Project Description: This will be a Solar PV Facility, with installed capacity of 5.9 MW, highly reliable and most available in the summer months, with 500 MWh average to be delivered each month. A 6 MegaWatt DC/5 Megawatt AC utility-scale solar farm is planned for the proposed system. The system will be interconnected to the CEA power grid via a medium-voltage line extension to the site feeding the two Y-Y 2.5 MVA transformers. Each of the two transformers will feed one of the two 4,000 Amp service MDP’s with backfeed rated circuit breakers for collecting solar inverters. The 5 Megawatt of AC rated inverters will be interconnected to the MDP’s by 480V 3 phase. The solar inverters will collect the 6 MegaWatt of 480 Watt solar modules for conversion to AC power. The solar modules will be mounted in a fixed position on a ground-mounted racking system positioned in rows to maximize the use of the land available for the greatest overall efficiency. The DC wiring will be operating at approximately 1,200 Volts DC per string providing 6 million KWh annually. Enough power to: • Power about 800 homes • Prevent approximately 8 million pounds per year of carbon dioxide emissions • Equivalent to taking 2,000 large cars off the road This project interconnection location is at Point MacKenzie near the Chugach Electric Association Substation. PMS LLC will provide 12,500 Q-Cells Q.PEAK DUO XL 480W modules with a 25-year warranty. Our objective is to develop and maintain the largest Solar Farm in Alaska, 5MW minimum, on 33 acres of unrestricted bluff property adjacent to the Cook Inlet on Point MacKenzie. This location is perfect to serve Anchorage as once construction is complete, the system will be connected to the grid at the Chugach Electric Transfer Station only a few hundred yards away. This project has the potential to be a huge win for everyone involved as well as the environment. The point of interconnection is the CEA Substation located at Point MacKenzie and will cost approximately $800,000.00. Point MacKenzie Solar Concept Plan, maps, images, and spec sheets are attached. • See Appendix A for one-line drawings • See Appendix B Location • See Appendix C One line drawing • See Appendix D Utility Line Grid • See Appendix E for Spec Sheet Purchase of Renewable Energy Generation RFP 21-23 Point MacKenzie Solar LLC Land availability and site control: Fred Thoerner, President of PMS LLC is the sole owner in fee of Lot 1 David Bruce Ring Subdivision. This land consists of 33 acres located adjacent to the CEA Substation at Point MacKenzie. An additional 14 acres to the north are also available for future expansion. Access in winter is done from the CEA High Voltage Power line easement to and from P oint MacKenzie Road. No Lease Required. Access is also available from the beach of Cook Inlet as the land is waterfront. There are no zoning requirements for the land, as well as no covenants or restrictions to hinder the project. Prior work: The measurement of the resource’s availability is 33 acres, with permitting not required; possible permitting may be required through State of Alaska Energy Authority. The ground is dry and consists mostly of sand to 4 ft deep, and land is owned outright by Fred Thoerner. Land is partially cleared as it was once an airstrip. A cabin has been built to house staff and construction workers. Permitting: Point MacKenzie Solar will abide by all federal, state, and local regulators. Additional permitting may be required through State of Alaska Energy Authority. Construction risk: Subsurface is stable, dry, consists mainly of sand, a nd construction can and will take place year-round. Logistically, getting materials and personnel out there is more difficult than downtown Anchorage. Much easier however than Barter Island or Little Diomede. Kuchar Construction has workers on hand prepared to complete the project in a timely manner. Additional laborers will be hired as needed with local hire a s priority. The manufacturing of solar panels is steady and reliable. Panels have become more efficient and cost less. Location is probably the largest risk, other than the normal construction risks involved with any project. Environmental risk: No threatened or endangered species will be impacted, with no habitat issues and no wetlands, no archaeological resources, no aviation impacts, no visual impacts, and no land development constraints. No other environmental risks, as Solar is a clean renewable energy. Technical risk: Interconnection will be difficult to the High Voltage Power Lines, but not impossible. More detail will be provided with an Integration Study. The power provided by the sun will be based on daylight and intensity. More sun is available in the summer months than in winter. Solar is known for low maintenance, but we would have a plan in place with people ready to work in case of a loss of power. Purchase of Renewable Energy Generation RFP 21-23 Point MacKenzie Solar LLC Project schedule: • Phase 1 Initial Design and Interconnection Study, 1 year • Phase 2 Engineering, Procurement and Construction 1 year • Phase 3 Interconnection – 6 months • Full Commercial Operation Date March 1, 2025 3.
