cycle. This Project proposes to build on the completed reconnaissance study to accelerate efforts to develop this tidal energy resource. The following goals will be achieved in this Project: (1) measure current velocities and collect turbulence data at 3-5 sites selected for potential deployment of tidal turbines based on University of Alaska (UAA) circulation modeling, (2) analyze the data from the field effort including extending UAA modeling efforts to select the optimal site(s) for tidal turbine placement, (3) collect existing environmental data and develop draft environmental study plans in consultation with regulatory agencies, (4) initiate stakeholder outreach efforts, (5) collect additional geophysical data required to inform engineering of the project, and (6) complete a conceptual design and economic analysis for a tidal energy project at False Pass. The Project Team is comprised of the City of False Pass; Aleutian Pribilof Islands Association, Inc. (APIA); Aleutian Pribilof Islands Community Development Association (APICDA); University of Alaska Anchorage (UAA); Benthic GeoScience, Inc.; National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and ORPC Alaska, LLC (ORPC).

Further study will take place during Phase I of this project to assess the measure of insolation in our location, to determine how much sunlight will be available for solar panels to convert into electricity and how many hours of peak sunlight the location receives per day, making adjustments for Net Metering with the local power company, or for a battery-storage system. We will assess the number of devices that will be electrically powered in total for both buildings, and the total kWh and wattage consumption of these devices. An assessment must also be performed to determine an accurate cost for both buildings’ heating fuel requirements. Once a thorough energy cost assessment has been completed, Phase I will meld into Phase II as further assessments are implemented to develop cost evaluations for installing a solar electric system to successfully power total electric energy consumption requirements, as well as solar energy systems to manage both buildings’ heating needs, taking into account plausible separate and hybrid systems. Phase II will also entail developing a detailed evaluation intended to further assess the technical, economic, financial, and operational viability of the project. Phase II will be completed by narrowing the focus of our final ground mounted solar panel design and construction plans, to prepare for future final design and implementation of the Project, and establish pre-construction equipment, shipment costs, time-frames etc. Funding & Cost Total Project Cost: $2,000,000 Price of Electricity: $0.59 /kWh Requested Grant Funds: $800,000 Price of Fuel: /gal Matched Funds Provided: Total In-Kind Match Provided: $120,000 Election District: BELTS er a Bee. ) LD. ‘| - 10/30/2013 6:08:37 PM JZirrnrt | Revised draft 11/05/2013 Page 84 of 108 Alaska Renewable Energy Fund: Round 7 - Preliminary J = ALASKA.

ENERGY AUTHORITY Resource: Wind Proposed Feasibility Proposer: Alaska Village Electric Cooperative, Inc. Project Phase: AEA Program Manager: Josh Craft Applicant Type: Utility Applicant Project Description: Energy Region: Lower Yukon-Kuskokwim AVEC proposes to complete a conceptual design report (CDR) for a wind energy project in Mountain Village. This project will move the project towards the goal of reducing fuel usage by establishing a renewable energy resource in the community. A met tower collected data east of Mountain Village from November 2009 to August 2011. A wind resource report was completed and revealed a low Class 5 (excellent) wind resource with an average wind speed of 7.62 m/s. Work under this grant will include updating the wind resource report, conducting a geotechnical investigation at a proposed wind site, completing the CDR with the preliminary design of a wind farm.
