AEA13-006 Grant Application Page 4 of 28 7/3//2012 Renewable Energy Fund Round 6 ^[^ A<^i<^A Grant Application / m^' ENERGY AUTHORITY 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, etc.) Installation of wood-fired heating systems in community buildings or clusters of community facilities will displace a significant amount of heating oil and replace it with a lower-cost, renewable energy source. A reduction in energy costs will benefit the overall community by allowing funds spent on heating oil to be spent on programs. Wood heating systems will be supplied by local wood cutters/gatherers, providing for some injection of cash into the local economy. Targeted, sustainable le wood harvests will enhance wildlife habitat and provide protection against wildfires. Although specific projects have not yet been selected for the Round 6 construction funding request, a brief discussion of benefits based on three projects slated for construction in 2013 will serve as good examples. The Koyukuk project will install a 700,000 btu containerized cordwood boiler and heat loop to serve the washeteria/water plant, the school and the city/tribal offices. Capital costs are estimated at $540,780 with resulting savings of $35,345 annually. The simple payback is 14.3 years. The community is actively engaged in the planning and feasibility phases and recognizes the need for technical training for any system installed in the community. Forest inventory figures indicate a substantial timber resource. The project in Nikolai calls for design and construction of a 350,000btu containerized cordwood boiler that would serve the school, community center, lodge and shop. Capital costs are estimated at $478,000 with estimated annual savings of $41,500. Simple payback is 11.5 years. The community will save a significant amount of funds each year by displacing costly fuel oil with lower cost woody biomass. The Anvik project is to install a 350,000 btu containerized cordwood boiler and heat loop to serve the Waheteria, city hall, the clinic and the tribal hall. Estimated capital costs are $385,550 with savings estimated at $25,876. Simple payback is 14.9 years. Projects selected for construction (should this proposal receive funding) will be based on similar results and outcomes of feasibility studies and forest inventories. Biomass Harvest plans will be developed prior to design and construction. . 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 The total project cost to design and construct three biomass systems in three Interior villages is $1,422,693.00. The requested funding amount is $1,314,380.00. Project match will be $108,313.00.

Include any partnerships or commitments with other entities you have or anticipate will be needed to complete your project. Describe any existing contracts and the selection process you may use for major equipment purchases or contracts. Include brief resumes and references for known, key personnel, contractors, and suppliers as an attachment to your application. The project will be a partnership between IRHA, ANTHC and the three individual tribes selected for the project. Both IRHA and ANTHC have extensive experience managing and constructing projects in Interior villages. IRHA communicates and works well with tribes on a daily basis. That experience will be used to coordinate and communicate with the tribes and community members on the status of the project. ANTHC excels at the technical aspects of the project - engineering, design and construction. Equipment for the project will be locally owned wherever possible. IRHA and ANTHC both use force account labor. With the exception of the construction manager, all other labor will be employed locally. IRHA and ANTHC have procurement policies and procedures that comply with existing state and federal procurement requirements. 3.4 Project Communications Discuss how you plan to monitor the project and keep the Authority informed of the status. Please provide an alternative contact person and their contact information. At a minimum, there will be monthly teleconferences between IRHA, ANTHC, the tribe and AEA to discuss project status. Minutes will be taken at the monthly teleconference meetings and distributed to project partners in order to maintain a written record. IRHA has accounting software that will track budgeted versus actual expenditures by line item. These documents will also become part of the written record. Once construction activities begin, bi-weekly progress reports will be developed and distributed to project partners and AEA. The project close-out will include a brief report suitable for other entities/organizations considering biomass systems as an energy saving option. The report will include an outline of the fuel resource plan, budgeted costs versus actual expenditures and other material relevant to decision-makers when planning energy futures. 3.5 Project Risk Discuss potential problems and how you would address them. With any construction project, there is a risk of the project coming in over budget. IRHA and ANTHC have reviewed the proposal budget based on recent experience with similar projects. In addition, IRHA recently completed eight community feasibility studies which included detailed cost estimates. The budgets in the feasibility studies mirror the budget in this funding proposal. When comparing the construction cost estimate used in the Renewable Energy Fund Round 5 proposal and the cost estimates in the recently completed feasibility studies, the budgets are remarkably close. Round 6 budgets includes an increase of 5% to account for construction in 2014 or 2015 and likely inflation. AEA13-006 Grant Application Page 9 of 28 7/3//2012 Renewable Energy Fund Round 6 Grant Application ^» ALASKA # «•£ : ENERGY AUTHORITY In addition to accurate budgeting, detailed tracking of expenditures by line item will help to prevent any financial risks associated with cost overruns. If costs exceed available funding, IRHA will waive it s administrative portion of the budget to augment direct project costs. There is also the possibility that oil prices will decline to levels that change the simple payback below the threshold of project deconstruction. The US Energy Information Agency is forecasting oil prices to remain in the $100-125/barrel range through the year 2035. AEA13-006 Grant Application Page 10 of 28 7/3//2012 Renewable Energy Fund Round 6 MrA'?^^ Grant Application I «D ENERGY AUTHORITY SECTION 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 infonvation 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 pemiitting or construction projects, please provide feasibility documents, design documents, and permitting documents (if applicatile) as attachments to this application. The three construction projects to be funded in this proposal will be determined based on biomass energy preliminary feasibility assessments conducted for communities in the Interior.. IRHA received funding in Round 4 to conduct feasibility studies in eight communities - In Round 5, IRHA received funding for design and construction of three projects based on those eight feasibility studies. Projects funded by this proposal will be determined by ranking existing feasibility studies and additional studies (funding requested in a separate Round 6 application). In general terms, Alaska has greater than ten times more unused biomass energy resource potential than needed to offset all its diesel fuel used for power production in rural Alaska (AEA, Alaska Energy, A first Step Toward Energy Independence). This is especially true in the heavily forested region of the Interior. Wood fuels in the Interior are most likely to be in the form of cordwood, derived from standing trees. For communities located along major rivers, driftwood can also be a significant source of wood. Forest inventories for eight Interior communities indicate Annual Allowable Cuts (AAC) less than five miles from village, all ownership, far exceed what is required for biomass systems in the communities: Village Dry tons AAC Koyukuk 1,073,312 36,170 Kaltag 946,368 29,623 Nulato 965,953 31,957 Anvik 1,896,346 55,474 Holy Cross 1,579,202 47,295 Nikolai 759,696 18,422 Ruby 1,925,040 53,635 Hughes 1,010,482 33,510 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. AEA13-006 Grant Application Page 11 of 28 7/3//2012 Renewable Energy Fund Round 6 ^^QU^A^ Grant Application / ii) ENERGY AUTHORITY Since specific projects have not yet been selected, the specific configuration of the existing systems is not known. Site specific information can be determined once projects are selected. All projects will include existing oil fired boilers being augmented with wood-fired boilers to generate space heat or heat for water system distribution. 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. Most Interior villages are particularly vulnerable to high energy prices because the region has over 13,500 heating degree days (HDDO per year - 160% of Anchorage's HDDS, or 380% of Seattle's HDDs. For most communities, wood-fueled heating lowers fuel costs. For example, cordwood sourced at $250/ cord is just 25% of the cost per MMBTU as fuel oil sourced at $7.00/gallon. The region is heavily forested; most communities are located on major rivers which also provide a good source of driftwood. IRHA recently assessed eight communities for b omass feasibility. Listed below are per capita energy costs (2010 Alaska Energy Pathways) and potential savings identified for specific systems (2012 Biomass Energy Preliminary Feasibility Assessments. Anvik. Energy per capita $5471, heat per capita $1826. Estimated savings from biomass projects of community facilities - $55,676 Holy Cross. Energy per capita, $4358, heat per capita $1647.

Energy per capita $5098, heat per capita $3017. Estimated savings from biomass projects in community facilities - $ 4593. The construction of three biomass systems for community facilities will have little impact on the existing energy infrastructure. The project will impact energy resources by reducing the use of fuel oil and increasing the amount of wood harvested. Besides the financial savings, communities will benefit from the multiplier effect of circulating fuel money in the community longer, more stable energy prices, job creation and more active forest management. 4.2.3 Existing Energy Market j Discuss existing energy use and its market. Discuss impacts your project may have on energy customers. AEA13-006 Grant Application Page 12 of 28 7/3//2012 Renewable Energy Fund Round 6 Grant Application ENERGY AUTHORITY Existing energy use is fuel oil supplemented with wood for space heat of homes and community facilities. Power is generated using diesel. The purpose of this project is to displace expensive fuel oil with lower-cost, sustainable woody biomass. Communities purchase fuel oil from vendors in Fairbanks and have it shipped to the communities. Cordwood to supplement oil heat is harvesting from lands surrounding the communities. Biomass projects will reduce the amount of heating oil needed for space heat and increase the local harvest of wood. Projects will have current fuel resource plans prior to development. 4.3 Proposed System Include information necessary to describe the system you are intending to develop and address potential system design, land ownership, permits, and environmental issues. 4.3.1 System Design 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 Specific design components are not known until communities and specific projects are selected from feasibility assessments. Based on recently completed feasibility studies, system components will include: • Fuel Storage building • Boilers • Plumbing and electrical • Installation • Site Preparation • District loop & building integration 4.3.2 Land Ownership Identify potential land ownership issues, including whether site owners have agreed to the project or how you intend to approach land ownership and access issues. If projects selected for construction include the need for additional space/land the tribe and/or city will provide the land at no cost to the project. Land ownership of forested lands to be used for harvesting biomass is also a consideration when determining the feasibility of projects. Contractual agreements for harvest and compensation for the resource will be developed prior to design and construction of any project. Harvest plans need to be developed - if biomass harvest are unmanaged, the natural tendency is to harvest the most accessible wood supply first. The effect is increased scarcity and rising harvest costs over time. Land immediately surrounding the villages under consideration for construction projects is largely AEA13-006 Grant Application Page 13 of 28 7/3//2012 Renewable Energy Fund Round 6 ^[p^^c^UTA^ Grant Application # <Mgr; ENERGY AUTHORITY owned by the village corporations and Doyon Ltd. Both entities are generally agreeable to developing harvest plan agreements. . 4.3.3 Permits Provide the following information as it may relate to permitting and how you intend to address outstanding permit issues. • List of applicable permits • Anticipated permitting timeline • Identify and discussion of potential barriers Fire Marshall review and ADEC permits are anticipated for the projects. An environmental review will be conducted by IRHA on specific project sites. 4.3.4 Environmental Address whether the following environmental and land use issues apply, and if so how they will be addressed: • Threatened or Endangered species • Habitat issues • Wetlands and other protected areas • Archaeological and historical resources • Land development constraints • Telecommunications interference • Aviation considerations • Visual, aesthetics impacts • Identify and discuss other potential barriers IRHA will conduct an environmental review that includes all of the above mentioned issues. IRHA routinely conducts such reviews for its other construction and housing rehabilitation projects. The environmental review process should take approximately six weeks. 4.4 Proposed New System Costs and Projected Revenues (Total Estimated Costs and Projected Revenues) The level of cost information provided will vary according to the phase of funding requested and any previous work the applicant may have done on the project. Applicants must reference the source of their cost data. For example: Applicants records or analysis, industry standards, consultant or manufacturer's estimates. 4.4.1 Project Development Cost Provide detailed project cost information based on your current knowledge and understanding of the project. Cost information should include the following: • Total anticipated project cost, and cost for this phase • Requested grant funding • Applicant matching funds - loans, capital contributions, in-kind • Identification of other funding sources • Projected capital cost of proposed renewable energy system > Projected development cost of proposed renewable energy system AEA13-006 Grant Application Page 14 of 28 7/3//2012 Renewable Energy Fund Round 6 Grant Application # ••EZ: ENERGY AUTHORITY The total project cost to design and constmct three biomass systems in three Interior villages is $1,422,693.00. The requested funding amount is $1,314,380.00. Project match will be $108,313.00. The budget is similar to the budget in a Renewable Energy Fund Round 5 grant for design and construction that IRHA received with a 5% increase to account for 2014 or 2015 construction and likely inflation. Recently completed feasibility studies for the communities slated for construction of biomass systems with Round 5 funds showed those budgets to be accurate within 1%. Our project partner, ANTHC, recent experience with design and construction of similar systems indicates the proposed budgets to be accurate. Design, construction, environmental review and permitting are estimated at $418,408.00 each. Additional costs to the project (outside the funding request) are $30,000 (three lots at $10,000 each) that will be counted as in-kind contribution, $39,156.00 in ANTHC project management expenses and $78,313.00 in administrative costs. The village will donate the land and ANTHC will provide project management as an in-kind contribution to the project. IRHA will conduct and provide the environmental review and permitting at a cost of $20,000. The project total includes 6% for administrative and contingency. IRHA will provide 3% of the administrative cost as an in- kind contribution.

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. i i ! 'i 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 Installation of high efficiency low emission systems in public facilities will displace a significant portion of fuel oil currently being used communities. Feasibility assessments recently (August 2012) completed for eight Interior villages estimated annual savings and simple payback as follows: Nikolai School - Capital cost $298,000. Annual savings $20,800. Simple payback 14.3 Nikolai district. Capital cost $478,000. Annual savings $41,500. Simple payback 11.5 Anvik District. Capital cost $385,550. Annual savings $25,876. Simple payback 14.9 Nulato washeteria /school. Capital cost $518,000. Annual savings $47,000. Simple payback 11 Koyukuk cluster. Capital costs $540,780. Annual savings $35,345. Simple payback 14.3 The three construction projects selected for will demonstrate similar savings and paybacks. The communities stand to benefit from the projects in - wood is a locally available resource. Local woodcutters can be paid to harvest wood, keeping cash in the local economy. Energy dollars that are currently being spent outside the community can go towards service delivery rather than exorbitant fuel costs. Non economic benefits include enhancement of wildlife habitat (especially moose) Selective harvesting of wood surrounding the community will help protect the communities from future wildfires.

Include at a minimum: M • Proposed business structure(s) and concepts that may be considered. • How you propose to finance the maintenance and operations for the life of the project • Identification of operational issues that could arise. • A description of operational costs including on-going support for any back-up or existing systems that may be require to continue operation • Commitment to reporting the savings and benefits Projects selected for construction under this proposal will be selected based upon a number of factors - potential fuel displacement, use of forest residues for public benefit, sustainability of wood supply, community support and commitment to following a wood harvest plan. Selecting the right criteria to evaluate projects for construction will result in sustainable projects. Specific operation costs are not yet known, but operational sustainability will be considered when selecting the specific construction projects. Projects with a simple of payback of less than 15 years and benefit/cost ration over 1.0 will be considered for the construction phase of the project. 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. IRHA has received funding under Renewable Energy Fund Round 4 to conduct eight biomass feasibility studies. The eight feasibility studies with accompanying forest inventory reports were completed in August of 2012. Based on those reports, IRHA is partnering with ANTHC and the communities of Koyukuk, Anvik and Nikolai to design and construct biomass projects next year with funding from the Renewable Energy Fund Round 5. The three projects were selected based on annual savings, simple payback and ability to sustainably harvest wood resources. AEA13-006 Grant Application Page 20 of 28 7/3//2012 Renewable Energy Fund Round 6 /}« A[.^.Qk^A Grant Application ' J mm:. ENERGY AUTHORITY IRHA is submitting two more proposals to the Renewable Energy Fund Round 6- one for design/construction funds for three more projects - and one for funds for seven more feasibility studies for communities in the region. IRHA, along with Tanana Chiefs Conference and ANTHC have detennined that biomass offers the best potential energy savings in the region. As such, we are systematically applying for funding for feasibility studies and construction funding for communities in the region. ANTHC and IRHA have the staff and resources to commit to the ongoing pursuit of biomass projects and energy sustainability in the region. In addition, both organizations routinely meet project and grant deadlines and have worked together in the past. SECTION 8- LOCAL SUPORT Discuss what local support or possible opposition there may be regarding your project. Include letters of support from the community that would benefit from this project. When specific construction projects are selected, one of the many factors considered will be community support and the existence of a project "champion". Projects will not be selected if there is any opposition to selected projects. The original eight communities that had feasibility studies conducted have enthusiastically supported the process and are eager to proceed with the next phase. The seven communities selected for the next round of feasibility studies (assuming funding is made available) are also enthusiastic supporters. Most villages in the region view biomass as a key to sustainable communities. AEA13-006 Grant Application Page 21 of 28 7/3//2012 Renewable Energy Fund Round 6 Grant Application SECTION 9 - GRANT BUDGET Tell us how much you want in grant funds Include any investments to date and funding sources, how much is being requested in grant funds, and additional investments you will make as an applicant. Provide a narrative summary regarding funding sources and your financial commitment to the project. IRHA and ANTHC are committed to ttie project. Both organizations have depth in terms of capacity and as such, are able to commit resources of staff time as an in-kind contribution to the project. IRHA routinely design and construct projects in the Interior villages' ANTHC's scope and experience is statewide. Part of IRHA's mission is in part to promote community self- sufficiency through energy and infrastructure advocacy and community projects. IRHA commits its staff and resources to the project.
