SECTION 2 — PROJECT SUMMARY
Provide a brief 1-2 page overview of your project.
2.1 PROJECT TYPE
Describe the type of project you are proposing, (Reconnaissance; Resource Assessment/
Feasibility Analysis/Conceptual Design; Final Design and Permitting; and/or Construction) as
well as the kind of renewable energy you intend to use. Refer to Section 1.5 of RFA.
We propose to accomplish the first three phases of a project to integrate one or more renewable
energy resources with a properly sized efficient diesel plant.
During Phase I Reconnaissance and Phase II Resource Assessment/Feasibility
Analysis/Conceptual Design we will evaluate the geothermal, hydro, and wind resources of
Adak Island.
Phase III, Final Design and Permitting, will reflect the winning resource(s) from Phase ll.
We also request funds for a Phase IV Construction project. The power plant in Adak was
designed and constructed in 1964 for a 6000 person military base. The diesel plant is grossly
oversized for the current population of 150 - 200, in sorry shape, and is extremely inefficient. It
is an environmental disaster with both asbestos and PCB contamination. In preparation for the
integration of renewable power, we request funding to procure a new diesel engine with the
proper controls. Adak is in dire need of this new and properly sized power plant, and the engine
selected will integrate well with either a wind, geothermal or small hydro follow on project.
2.2 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Provide a one paragraph description of your project. At a minimum include the project location,
communities to be served, and who will be involved in the grant project.
Adak is a former military base now owned by the Aleut Corporation (TAC). It is located on Adak
Island near the end of Alaska's Aleutian Island Chain. Presently there are approximately 75
residents at a base where a population of 6,000 military personnel and their families were once
housed. The site was turned over to TAC by the US Navy in 1999. TAC aspires to re -populate
the island with shareholders and employees of the fishing industry. The location is in good
fishing grounds and has an established processing plant. The US Navy houses and Missile
Defense Agency house an enormous radar facility in the harbor there for part of the year. This
expensive piece of equipment requires reliable shore -based power.
The RCA recently ruled that the City of Adak was not capable of managing nor operating the
utility electric utility. TDX Power agreed to take over the utility while the people of Adak were
under emergency conditions. TDX Adak Generating, LLC will complete the project using
personnel from its parent company, TDX Power.
2.3 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. Include a project cost summary that includes an estimated total cost
through construction.
The estimated total cost for this project is $ 900,00.00
2.4PROJECT BENEFIT
Briefly discuss the financial benefits that will result from this project, including an estimate of economic

benefits (such as reduced fuel costs) and a description of other benefits to the Alaskan public.
Currently the community of Adak is totally reliant on diesel fuel for electricity and for heat. The
recent high cost of diesel has convinced TDX Power and the community that developing a
renewable energy resource is their best bet for the future.
Displacing diesel makes economic sense for the community and for the Alaskan public.
Subsidizing the high price of diesel powered heat and power for remote locations when there
are ample local renewable resources available is not in the best interest of the local population
or the Alaskan public.

We will start this project immediately upon the receipt of funds. A met tower from the AEA was erected in Adak
in 2006 by the City of Adak. However, the data logger was never installed — so no data was collected. TDX
Power, dba TDX Adak Generating, LLC, will install a data logger during the month of December 2008 and start
the process of data collection immediately. TDX will also commence assessment of the hydro and geothermal
resources during this period.
3.3 Project Milestones
Define key tasks and decision points in your project and a schedule for achieving them.
Feasibility studies for all three renewable resources should be complete by February 2010. At that time we will
determine which resource is most economically advantageous to develop.
The Conceptual design and Final design will soon follow that decision, and we expect to complete the Final
Design and Permitting by April of 2010.
3.4 Project Resources
Describe the personnel, contractors, equipment, and services you will use to accomplish the project. 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
TDX Power will primarily use internal personnel to manage and carry out the proposed 3 phase project scope.
For the hydro resource Montgomery, Watson, and Harza will be hired. For the geothermal resource , TDx will
supplement existing engineering and project development personel with Roger Bowers, a geologist specializing
in the development of geothermal resources for power generation. Resumes of key personnel and brief
descriptions of subcontractors are attached to this application.
3.5 Project Communications
Discuss how you plan to monitor the project and keep the Authority informed of the status.
TDX Power will maintain close contact with TDX Adak Generating employees on the island and provide on -site
management assistance as needed.
TDX Power will provide regular detailed reports to the AEA on the progress of this project in quarterly reports as
AEA 09-004 Grant Application Page 5 of 12 9/3/2008

Grant Application
required.
3.6 Project Risk
Discuss potential problems and how you would address them.
The number one problem this project will face is maritime weather and its remote location. TDX Power's roots in
the Aleutian Islands prepare them well for dealing with both these issues. Unlike most Aleutian communities
Adak has jet service, which helps somewhat with getting a crew and supplies to the island.
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 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 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 that may be
available for the market to be served by your project.
Being an island, Adak has potential for wave or tidal power. But this technology is not yet
commercially available.
There is a hydro resource near the community which holds great promise. Hydro is a very good
possibility for this community as a year round economical energy resource.
There are known hot springs on Adak Island, but at this point the only obvious geothermal
anomalies are in the remote areas of the island farthest from the community. More detailed
exploration is required to determine if there are developable resources closer to the community.
A seismic study is being planned for Unalaska Island this summer that may also include Akutan.
Equipment from Colorado is being brought in from Colorado. TDX hopes to include Adak as
well, reducing the Mob/Demob costs for all involved.
An abundance of reliable anecdotal information declares a more than adequate wind resource in
the area. The sign above the airport door proclaims Adak "The Birthplace of the Wind". The
Wind Resource Map of Alaska identifies Adak as a Class 7 resource. Wind -diesel hybrid power
is mature technology that is growing rapidly in rural Alaska. But in the case of wind, it is possible
to have too much of a good thing. Only site specific monitoring will determine the value of wind
to Adak.
4.2 Existing Energy System

Renewable Energy Fund
Grant Application
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. ace. efficiencv. and tvoe of aeneration.
The existing Adak generating plant is an old Combined heat and Power Plant designed for the
navy in the early 1940's. As referenced above in this application, Power plant 3, as it is
affectionately known, is far too large (80,000 square feet) and improperly configured to meet the
requirements of the new community population of 150+ residents.
The existing configuration includes six old Cooper Bessemer units, rated at 2+MW each, and
three smaller Caterpillar 3516's, installed 15 years ago to provide black start capability to the
larger cooper based plant. Two of the three caterpillar units are well beyond their useful life,
currently inoperable, and not good candidates for further investment. The 3rd Caterpillar until is in
need of an overhaul, and if it were not the only working unit on the island, would also not be a
good candidate for further investment.
TDX Proposes to temporarily replace one of the three 3516 units with a new Caterppillar 3512
with the intent that it will handle a growing, total community load comfortably without wind, hydro
or geothermal integration, and once a new renewable plant is developed, can be moved in to the
new plant and expected to work with good low load efficiency.
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.
Currently Adak uses diesel fuel to generate electricity and heat homes. As mentioned earlier,
the diesel plant on island is very old and grossly oversized for the current community. A new
efficient diesel engine will significantly reduce the amount of diesel currently required to keep the
lights on in Adak. A new diesel plant with a generator capable of carrying the entire community
load while also being able to run efficiently at low load once the hydro or wind resource comes
on line.
There are significant liquid fuel storage facilities on Adak Island, to say the least.
4.2.3 Existing Energy Market
Discuss existing energy use and its market. Discuss impacts your project may have on energy
customers.
According to the former utility, the community was not on PCE, didn't bill customers regularly,
and records of fuel use compared to kWh sold are scarce to nonexistent. We can safely assume
that this project will have a positive effect on customers who are used to brownouts, blackouts,
and going so far as to donate 5 gallon cans of diesel to keep the generators running. The people
of Adak are looking forward to reliable power and a utility with the vision to integrate a renewable
resource and reduce diesel consumption.
Stabilizing and/or lowering the cost of electrifying and heating the community will have a positive
effect on Adak. Residents deserve and sustainable economic development requires reliable
reasonable and stable energy prices.

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
Our first priority is to install a Caterpillar 1300 kW 1200 rpm 3512C — a generator with a 60%
load variation with excellent fuel economy.
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 majority of land in Adak is owned by The Aleut Corporation, and the rest is owned
by the City of Adak. Both entities have agreed to make land available for whatever
resource will be developed.
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
The following agencies will be contacted for preliminary approval prior to final site selection and
met tower installation. Permits will be requested as appropriate upon completion of the
conceptual design.
FAA
Coastal Zone Management
SHPO
Department of Defense
USFWS
When contacted about the anemometer installation, USFWS endangered species biologist Ellen
Lance said there was no need for concern on Adak. The military has installed far more hazards
for birds on Adak Island than any single tower could ever create.
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
AEA 09-004 Grant Application Page 8 of 12 9/3/2008
/® ALASHKA
Renewable Energy Fund
Grant Application
• 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
Adak is a former military installation. All environmental considerations have been violated many
times since WWII. A new diesel plant and renewable energy resource development will improve
environmental conditions on Adak. Any project we develop will avoid creating
telecommunications interference. The FAA has already approved the current met tower site.
4.4 Proposed New System Costs (Total Estimated Costs and proposed 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
At this time we can only project for this phase, $ 900,000 and provide the estimated
capital cost for a follow on wind project of $1,400,000 in the Draft AEA Regional Wind
Study.
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.
Total anticipated project cost for this phase
Requested grant funding
Applicant will fund O&M for new facilities with operating revenue. No funds are requested at this
time.
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
N/A. TDX Adak generating, LLC is a certificated utility fully regulated by the RCA.

4.4.5 Business Plan
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.
TDX Power recently purchased the electric utility on Adak. The current power plant operator will
remain in her position, but will have supervision and O&M assistance — a new development that
she welcomes. She is interested in training for new skills and will be an asset to the utility under
TDX ownership and operations. TDX will manage this utility in the same manner as Sand Point
with regular visits from John Lyons for O&M oversight to supplement well -trained local operators.
4.4.6 Analysis and Recommendations
Provide information about the economic analysis and the proposed project. Discuss your
recommendation for additional project development work.
Once a thorough analysis of three renewable resources is complete, a thorough
economic analysis including market forecasts, project models and end user rates will be
developed as part of the conceptual design.
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 avoided cost of ownership)
• 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
According to the best information we have at this time (AEA Draft Regional Wind Study), a wind -
diesel project in Adak's Class 7 Resource could displace 1,044,820 gallons of diesel over a 20
year lifespan.
The sale of green tags at today's value of $4.50/MW could bring in $3055.50 annually.
It appears that 547 tons of CO2 could be avoided with the addition of wind energy in Adak. In
and of itself that is not much, but add 10 or so projects like this — which Alaska surely will in the
near future — and the number becomes significant. Adak is surrounded by a productive fishing
ground. Preserving and nurturing this community and the fishing industry it can support benefits
all Alaskans.

As a wholly owned subsidiary of TDX Power, TDX Adak Generating will be financially
supported in both operations and project development. To date, TDX Adak generating
has invested over $200,000 in acquisition activities including several engineering
studies to address the power plant and distribution system. TDX Adak Generating, LLC
will contribute an additional $100,000 to this project. At the same time, TDX Adak
generating has budgeted an additional $250,000 budget for initial investment in taking
over utility operations. This budget will be used to establish a proper administrative side
to the utility, as well as much needed O&M and parts purchasing to the plant which has
experienced unprecedented levels of deferred maintenance.
A budget for the costs is included on the Grant Budget form.
