SECTION 4 — PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND TASKS
• Tell us what the project is and how you will meet the requirements outlined in Section 2 of
the RFA.
• The level of information will vary according to phase(s) of the project you propose to
undertake with grant funds.
• If you are applying for grant funding for more than one phase of a project provide a
plan and grant budget form for completion of each phase.
• 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 extentlamount 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.
The feasibility study will incorporate a wind rate analysis comparing the annual electrical
usage for powering the WTP with the amount of wind energy that can be provided. Wind is
renewable, free, and proven to be an effective source that offsets diesel/electrical power
usage. Cons of wind energy include the potential for high wind events that could damage the
wind turbines; low -wind years where not enough wind is available to deliver to the system;
and operation and maintenance issues associated with the wind turbines. Other alternatives
for renewable energy in Angoon include solar and biomass.
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.
The City's WTP is powered by the community electrical grid. Power to the City electrical
grid is provided by diesel -fueled generators. The proposed wind turbine system will be used
to offset the energy costs (approximately $2,500/month) related to the water treatment plant,
which represents one of the City's largest monthly operational costs. This study will also
evaluate the existing energy system in Angoon.

ALASKA Renewable Energy Fund
GEED ENERGY AUTHORITY Grant Application Round 5
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.
This feasibility study will verify the actual fuel consumption for the water treatment plant
(WTP) electrical needs and the amount of fuel that can be saved by utilizing wind turbines. In
addition to decreasing the amount of fuel consumed by the water treatment plant, this project
should reduce our community's total fuel demand. The total electrical load required by the
WTP amounts to approximately 170 amps.
No impact to the existing energy infrastructure or resources is anticipated as result of the
proposed wind feasibility study. If this study finds the wind resource suitable, installation of
one or more wind turbines at the WTP could potentially decrease electricity consumption.
These savings will allow our City to lower customer utility bills.
4.2.3 Existing Energy.Market
Discuss existing energy use and its market. Discuss impacts your project may have on energy
customers.
Existing electrical energy in Angoon is primarily used for lighting and miscellaneous
appliances and electronics in homes and public buildings. The major electricity consumers are
the sanitation facilities, including the WTP and the sewage lift stations. Due to the nature of
the proposed wind feasibility study, no impact is anticipated for energy customers at this time.
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
If the wind resource proves suitable and funding is obtained, wind turbines would be installed
to service the WTP. The purpose of the wind feasibility study is to gather background
information in order to design a conceptual plan for a future wind turbine facility. As such,
due to the nature of the proposed project, the information requested for the system design is
unknown at this time. The feasibility study will investigate each of the above -listed bullet
points.
4.3.2 Land Ownership
Identify potential land ownership issues, including whether site owners have agreed to the
project or how you intend to approachland ownership and access issues.
The proposed wind feasibility study will make an assessment of all possible site control issues
for installation of future wind turbines. No easements will be obtained as part of this study
and it is not anticipated that land ownership will be an issue, as the City already has
easements at the location of the existing WTP.

hear Mayor Albert Howard:
Ro: Alaska Energy Authority (ABA), Renewable Energy Grant Program
The Native Village of Angoon is pleased to support the City of Angoon in this proposal for the
AEA, Renewable Energy Grant program for a wind feasibility :study at the water treatment plant
Currently, our community's water treatment system requires a significant amount of fuel each
year for operation. The proposed wind energy study that you .are applying for will pave the way
:for design and construction of a wind turbine system. Given the extremely high cost of fuel in
rural Alaska, this project is one of Angoon's top priorities. A future wind turbine system will
dramatically reduce energy costs related to our community's water and sewer system. In
addition, the anticipated operational savings will allow for lowt.T utility fees and a reduced cost
of living for Angoon residents.
For these reasons, we fully support the City's efforts in pursuigg this funding opportunity.
