2.4 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Provide a brief one paragraph description of the proposed project.
The Grant Lake Hydroelectric Facility would consist of 5 MW of installed capacity with an average
annual output of 19,500 MWh of energy, installed on the Grant lake watershed near Moose Pass,
Alaska. The proposed Project is comprised of an intake structure in Grant Lake, a tunnel, a surge
tank, a penstock, a powerhouse, a tailrace detention pond, a switchyard with disconnect switch &
step-up transformer, and an overhead or underground transmission line. The intake would be in
Grant Lake near its outlet. Water would be conveyed from the intake through a 3200’ tunnel and
a150 foot penstock to a powerhouse containing two Francis-type turbines. The powerhouse would
be located near the bank of Grant Creek and would discharge through a tailrace into Grant Creek.
A transmission line would connect the facility to the Railbelt grid near Moose Pass. The layout has
been recently revised to minimize the Project footprint. The current design omits the construction of
a diversion structure (dam) at the outlet of Grant Lake. All 13-feet of storage that will be utilized for
power generation will be drawn from below the natural lake outlet. The tailrace channel, which
returns flow from the powerhouse to Grant Creek, will be located at the upstream side of Reach 4.
Supplemental water will be routed from the intake tunnel to provide instream flows for fish in the
bypass reach (Reach 5).This tailrace location ensures that the reaches with the best natural habitat
for fish will not be dewatered. Please see the attached Grant Lake Hydroelectric Project
Operations and Fisheries Habitat Technical Memo for a more detailed project description and plan
of operation.
2.5 PROJECT BENEFIT
Briefly discuss the financial and public benefits that will result from this project, (such as reduced
fuel costs, lower energy costs, local jobs created, etc.)
Energy from the Grant Lake Project would reduce the consumption of carbon-based energy
sources, thereby helping to improve air quality in Kenai Peninsula and conserve the Cook Inlet’s
limited supply of natural gas. In the first 50 years of operation this project will reduce the amount of
CO2 released on the Kenai Peninsula by over 500,000 tons. This renewable energy would also
assist in stabilizing the long term price of power to consumers, and it would be a significant step in
diversifying HEA’s generation portfolio and would assist in the State of Alaska’s state renewable
energy goal.
As with most hydroelectric facilities, this project has high upfront costs. However, in the first 50
years of existence the project shows an NPV Net Benefit of $14,497,040 with a B/C Ratio of 1.27.
These values are conservative in nature because they do not account for current and future grant
funds or potential Legislative appropriations possible for the project. Additionally the project
economics are based upon a 50 year life expectancy, however current estimates for hydroelectric
life expectancy stretch to 100 years. This project represents a long term invest in Alaska that will
produce clean, renewable power for Alaskans throughout this century.
2.6 PROJECT BUDGET OVERVIEW
Briefly discuss the amount of funds needed, the anticipated sources of funds, and the nature and
source of other contributions to the project.

3.5 Project Risk
Discuss potential problems and how you would address them.
Kenai Hydro is very encouraged by the natural resources study results for this project and the
proposed operating scenario resulting from this information. Kenai Hydro has engaged in
significant and positive consultation and collaboration with Stakeholders and believes that all
issues that have been identified can be addressed with a suite of protection, mitigation and
enhancement (PM&E) measures and engineered solutions that will be identified in the Draft and
Final License Applications.
Over the course of the last year Kenai Hydro (KHL) has made extensive progress with respect to
developing a mutually acceptable re-route of the proposed Iditarod National Historic Trail (INHT)
through the Grant Lake Hydroelectric Project Area. In the early fall of 2013, KHL’s recreational
contractor surveyed the Grant Lake Project Area for potential re-route options and identified a
potential trail corridor that, based on professional opinion, increases the user experience over what
Renewable Energy Fund Round VIII
Grant Application - Standard Form
AEA 15003 Page 10 of 29 7/2/14
is currently delineated and facilitates development of the Project, as currently proposed. That path
was marked and a series of maps and a presentation were developed. On November 3, 2013,
HEA met with Stakeholders to present this routing option and collaborate on an appropriate
process for reaching agreement on the re-route. Based on that meeting and some follow-up
discussions, it was agreed that the development of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)
amongst all parties would be a suitable approach for documenting agreement. Fundamental to the
MOU is the agreement that once a FERC Hydroelectric License is secured, all parties will
reconvene to discuss the intricacies of the re-route (additional study need, construction, funding,
etc.) prior to developing the trail through the Project Area. Since that initial meeting, further
delineation of the re-route location has internally occurred and a site visit with all requisite
Stakeholders was held on July 15, 2014 to describe those details. A follow-up visit occurred on
July 31st to assist in insuring all Stakeholders were given the opportunity to view the route and
receive the appropriate amount of detail. Subsequent to the site visit and based on consultation,
HEA internally developed a draft MOU. The MOU is currently being re viewed by all parties for any
needed revisions. Once that review is complete, the document will be finalized by KHL and sent
around to all Stakeholder representatives for signature. The intent once signed, is for the MOU to
be appended to the FERC Hydroelectric License Application to document the agreement and
provide FERC with the needed context to assist in assuring them that ancillary issues will not
preclude development if a license is issued.
3.6 Project Accountant(s)
Tell us who will be performing the accounting of this Project for the Grantee and include contact
information, a resume and references for the project accountant(s). In the electronic submittal,

ECTION 4 – PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND TASKS
The level of information will vary according to phase(s) of the project you propose to undertake
with grant funds.
If some work has already been completed on your project and you are requesting funding for an
advanced phase, submit information sufficient to demonstrate that the preceding phases are
satisfied and funding for an advanced phase is warranted.
4.1 Proposed Energy Resource
Describe the potential extent/amount of the energy resource that is available.
Discuss the pros and cons of your proposed energy resource vs. other alternatives that may be
available for the market to be served by your project. For pre-construction applications, describe
the resource to the extent known. For design and permitting or construction projects, please
provide feasibility documents, design documents, and permitting documents (if applicable) as
attachments to this application.
Using the hydrology data and the habitat parameters identified in the natural resources studies,
KHL’s consultant (McMillen), developed an operational study. An energy generation model was
then developed to simulate the Project under these proposed operations. Utilizing the average
daily inflows from the composite hydrology record, the anticipated annual energy production would
be 19,500,000 kilowatt-hours. A copy of the Project Operations and Fisheries Habitat Technical
Memo documenting this work is attached to the grant application.
Pros
Hydropower is renewable, long-lived, efficient, dispatchable and environmentally responsible
energy that emits no greenhouse gases, waste or air pollution. It uses readily available
technologies, it is low maintenance, displaces consumption of fossil fuels, and it provides long-term
price stability to energy consumers. This particular facility could greatly enhance HEA’s spinning
reserve capacity which provides an additional fuel savings.
Hydropower opportunities on the Kenai Peninsula are extremely limited; potential resources have
been catalogued by the US Geological Survey – Water Resources of Alaska. Proximity to the
Railbelt grid, low impact and available energy recommend a Grant Lake hydro facility to be atop
the short list of viable Kenai Peninsula renewable resources.
The most expedient solution to local energy needs is construction of natural gas-fired generation.
These units are less expensive to procure and install, require a much shorter time to permit, and
have a relatively small footprint compared to hydro power. However, gas-fired units are not
sustainable, subject to market-driven fuel pricing and availability, shorter lived, cost more to
operate and maintain, and emit greenhouse gases.
Cons
Disadvantages of hydropower include high initial investment, relatively long time required to
permit/license, and potential impact on habitats and water quality.

4.2 Existing Energy System
4.2.1 Basic configuration of Existing Energy System
Briefly discuss the basic configuration of the existing energy system. Include information about the
number, size, age, efficiency, and type of generation.
Nikiski Combined Cycle Plant (Steam/Gas) 80 MW CT 1984, ST 2014
Soldotna Combustion Turbine Plant (Gas) 48 MW 2014
Bernice Lake Combustion Turbine Plant (Gas) 80 MW 3 Units 1971, 1978, 1981
Bradley Lake Hydroelectric Project (hydro) 14 MW 1991
4.2.2 Existing Energy Resources Used
Briefly discuss your understanding of the existing energy resources. Include a brief discussion of
any impact the project may have on existing energy infrastructure and resources.
HEA’s power supply portfolio primarily consists of natural gas-fired generation and some hydro-
electric power. HEA’s large portion of gas-fired generation (90%) strongly influences HEA’s rates,
and is subject to wide price volatility. HEA is also seeking to diversify its generation portfolio. Part
of this diversification is to develop renewable generation. The proposed project would represent
approximately 4 % of HEA’s energy needs, and would be a significant step in adding renewable
energy to its portfolio.
No impact on existing energy infrastructure or resources foreseen.
4.2.3 Existing Energy Market
Discuss existing energy use and its market. Discuss impacts your project may have on energy
customers.
The primary market for this project’s energy is HEA consumers, and a secondary market is other
Railbelt electric utilities.
This project will have the following positive impacts on the existing energy system and its
customers:
1. Incrementally stabilize the long-term price of power.
2. Provide 4 % of HEA’s immediate generation needs from clean, renewable hydropower.
3. Offset and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
4. Provide stored, dispatchable energy and spinning reserve.
5. Opportunity to reduce Bradley Lake transmission losses and constraints via hydro power
trades.
4.3 Proposed System
Describe the system you are intending to develop and address potential system design, land
ownership, permits, and environmental issues.

Provide the following information for the proposed renewable energy system:
A description of renewable energy technology specific to project location
Optimum installed capacity
Anticipated capacity factor
Anticipated annual generation
Anticipated barriers
Basic integration concept
Delivery methods
The proposed Project consists of constructing a new 5-Megawatt hydroelectric facility on Grant
Lake and Grant Creek near Moose Pass, Alaska. The new Project would divert water from Grant
Lake and deliver the flow to a powerhouse located near the outlet of the existing Grant Creek
natural, incised rock canyon downstream from Reach 5. The Project would include the following
major components:
• An intake structure in Grant Lake.
• A tunnel extending from the lake intake to just east of the powerhouse.
• A penstock and surge tank located at the west end of the tunnel.
• A powerhouse with two Francis turbines providing a combined 5-Megawatt output. The
maximum design flow will be approximately 385 cfs.
• Tailrace detention pond.
• Switchyard with disconnect switch and step-up transformer.
• An overhead or underground transmission line.
• Access road from the Seward Highway to the powerhouse and extending up to the intake
structure at Grant Lake.
• A pole mounted disconnect switch where the transmission line intersects the main power
transmission line.
The layout has been revised to minimize the Project footprint. The current design does not include
the construction of a diversion structure (dam) at the outlet of Grant Lake. All 13-feet of storage
that will be utilized for power generation will be drawn from below the natural lake outlet. The
tailrace channel, which returns flow from the powerhouse to Grant Creek, will be located at the
upstream of Reach 4. This tailrace location ensures that the reaches with the best natural habitat
for fish will not be dewatered. The detention pond will be utilized to allow the powerhouse to meet
the spin requirements without resulting in drastic changes to in-channel flows.
Anticipated Capacity Factor of 45%

In developing the budget estimates for final engineering and construction, the recent hands on
experience at the Allison Creek and Blue Lake Hydroelectric projects was used as the basis for
developing the Grant Lake Project cost estimates. The understanding gained from these projects
of the environmental, regulatory, and FERC requirements for the design and construction of a
hydroelectric project in the State of Alaska were applied to ensure a comprehensive and
representative project cost. The site specific challenges for construction at the Grant Lake project
were also incorporated into the estimate including establishing access, short construction windows,
challenging weather conditions, and manpower/equipment acquisition. Specific assumptions and
sources used in developing the estimate included the following:
Equipment costs for the turbine/generator equipment were obtained from manufacturers for
the proposed two unit powerhouse configuration. Quotes assumed a water-to-wire
Renewable Energy Fund Round VIII
Grant Application - Standard Form
AEA 15003 Page 17 of 29 7/2/14
package which included all required mechanical and electrical equipment for the
powerhouse. These budget estimates were then compared to other similar constructed
projects to ensure consistency.
Tunnel costs were based on the actual completed production rates for the Allison Creek
and Blue Lake tunnels. Estimated both the linear foot cost as well as cubic yard cost to
determine average cost per linear foot. Rock projected at Grant Lake is similar to that
found at Allison.
Transmission line costs were based on actual bids received for Allison Creek, which were
then adjusted to account for easier access for the line construction, as compared to the
Allison where access had to be constructed.
Substation costs were developed based on actual costs for the Allison and Blue Lake
equipment and field construction at Allison which has a similar powerhouse size.
Powerhouse costs were developed based on a developed footprint of the powerhouse and
unit costs developed for similar projects for concrete placement, powerhouse building, etc.
The Allison Creek project provided a solid basis for production rates such as concrete
placement, excavation, and building costs including electrical and balance of plant.
General conditions and mobilization/demobilization costs were based on actual costs from
the Allison and Blue Lake projects for equipment and materials shipment from Seattle via
barge. Housing and administrative costs were developed reflecting the short summer
construction season and limited housing availability near the project site.
Engineering costs were developed based on a detailed scope and labor breakdown to
reflect the Grant Lake Project. Specifically, the engineering level of detail and
documentation to meet FERC expectations was incorporated into the estimate.
Construction administration and supervision costs were developed based on the FERC
requirements for the Allison Creek and Blue Lake project. Staffing levels were developed to
provide a FERC mandated level of oversight in the field. Office engineering support was
reflective of the actual level of effort required for the Allison and Blue Lake projects.
4.4.2 Project Operating and Maintenance Costs
Include anticipated O&M costs for new facilities constructed and how these would be funded by the
applicant.
(Note: Operational costs are not eligible for grant funds however grantees are required to meet
ongoing reporting requirements for the purpose of reporting impacts of projects on the communities
they serve.)
Operations and maintenance will be financed through typical utility accounting procedures using
revenue generated by the hydro facility and other utility cash flows. The facility would be
essentially unmanned requiring only periodic inspection and routine maintenance. Annual O &M
costs are anticipated to be about $112,551 (in 2014 dollar) per year which is easily supported by
the projects expected annual revenue.
4.4.3 Power Purchase/Sale
The power purchase/sale information should include the following:
Identification of potential power buyer(s)/customer(s)
Potential power purchase/sales price - at a minimum indicate a price range
Proposed rate of return from grant-funded project

Energy from the project will be sold to Homer Electric Association (HEA) for the benefit of its
customers at prevailing rates. It should be noted that the project would incrementally stabilize long
term electricity rates. It is likely that the acceptable rate-of-return will be kept to single-digit
margins. A secondary market is other Railbelt utilities.

4.4.5 Impact on Rates
Briefly explain what if any effect your project will have on electrical rates in the proposed benefit
area. If the is for a PCE eligible utility please discuss what the expected impact would be for both
pre and post PCE.
Depending on available grant funds, Legislative appropriations, long term financing rates and term,
it is estimated that the project will not negatively impact rates and could potentially help to stabilize
rates. Over the long term, 30 to 100 year out the project will reduce electric rates.
SECTION 5– PROJECT BENEFIT
Explain the economic and public benefits of your project. Include direct cost savings, and
how the people of Alaska will benefit from the project.
The benefits information should include the following:
Potential annual fuel displacement (gallons and dollars) over the lifetime of the evaluated
renewable energy project
Anticipated annual revenue (based on i.e. a Proposed Power Purchase Agreement price, RCA
tariff, or cost based rate)
Potential additional annual incentives (i.e. tax credits)
Potential additional annual revenue streams (i.e. green tag sales or other renewable energy
subsidies or programs that might be available)
Discuss the non-economic public benefits to Alaskans over the lifetime of the project
Potential Fuel Displacement
According to the AEA Economic Model, it is estimated that $171,628,469 can be saved in avoided
fuel cost over the first 50-year of the project.
Anticipated Annual Revenue
4th quarter 2014 HEA rates are $0.22029 / Kwh. At 19,500,000 Kwh per year the annual revenue
would be $4,295,655.
Renewable Energy Fund Round VIII
Grant Application - Standard Form
AEA 15003 Page 21 of 29 7/2/14
Potential Additional Annual Incentives
The potential tax credits are purely speculative, and will depend on the form of the business entity
that carries the project into licensing, construction and operation
Potential Additional Annual Revenue Streams
It may be possible to sell Renewable Energy Credits engendered by this project.
The renewable energy will incrementally stabilize the long term price of power providing an
attractive incentive to potential local businesses.
It may also be possible to sell spinning reserve capacity from this asset when HEA is not utilizing
the spin from this facility.
Non-Economic Public Benefit
The energy from the project would reduce consumption of carbon-based energy sources, and help
to improve air quality in Kenai Peninsula Borough. The project would also be an important step in
diversifying HEA’s future generation portfolio.

SECTION 7 – READINESS & COMPLIANCE WITH OTHER GRANTS
Discuss what you have done to prepare for this award and how quickly you intend to proceed with
work once your grant is approved.
Tell us what you may have already accomplished on the project to date and identify other grants
that may have been previously awarded for this project and the degree you have been able to
meet the requirements of previous grants.
The reconnaissance associated with Phase I was completed in 2009, the results of which
suggested pursuing feasibility work. To that end, Field Studies were initiated in 2009 and executed
through July of 2010. An authorization to proceed to licensing using the Traditional License
Program was granted by FERC on 9/15/2009. Numerous agency and interested shareholder
forums have been held, and public comment processes have been undertaken. The FERC
scoping process has been completed and FERC issued Scoping Document 2 for this project on
8/23/2010. Natural Resources Study Plans were finalized in 2012 and those Plans were executed
in 2013. The results of the Natural Resources Studies were shared with Stakeholder and Agencies
in early 2014 and a collaborative approach to develop an acceptable operations scheme is
currently ongoing as part of the process to develop a FERC Draft License Application (DLA). Kenai
Hydro anticipates issuing a DLA for public comment in February of 2015. Kenai Hydro maintains
a website, www.kenaihydro.com that documents project progress.
Phase 1 Reconnaissance studies, which were completed in January 2009, were partially funded by
a $100,000 AEA grant. Kenai Hydro received partial funding for Phase II activities in the amount of
$2,000,000 through two separate awards of $816,000 and of $1,184,400 through AEA Renewable
Energy Grants.
As shown in Section 3.2 Project Schedule and Milestones, Kenai hydro has a detailed schedule to
start the Phase III work of Final Design and Permitting as soon as Grant funds are available if the
project is selected as a grant recipient.
SECTION 8 – LOCAL SUPPORT AND OPPOSITION
Discuss local support and opposition, known or anticipated, for the project. Include letters of
support or other documentation of local support from the community that would benefit from this
project. The Documentation of support must be dated within one year of the RFA date of July 2,
2014
As with all projects of this nature, the local public is somewhat polarized with respect to their
viewpoint. Some Moose Pass residents have expressed their adamant support for the Project
while others are opposed. Based on some conversations that have occurred between Kenai
Hydro, their consultants and the local public, we believe that some of the opposition is the result of
uncertainty related to Project specifics, benefit to the community and some misinformation that has
been distributed. KHL is in the process of cataloging all public comments and will be holding a
local, public forum in the next two months to address all questions and concerns.
The HEA board of directors, which represents approximately 31,000 member-owners, has shown
consistent support for renewable energy projects. Additionally, HEA has been encouraged by its
members to explore alternative sources of sustainable power supply, lessen its reliance on natural
gas fuel, and stabilize rates.
Attached you will find letters of support for this project from Speaker of the Alaska State House,
Representative Mike Chenault and Alaska State Representative Kurt Olson (jointly signed); Alaska
