Weather related problems: Weather may disrupt the project, however the overall project schedule will be delayed. 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 extent/amount of the energy resource that is available. Discuss the pros and cons of your proposed energy resource vs. other alternatives th at may be available for the market to be served by your project. Based on the AEA Alaska high resolution wind resource map, Areas around Akaichak are rated as a class 5 wind regime. The three proposed 100 kW turbines can be expected to produce an average of 700,000 kWh per year. 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. ANC utilizes a new combined heat and power plant, upgraded in 2008 with (4) four generators. Two (2) Cat C9 Marine 250kW mostly used in the summer and two (2) 3456 Cat Generators rated at 475kW. From reports the total annual fuel use for this system is 129,046 gallons. The wind study report will provide a complete analysis of the power output, fuel usage and costs to operate the plant. The estimated fuel use in the winter is about 18-20,000 gallons per month. This is the same time the wind resource across the region increases (based on nearby studies). Summer months the loads decrease and the operators uses the 250kW to service the loads. Renewable Energy Fund Grant Application Round IV AEA11-005 Grant Application Page 7 of 14 7/21/2010 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. Akiachak uses exclusively diesel and heating oil for electricity and heating production. An installation of wind turbines would substantially reduce the use of fuel for electricity production. 4.2.3 Existing Energy Market Discuss existing energy use and its market. Discuss impacts your project may have on energy customers. The existing energy market is the community of Akaichak residential, government and commercial users. These include: The school, the tribal government and resident housing. The installation of wind powered generators will reduce the dependence of fuel for the entire community. 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 Wind Power: ANC will complete a Feasibility Analysis, Resources Assessment, and if the results are favorable for a wind generator a Conceptual Design to assess the possibility of installing a wind generator; the purpose of this work is to gather background information to plan a future alternative energy facility. The capacity is unknown at this time. Anticipated barriers. None anticipated at this time Basic integration concept/Delivery methods. The goal is to determine if a turbine is warranted and this will be done through the study results and if they are favorable to a conceptual design. This would detail how power from a wind turbine would be integrated and delivered into the existing system. If the wind is suitable for development, the turbines will interconnect with the power plant. no major changes are expected to the existing electrical distribution grid. Renewable Energy Fund Grant Application Round IV AEA11-005 Grant Application Page 8 of 14 7/21/2010 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. The Village corporation owns the land near the site. 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 Consultation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in compliance with the Endangered Species Act will be required to install the met tower. ANC will work with the agency to ensure that the requirements of the Act are met, while allowing for the success of the project. An U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Wetlands Permit may be needed for the geotechnical work. The Corps has a “Nationwide Permit” for survey work, including geotech field work. This permit usually takes no more than three weeks to obtain. Other permits maybe needed and ANC will rely on the consultant design engineering company to identify and obtain the necessary permits. 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 ANC will obtain permission to place the met tower and conduct geotechnical fieldwork from the land owner as a part of this project. The community has supported this project in the past, and it is not expected that a right of entry will problematic. Further work to obtain a long term lease would be needed if the study finds that the wind turbines are feasible. 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. Renewable Energy Fund Grant Application Round IV AEA11-005 Grant Application Page 9 of 14 7/21/2010 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 ANC plans to conduct a Feasibility Analysis, Resources Assessment, and if the study is favorable a Conceptual Design to assess the possibility of using wind power in Akiachak. This work will cost $125,000. AEA has previously provided the funds for a Met tower and it is at the location ready for installation. ($15,000) If the wind resource proves suitable, the next phase of this project would be Final Design and Permitting (Phase III). Although it is difficult to determine without an assessment of the resource and what type, size, and number of turbine would be needed, ANC expects that the Final Design and Permitting would cost up to $220,000. ANC would provide a 5% in-kind match ($12,500). It is possible that the funding for this work could come from the AEA Renewable Energy Program, the USDA Rural Utility Service program, or another grant program. The final phase of this project would be Construction and Commissioning (Phase IV). ANC estimates that this phase could cost $4,250,000 assuming installation of three Northwind 100 wind turbines. It is possible that the funding for this work could come from the AEA Renewable Energy Program or the USDA Rural Utility Service program, or another grant program. 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.) Met tower maintenance is expected to be under $1,200 for the duration of the data gathering. 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 Renewable Energy Fund Grant Application Round IV AEA11-005 Grant Application Page 10 of 14 7/21/2010 4.4.4 Project Cost Worksheet Complete the cost worksheet form which provides summary information that will be considered in evaluating the project.

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 (gal and $) 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 Currently the system of generators utilizes 129,000 gallon per year. If the turbines can displace 30% of the fuel the annual savings at the current price of $3.56/gallon is $137,772. As the global economy recovers from the recent recession fuel prices are expected to rise. At $6.00/gallon the annual savings is $232,200. Based on: 129,046 gallons -- reported usage for one year on the new gen sets. Price Per Gallon Annual Fuel Costs Fuel Cost Saving @ 30% displacement 25 Year Project $ 3.56 459,240.00 $ 137,772.00 $ 3,444,300.00 $ 4.00 516,000.00 $ 154,800.00 $ 3,870,000.00 $ 5.00 645,000.00 $ 193,500.00 $ 4,837,500.00 $ 6.00 774,000.00 $ 232,200.00 $ 5,805,000.00 There are also a variety of tax credits and other incentives; green tag sales, carbon offsets to add to the annual revenue stream.
