2.4 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Provide a brief one paragraph description of your proposed project.
The Turnagain Arm Tidal Electrical Generation Project (TATEP) consists of the installation of
patented and proven Rance tidal electrical generation turbines housed in a barrage located in
Cook Inlet.(See Map, p. 107.)TATEP is modeled on the La Rance tidal electrical generation
plant built at La Rance, Brittany, France in 1966 at a cost of $88 million. The turbines are
housed in a barrage approximately one-half mile long.(See illustration, p. 109, 110.)The tidal
electrical plant has been in operation since 1966, with 240 MW of electrical capacity. The plant
produces electricity at 1.2¢ / kWh to France’s consumers. There have been no mechanical
breakdowns in 44 years with normal maintenance. The Rance turbines work in areas with at
least 80 ft. of water at high tide and 54 ft. low tide, similar to Turnagain Arm tides.TATEP
Renewable Energy Fund
Grant Application Round IV
AEA 11-005 Application Page 6 of 119 7/21/2010
turbines will be housed underwater horizontally and will turn the same direction on incoming and
outgoing tides with generators located on top of the barrage.Specific sites of the turbines will
be selected after further research into environmental, hydrodynamics of tides and water
movement. The La Rance plant has twenty-four 10 MW generators for a total of 240 MW.
TATEP’s plan calls for fifty to one hundred twenty 10 MW generators which would produce 500
MW to 1200 MW net electricity.The project will be developed in stages. The first stage calls for
50 turbines which would be sufficient to provide 500 MW net electricity:100%of the baseline
demand currently in the railbelt region.Cost of the project at that point would be $1.5 billion
instead of $2.5 billion.At that point, tidal power would be used in combination with utilities’
current gas turbines, wind,coal,and hydroelectric power for the peak demand and slack period.
The tidal electrical production can be expanded as needed over time by adding more turbines.
Turbines will be connected by transmission lines;and submarine cable will bring the electricity
produced to Chugach Electric on the Anchorage side and to Homer Electric on the Kenai side,
accessing existing utility corridors as much as possible to produce inexpensive electricity to
Alaska Railbelt consumer.The project is priced for all stages to be built:however, the first
stage would produce enough electricity to be competitive with hydroelectric, geothermal, natural
gas, and other renewables.
2.5
2.6 PROJECT BENEFIT
Briefly discuss the financial and public benefits that will result from this project, (such as reduced fuel
costs, lower energy costs, etc.)
Electricity produced by the project will be available for purchase by all the electric utilities in the
railbelt area at a rate between 6¢ to 8¢ per kilowatt hour, which will reduce the cost of electricity
to railbelt consumers by 50% to 67% and will benefit the 70% of the Alaskan population who live
in this area. (See Map, p. 108.) After the debt service is paid in 20 years, the cost to the
consumer will be as low as 1.2¢ per kWh, similar to the cost of electricity from the La Rance
tidal plant.
The project will require no fuel, is renewable, and produces no greenhouse gas emissions or
CO₂, replacing the use of natural gas and solving the problem of shortage of natural gas in the
railbelt area. Building a natural gas pipeline to Prudhoe Bay will increase by 100%the cost of
energy in the railbelt region, while the TATEP will reduce cost of energy to the region. The
installation costs are $1200/kW. Electricity could be sold to railbelt utilities as low as 6¢ to 8¢
per kWh, lower than the current cost of fuel. The average cost for electricity for a home in the
Anchorage area at 750 kWh/month is $120. at 16¢/kWh and in Fairbanks is $180. at 24¢/kWh.
Monthly electrical bills for an average house would be reduced to $45.at 6¢/kWh.For a
1.2¢/kWh, the cost of electricity per household is about $9.00/month.
2.7 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.

TATEC has completed the Reconnaissance Phase and has received a FERC Preliminary
Permit in February 5, 2010 for the project. We will use the funds from the Renewable Energy
Fund to develop the Preliminary Application Document which will be done concurrently with the
engineering feasibility study.
Electricitè de France is currently assisting the TATEC engineer to solve engineering design
questions and develop the overall preliminary engineering design. A representative from
TATEC will be visiting the La Rance power station in France in September, 2010, and will meet
with the engineering team there to discuss strategies for the TATEP.
Jim Holeman of the Louis Berger Group International is acting as Director of Preparation of the
Pre-Application Document and Notice of Intent to File with the Federal Regulatory Commission.
He is in charge of the oversight of sub-consultants to prepare studies, perform research, and
arrange for meetings with stakeholders as required by the FERC licensing process. He is also
in charge of activities for Public Relations and stakeholder meetings. An MOU has been signed
with Cook Inlet Rock Quarry to provide 15 million cubic yards of granite boulders to build a 1 to
2 mile barrage.
In the later stages, TATEC plans to engage a national engineering firm. TATEC management
team has held a meeting with both CH2M-Hill and Fluor, USA, and both have expressed an
interest in being involved in the engineering for the project. Arrangements will be made with
one or both for the engineering and construction phases.
In Phase 4, TATEC plans to engage a nationally recognized company as a General Contractor
who will build the project. As yet, no final decision has been made on a General Contractor for
the project. TATEC has held several meetings with Fluor USA in the last 18 months.
3.5 Project Communications
Discuss how you plan to monitor the project and keep the Authority informed of the status.
TATEC currently submits a semi-annual report to FERC, to ADNR, Corps of Engineers, Coast
Guard, and will send a copy to Alaska Energy Authority, along with any other information
required by AEA.

3.6 Project Risk
Discuss potential problems and how you would address them.
Questions about the effect of tidal turbines in Turnagain Arm on fish and sea mammals,
especially Beluga whales,will need to be addressed. A thorough review of existing studies will
be done by a qualified scientist. Mitigation will be planned, especially for any specially
designated species. Horizontal turbines are designed to turn very slowly (2.4 sec/revolution) and
to allow fish to pass through with an opening of 25 ft. in diameter. A guard will be placed on
both sides of the turbine so that large sea mammals cannot go into the turbine.Fifty (50) 30 ft.
x thirty ft.(30’ x 30’)slot gates near the turbines will allow the large sea mammals and whales to
pass through.Experimental tests will be designed for the site to examine how fish and sea
mammals are likely to behave near the turbines.At the present time, we are aware of Cook
Inlet beluga whales listed as endangered under the ESA. We are also aware that they have
been observed to feed near the mouth of 16 Mile Creek just south of Possession Point, and that
they have been observed to follow the tides for feeding to that area. We will need to provide
mitigation for potential harm or harassment of marine mammals.In addition, the potential citing
of Upper Cook Inlet as a critical habitat for Cook Inlet Beluga whales may put greater restraints
on what can be done in the area. In any event, TATEC has made the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration aware of the project plans. Kate Savage of National Marine
Fisheries Services, Protected Resources/marine mammal issues, and Susan Walker for Habitat
Conservation/fish issues have been assigned to work with TATEC on this project. The project
also has many slot gates, to allow fish and whales swim freely in and out of the project area.
Silt seems to be a concern to many in the public, although it is unclear what adverse reactions
are feared. Experimental tests will be designed and performed to determine how patterns of
movement of silt and sediments in the inlet will impact the use of tidal turbines in the inlet.
Because the turbines are located deep under water, the silt may prove to be less of a problem
than it is in the more shallow areas. According to the State of Alaska Division of Oil and Gas,
Department of Natural Resources, “Most of this sediment is deposited on the extensive tidal
flats or is carried off shore through Shelikof Strait and eventually deposited in the Aleutian
trench beyond Kodiak (AEIDA, 1974:109).
(http://www.dog.dnr.state.as.us/oil/products/publicaations/cookinlet/cia1999_final-
finding/chap2.htm(5 of 19) [11/2/2009] In any event, this issue will be thoroughly studied and
mitigation of drifting sediment or interference with moving parts will be applied to deal with any
problems observed. For example dredging or use of pressured high velocity air can be used to
disperse silt from settling near the turbines and flush it into the ocean.
Slack time is another concern. It is unclear at this time to what extent water will still be in motion
during slack time in the area designated and how much current will be needed to turn the
turbines. If there is not enough water movement during slack time, TATEC will look into the
possibility of retention of water to be used during slack time so that there will be no interruption
of power during slack time.The other solution is to let the existing utilities with gas-fired power
plants ease the slack period since they are using the same equipment to generate electricity for
the peak period power consumption already.

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.
Turnagain Arm of Cook Inlet has the fourth highest tide in the world with 26 to 30 ft.between low
tide and high tide.TATEC would use only tidal energy, and the energy is not only inexpensive, it
is free, constant, completely predictable, renewable, unending, and produces no greenhouse
gases whatsoever. Other renewable energy projects such as wind turbines will produce only a
fraction of the power that can be produced by tidal power.According to the Alaska Railbelt
Regional Integrated Resource Plan (RIRP) Study by Black and Veatch, commissioned by the
Alaska Energy Authority (February 2010), “the capacity of the Turnagain Arm tidal project
significantly exceeds the Railbelt loads.” (10-31)The first stage of the TATEP (50 turbines)
would provide 100% of the baseline demand and gas turbines, hydroelectric, wind, and other
renewable could provide the extra power needed for peak periods.
Compared to natural gas, the source of energy in use presently, tidal energy produces no
greenhouse gases, is abundant, renewable, and utterly predictable. At the present time, natural
gas is in short supply in the Alaska rail belt region, and a 30 in. pipeline to bring natural gas from
producers in Prudhoe Bay would cost at least $11 billion, and natural gas would cost at least
double the present cost, making the cost of natural gas prohibitive.(Richard Mauer. “State
Would Be on Hook for Some Gas Pipeline Costs.”Anchorage Daily News, August 9,
2010.)TATEP provides another advantage in that it would be less likely to be affected by seismic
activity, and the results would be less dire than those that could be experienced in flooding from
a hydroelectric dam project, because tidal turbines could be replaced more easily than repair of a
large hydroelectric dam and would produce no danger to humans.
The location of turbines beneath the deepest part of the inlet (See Map, p.107.) with buried
cables and a minimum of visible components located on a barrage will not interfere with
aesthetic views of the inlet. There are few recreational or commercial fishing activities in the
deepest part of Turnagain Arm. The bore tide that makes Turnagain unfriendly for recreation
would be put to useful purpose and the aesthetics of the inlet would be preserved.
The potential extent of tidal generated power was stated by AK Railbelt Regional Integrated
Renewable Energy Fund
Grant Application Round IV
AEA 11-005 Application Page 11 of 119 7/21/2010
Resource Plan (RIRP, Feb. 2010) by Black and Veatch Engineering Co., as being 1000 MW at
low tide and 2750 MW at high tides in Turnagain Arm. (Black and Veatch 10-31) Black and
Veatch also projected the total capital investment required for various scenarios with Susitna
hydroelectric would vary from $7.719 billion to $18.8 billion. (RIRP, Feb. 2010, 13-12) While
TATEP was considered to have an “extremely high capital cost” (AEA Renewable Energy Fund
Round III Application Evaluation, January 14, 2010), it is by far lower than that of scenarios using
Susitna hydroelectric alone or in conjunction with other proposed projects projected by Black and
Veatch (RIRP,Feb. 2010, 13-12) .The Rance turbines that have been in service for 44 years
would be considered commercial. While tidal energy may be considered an emerging
technology in the U.S. because there has been little progress in electrical production in the past
40 years, tidal has been in use in other places around the world and is actually not a new
technology, but is proven by success, especially at La Rance.

The rail belt region utility companies have not installed new plants for generating electricity. The
G.E. and Solar Turbines they are using are 30 to 40 years old and are at the end of their useful
life. The baseline generation is about 545 MW capacity, and at peak power, the capacity can go
up to 1,046 MW capacity. The efficiency is low compared to the new turbines. To replace the
old models with newer models would cost approximately $1.3 billion.

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.
At the present time, the railbelt area utilities are using natural gas and coal for electricity
production. Most homes in the area use natural gas for home heating and some appliances
through natural gas lines to homes in the municipalities of Anchorage, Palmer, Wasilla, Kenai,
and Soldotna. Fairbanks uses primarily coal.Natural gas in the railbelt area comes from Cook
Inlet and Kenai area, but is becoming rapidly depleted and expected to run out in 5 years. The
oil companies who control the gas wells in Cook Inlet are exporting 350,000 tons annually to
Japan in LNG, which is further accelerating the depletion of gas field reserves.
The proposed bullet line to Prudhoe Bay would cost a minimum of $9 billion to $11 billion, and
the cost of gas would triple the current price of gas due to debt service on the pipeline and cost
of transportation. The price of electricity to utilities and customers would increase significantly.
Any federal carbon tax would add to the cost. The debt service on $11 billion at 7% interest
bond for 20 years is $630 million per year. Fuel cost, operation, and maintenance of the line is
another $807 million per year. The cost would be prohibitive to customers.
Coal is used in Fairbanks, Ft. Wainwright Army Base, Eielson Air Force Base, and Seward
Electric. However, if cap and trade legislation is passed by the Federal Government, cost will go
up due to taxation of utilities. Coal is increasingly seen as undesirable because of greenhouse
gas emissions and it also damages the clean air of Alaska and causes health problems in
Fairbanks residents.
Tidal energy is renewable and does not produce emissions. It has no fuel cost or transportation
cost. Once in place, a tidal energy electrical generation plant could provide cheap energy for the
rail belt region indefinitely.
Under the TATEP plan, the existing energy resources of the six rail belt utilities would be used
for peak power production while the TATEP power will be used as a rail belt base line 500 to 600
MW to make up the 1046 MW peak power need. The extra power generated by TATEP would
be sold to other industries such as mining, iron and aluminum refining, other petrochemical
industries, and military bases.
TATEC has met with Matanuska Electric and Chugach Electric to introduce the utilities to TATEP
and has met with a great deal of interest.Conversations with Homer Electric and Seward
Electric have also been encouraging. Mr. Robert Day told the TATEC President that Homer
Electric would buy all the electricity they need for 7.5¢/kWh all year round in order to give the
least expensive rate to co-op members.
4.2.3 Existing Energy Market
Discuss existing energy use and its market. Discuss impacts your project may have on energy
customers.
Existing Energy Use and its Market.

The existing rail belt is powered by natural gas and coal. It is a 500 MW baseline electricity
production. The market is presently too small to justify a large expenditure for energy such as
that required for a bullet line to Prudhoe Bay.All the scenarios using Susitna Hydroelectric with
a presumption of continued natural gas and potential combinations with renewable energy
projects assume a significant increase in price to customers. (Black and Veatch, RIRP Feb.
2010, Table 13.1, 13-12.)
Impacts of TATEP on energy customers
1. Customers in the rail belt area where 70% of the state’s population live will benefit
tremendously with cheaper electricity provided by tidal electricity production. At 6¢ to 8¢ per
kilowatt hour, the current customer electricity bill will be reduced by 50% to 60%.
2. The use of tidal energy would solve the current dilemma of a natural gas shortage in the rail
belt area. At the same time, the use of tidal energy in this region would free the State of Alaska,
pipeline owners, and natural gas producers to export natural gas instead of developing a
prohibitively expensive pipeline system to service a small number of customers in the rail belt
region. Natural gas could continue to be developed in the rail belt region for backup use and
peak power use, while excess could be used for heating homes and exportation.
3. Rail belt customers might choose to switch from a natural gas boiler to an electric boiler for
home heating (if they have hydronic heating systems) which will ease the demand for natural gas
in the rail belt region and eliminate the necessity to build an expensive bullet pipeline to Prudhoe
Bay.
4. Cheap electricity will energize the state’s other industries such as mining, petrochemical, and
other industries with heavy electricity usage.
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.

that is between Anchorage and Possession Point and south of Fire Island.(See Map, p. 107.)
This area of Turnagain Arm is conducive to development of a tidal project, as it has areas with
enough depth and swiftness of tide, and at the same time, it is outside the major shipping routes
and recreational boating preferences. The location of the project will be as follows:

Transmission lines will be buried in the inlet floor and across the tidelands leading to Campbell
Point and to a utility corridor on the Kenai side. (See Map, p. 107 .) Once on shore,
transmission lines will be placed in utility corridors on transmission towers both on the Kenai side
of the inlet leading to a switch yard for connection to Homer Electric;and to Chugach Electric on
the Anchorage side.La Rance horizontal two-way underwater turbines manufactured by
Electricité de France which have been in use since 1966 will be used in the project.(See
illustration and photo, p. 109, 110.)
Transmission lines will be buried in the floor of the inlet leading from the turbines. Electricity will
be collected from all the turbines and transmitted by a buried transmission line for approximately
9 miles to Campbell Point where a control building will be located and then to 5601 Electron
Drive in Anchorage. A buried transmission line will also run to a control building on the Kenai
side of the inlet. (See Map, p. 108.) From the Kenai control building, transmission lines will run
to the nearest substations at Nikiski (about 50 miles) in utility corridors.
A control building near Possession Point in Kenai Borough on Kenai Peninsula Borough land
near the inlet will control the turbines and the intertie of transmission line to existing grids and the
electrical substation grid. (See Map, p. 107, 108.) A second control building will be built
somewhere along Raspberry Road in Anchorage.The control buildings are expected to be 100’
X 60’, two-story, 12,000 sq. ft. buildings to accommodate 10 workers, three shifts. All electric
lines will run from the tidal fence to Homer Electric on the Kenai side and to Chugach Electric on
the Anchorage side. (See Map, p. 107.) The generators will be direct drive DC generators, and
will be conditioned to the appropriate AC power onshore. A switch yard will be built to connect
and disconnect electricity produced by the tidal bridge to the existing power grid. The control
building will be staffed to control the entire project operation.
On the Kanai side, the Kenai Peninsula Borough has allotted a 300 ft. utility corridor adjacent to
an easement for a roadway to be built along the inlet in the future. Currently, a trail exists on the
easement which will be used as a service road to the control building and tidal fence. The

coastal area below Possession Point and running along the coast to Nikiski and Kenai is owned
by the Kenai Peninsula Borough. (See Map 107.)The transmission line will be built within this
corridor,running approximately 52 miles along the coast to the unincorporated community of
Nikiski, located at Point K (See Map, 108.) approximately N60˚-46’-12” North Latitude and
W150˚-15’-0”West Longitude. Nikiski is located in the Kenai Recording District, about 18 miles
north of Kenai on the Kenai Spur Highway. The transmission line will tie into Homer Electric grid
at the Homer Electric Association substation near Nikiski, making the transmission line 52 miles
long from the tidal fence on the Kenai side.
On the Anchorage side of the tidal platforms, the transmission line will be laid under the inlet for
9 miles and built across the Pt. Campbell area of Anchorage along Raspberry Rd. for 10 miles to
the substation of Chugach Electric at 5610 Electron Dr. The transmission line will be
approximately 19 miles long. A loop between Chugach Electric and Homer Electric will be
created by the transmission lines. Altogether, the transmission line will be 71 miles long.
The corridor for the transmission line on the Kenai side of Cook Inlet is adjacent to the Kenai
National Wildlife Refuge and Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (ANSCA)land of Cook Inlet
Regional Corporation on Possession Point and along the western side of the Kenai Peninsula
Borough coastal land. However, the transmission line itself will run within Kenai Peninsula
Borough utility corridor. The transmission line on the Anchorage side will run across Anchorage
State Coastal Wildlife Refuge. It is expected that the transmission line will be buried.
The connection between Homer Electric Association and Chugach Electric will create a loop with
the existing transmission grid that crosses the Chugach National Park and the Sterling Highway.
At the Chugach Electrical Association’s Engineering Department’s suggestion, the transmission
line voltage shall be 230 KV and transmission lines will be built in pairs for redundancy.The
State of Alaska Energy Authority is currently asking for a proposal to build a 230 KV railbelt grid
line from Homer to Fairbanks. The transmission line from the Turnagain project will tie into
Chugach at Anchorage to feed electrical power into the Alaska state railbelt grid to be built in the
near future.
Land Ownership
The land under the inlet is owned by the State of Alaska.TATEC is in the process of filing a
lease application with the Alaska Department of Natural Resources.It is anticipated that TATEC
will obtain a 3-year permit which will allow TATEC to perform tests and research of the inlet area.
The area actually to be used for the TATEP project will be more precisely identified so that only
the specific areas used will be leased when the engineering is completed.
Permits
TATEC has begun the process of obtaining approval, licensing, or permits for the project.
TATEC has received a preliminary permit from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.and
has completed the application process for the permit the satisfaction of the agency. TATEC is
currently working on the Notice of Intent to File and a Preliminary Application Document leading
to a final application for a license from FERC,a process which will take at least two years.

Environmental Issues
The greatest environmental issue we are aware of at this time is the need to mitigate for Cook
Inlet Beluga whales which have been listed as an endangered species under the ESA and
recently have been reported to continue to decline in population. We will need to mitigate
against any harm or harassment of marine mammals or fish.
4.3.1 System Design A description of renewable energy technology specific to project location.
The La Rance two-way underwater turbine is a 10 megawatt size two-way turbine designed to
work specifically with high tidal energy such as that characteristic of Turnagain Arm which has
been identified as a prime location for this technology. The turbines and the entire technology
will be modified to meet specific conditions and environmental challenges in the specific location
as further research is completed and the exact sites are confirmed by investigation of tidal flows
and other conditions. The technology will be custom engineered and modified for the specific
site as more information is developed.
Maximum installed Capacity
For 120 10-megawatt EDF Turbines, the TATEP will have a total of 1200 megawatt generating
Renewable Energy Fund
Grant Application Round IV
AEA 11-005 Application Page 17 of 119 7/21/2010
capacity.
Anticipated annual generation
1,200 MW X 24 hours/day X 365 days/year = 10,312,000,000 000 W = 10.312 trillion watts/year.
Anticipated barriers
Fish and marine mammals, mitigation for beluga whales will be essential.
Basic integration concept
The electricity produced by the EDF La Rance tidal Turbine will be transmitted to land by
submarine cables; then transmission towers will lead to the switch yards of utility companies and
tie into the existing grids and delivered by existing utilities.Transmission line will go to both CEA
and HEA and from there, transmission by existing grid.
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.
TATEC is preparing a Lease Application to Alaska Department of Natural Resources. It is
anticipated that TATEC can obtain a permit for testing and exploration in the area designated
and licensed by FERC, restricted to use of testing equipment that can be removed from the inlet
within 24 hours. After permitting process and engineering are completed, TATEC expects to
lease the specific land used for the project.

TATEC received a Preliminary Permit from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission in
February, 2010 for the Turnagain Arm Tidal Electrical Generation Project (P-13509).Information
on this project can be viewed on-line at the FERC website.(https://www.ferc.gov/docs-
filing/elibrary.asp)
The other Federal agencies (Corps of Engineers, Coast Guard, National Marine Fisheries) have
said they see FERC as the lead agency and will follow their lead. The next phase of the FERC
process, the preparation of the Preliminary Application Document will answer a great many of
the questions for both the Federal and State agencies, as a survey of all available information on
environmental, historical, and geological along with preliminary engineering design is being
done.
TATEC hopes to have a temporary Land Lease from ADNR by December 2010 which will allow
TATEC to do research and investigation in the same area as that designated in our FERC
Preliminary Permit with a permanent lease to be issued before construction.
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
Threatened or Endangered species
Cook Inlet Beluga whales have been listed as threatened by ESA. Scientific literature
and recent research and project reports on fish and whales in the inlet will be evaluated
by biologists and integrated with engineering plans.TATEC will work with National
Marine Fisheries Services to meet the standards for protecting the threatened species as
well as other important species in the inlet.
Habitat issues
Habitat issues will be identified in the process of researching existing literature on the
inlet and further research indicated by the results. A specialized consultant will be hired
for this task. Mitigation plans for any identified habitat issues will be coordinated with
State, Federal, and engineering designers to avoid or mitigate issues that are identified.
Reports will be prepared for the PAD for application for the FERC license.TATEC has
made the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration aware of the project plans.
Renewable Energy Fund
Grant Application Round IV
AEA 11-005 Application Page 19 of 119 7/21/2010
Kate Savage of National Marine Fisheries Services, Protected Resources/marine
mammal issues, and Susan Walker for Habitat Conservation/fish issues have been
assigned to work with TATEC on this project.
Wetlands and other protected areas
TATEC anticipates minimal disturbance of coastal wetlands with the burial of submarine
cable. This will be done in a 3 ft. deep trench across wetlands on both the Anchorage
and the Kenai side. The work will be planned in coordination with the borough coastal
planners and DNR to avoid any disturbance of protected species of plants or animals. An
investigation of affected wetlands will be done by specialized consultants in preparation
of the PAD for the application for the FERC license and information will be used in the
engineering plans to mitigate for any potential hazards.
Archaeological and historical resources
A historical archeologist will research Native activity in the areas involving the project and
will address the issues discovered in planning and engineering design and construction.
Land development constraints
The major portion of the project is located in the water, and involves a land corridor for
transmission lines.TATEC plans to use existing utility corridors for transmission lines.
The land underlying the inlet is controlled by the State of Alaska, and TATEC is applying
to the State for a lease for the specific land used. There will also be two control
buildings: one located in the Municipality of Anchorage and the other in the Municipality
of Kenai.
Telecommunications interference
The project would not interfere with telecommunications. Existing phone services would
be used to communicate with the project site in the inlet.
Aviation considerations
The project will not interfere with aviation. The tallest transmission line will be about 40 ft.
above ground which is within FAA guidelines.
Visual, aesthetics impacts
Because the location of the project will be at a distance of several miles from the shore,
and the turbines will be under water with only the platform about 10 ft. above the high tide
level, the site will not be noticeable from the coastline, and the aesthetics of the inlet
should not be altered.
Identify and discuss other potential barriers
We are not aware of any other barriers.

ongoing reporting requirements for the purpose of reporting impacts of projects on the
communities they serve.)
Renewable Energy Fund
Grant Application Round IV
AEA 11-005 Application Page 21 of 119 7/21/2010
The project operating and maintenance cost is about 1% of the capital cost for a 1200 megawatt
power plant.The project would produce 1200 MW X 24 hours/day X 365 days = 10.312 trillion
watts per year.(1% of the capital cost per year was suggested by the 2010 Black and Veatch
report as the O&M cost for this kind of project.)
$2,520,000,000 X 0.01 = $25.2 million per year O & M cost
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
The potential power buyers are the six rail belt utility companies; namely, CEA, ML&P, Homer
Electric, Seward Electric, Golden Valley Electric, and two military bases in Fairbanks.
The potential power purchase price would be between 6¢ and 8¢ per kilowatt hour.
For the price of 6¢/kilowatt hour, the return to investors would be about 10%; for 8¢/kWh, the
return would be 12.26%. These numbers are based on full operation revenue less operation and
maintenance; real estate tax of 2%; Federal tax of 35%; State income tax of 22.5%. The profit
after tax on a total investment of $2.520 billion dollars would be $231,642,300.

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
Potential annual fuel displacement (gal and $) over the lifetime of the evaluated
renewable energy project
Calculating the annual displacement of natural gas and coal over the lifetime (20 years)
would yield the following:
1200 MW X 24 h/day X 365 days/year X 20 years
=10.312 trillion W X 20 years = 206.24 trillion W
= 206.24 trillion W X 16¢ per kW/hr
= $32,994,400,000. Or $32.99 billion dollars if the natural gas costs $0.16/kW hour
Anticipated annual revenue (based on i.e. a Proposed Power Purchase Agreement price,
RCA tariff, or cost based rate)
Anticipated annual revenue for full production would be as follows:
1200 MW X 24 hr X 365 days X $0.08/kW = $840,960,000. per year
Potential additional annual incentives (i.e. tax credits)
At 2¢ per kW hour tax credit, a savings of $210,240,000.would be realized. We hope the
State of Alaska S.B. #31 will pass next session for tax relief.
Potential additional annual revenue streams (i.e. green tag sales or other renewable
energy subsidies or programs that might be available)
The only other additional saving is that the D.O.E. has a low interest renewable energy
loan program which will yield savings over a convention bank loan of 14.5% to perhaps
6% which is a savings of $218,450,000.in debt service.
If a Federal carbon tax law is passed, this project will provide additional revenue streams,
potentially in millions or hundreds of millions of dollars.
Discuss the non-economic public benefits to Alaskans over the lifetime of the project
The non-economic public benefits for Alaskans over 20 years will be as follows:
No emissions of CO₂and SO₂into the atmosphere will eliminate 20 X 100 million tons of
CO₂and SO₂that would otherwise be emitted. All Alaskans will breathe easier. It will

save over 200,000 lives if currently, 10,000 Alaskans are dying of lung related sickness.
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
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
Proposed business structure(s) and concepts that may be considered.
The project will sell electricity to six rail belt utilities and mining companies and other
heavy electricity using industries such as petrochemical and LNG plants. The annual
revenue will cover all the expenses.
How you propose to finance the maintenance and operations for the life of the
project?
In full production, if the electricity is sold at 8¢ per kilowatt hour, it will bring in
$840,960,000. Per year. The cost of operation and maintenance will be 1¢ per kilowatt
hour or 1%of capital cost or $25,200,000. Per year which will be funded by the project’s
income.
Identification of operational issues that could arise.
The operational issues are similar to those of any utility company: some caused by failure
of equipment; some caused by human error. Both can be resolved by training an
experienced crew to operate the facility and minimize risk factors and identify potential
risks.
A description of operational costs including on-going support for any back-up or existing
systems that may be require to continue operation
The six rail belt electrical generation utilities will be used in peak demand and other
emergency situations. The existing system will keep on working, but at a lower capacity,
or just a few hours per day.
Commitment to reporting the savings and benefits
TATEP will have an open book and transparency policy to satisfy FERC and State
regulatory agencies. Any saving and benefits will be passed along to consumers and
investors.

partners along with a $2,000,000. Grant from AEA. Grant money will be used for preparing a
preliminary Application Document and Notice of Intent to File for a License from the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission, as well as financial and economic analysis; risk management
and construction management analysis. A consultant with the Louis Berger Group, Inc. will be
enlisted to direct the permitting process. In addition, funds will be used to complete the
permitting process with Alaska Department of Natural Resources and other Federal entities with
oversight of the environment and lands involved.
$180,000. raised by TATEC will be used in the Feasibility for environmental studies,
bathymetric studies, engineering studies, conceptual design, and business and economic
analysis. TATEC is exploring possible joint ventures with Alaska Native corporations that may
wish to invest in the project.
For the Design and Permitting Stage and the Construction phase, TATEC will apply for a DOE
or other renewable energy program that provides an 80% government construction loan
guarantee. Singa Mas Investments Holding Ltd. of Hong Kong, a Singapore based company,
will invest 20% of the estimated $2.52 billion project as described in an MOU signed in 2009.
