-=:· ENERGY AUTHORITY
The Lake and Peninsula Borough seeks funding to conduct a wind reconnaissance study on the
behalf of the Levelock Village Council and its utility Levelock Electric Cooperative, Inc. The
project will consist of the installation of a needed 1 0-meter wind tower within the city to gather
one year of wind data. Rich Stromberg of AEA has indicated the study can be done for
approximately $10,000 using a smaller, 10-meter tower. The wind data will be analyzed by a
professional firm that specializes in the interpretation of wind data. Following the completion of
the data gathering, the firm will prepare a report that will give the LPB and Levelock an
indication on whether or not the wind resources merit a feasibility study on the eventual
construction of a wind turbine.

SECTION 4 -PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND TASKS
-L ENERGY AUTHORITY
• 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.

SECTION 5-PROJECT BENEFIT
ENERGY AUTHORITY
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
The above points will all be addressed at part of the scope of this reconnaissance study. The
reconnaissance study has several benefits to the people of Alaska, including a greater knowledge
of the wind resources in Bristol Bay. The development of wind power at promising sites in
Alaska would provide stable, base load power which could spur economic development in by
allowing for the small scale processing of fish. Energy costs would also be more stable for local
communities, and waste heat could be used in various ways such as in greenhouses to establish
greater local food security or reduce utility bills for public facilities. By offsetting diesel fuel
generation and the resulting emissions, wind power development would also lead to cleaner air
and reduced greenhouse gas emissions
SECTION 6-SUSTAINABILITY
Discuss your plan for operating the completed project so that it will be sustainable.
Include at a minimum:
• 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

Grant Review Staff-AEA
My name is Alexander Tallekpalek, I work with Levelock Electric as the
manager. I also am on the Planning Commission Board with Lake & Peninsula
Borough.
Our community is interested in renewable energy, (Wind Energy) here in
Levelock. We would like to ask Lake & Peninsula Borough to gather information to
obtain a grant for wind reconnaissance study here in Levelock.
As we know wind energy is a viable source and can be useful here in our
community. We would like to become more energy efficient as a whole here in
Levelock and with this wind study, information can be collected and determined if
wind energy can work here.
