Refer to Section 1.5 of RFA. This proposal consists of a Phase I - Reconnaissance effort for a project that meets the criteria of Section 1.5 of the RFA; that is, it is a new project not in operation on August 20, 2008 and is a project that generates energy from the direct use of hydropower. 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. The City of Whittier proposes conducting a renewable energy project consisting of a reconnaissance level effort to examine the viability of hydropower on Whittier Creek in Whittier, Alaska. The work will include engineering analysis, an economic study, and two years of stream gauge data gathering. The final product will include an estimated generation capacity, a preliminary cost estimate for a hydropower facility, and a preliminary analysis of the potential benefits (i.e. power cost savings over time). This effort will be performed by the Alaska District Corps of Engineers with assistance from the Corps of Engineers Hydroelectric Design Center based out of Portland, Oregon, with stream gauging to be performed by the USGS. The City of Whittier proposes conducting a renewable energy project consisting of a reconnaissance level effort to examine the viability of hydropower on Whittier Creek in Whittier, Alaska. Although Chugach Electric currently provides electricity to Whittier, frequent and prolonged outages, particularly during the winter months, necessitates the need to develop alternate energy sources for a local generation system that could also supply the Railbelt when not needed as a primary provider to the community. The project would assess the potential for the development of Whittier into a sustainable community that utilizes renewable energy systems. 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. This Phase I Reconnaissance level effort can be performed at a cost of $200,000. The project costs are summarized as follows: Stream Gauging - $60,000 Preliminary Engineering Analysis - $80,000 Preliminary Economic Analysis - $30,000 Corps Coordination and Review - $15,000 Whittier Coordination and Review - $15,000 Total for Phase I Reconnaissance - $200,000 This project was authorized by Congress under Section 5007 of the Water Resources Development Act of 2007 (Public Law 110-114). This section states as follows: "[t]he Secretary shall expedite completion of [the feasibility study] and, if the Secretary determines that the project is feasible, shall expedite completion of construction for ... the project for navigation, AEA 09-004 Grant Application Page 3 of 11 9/312008 ALASKA Renewable Energy Fund 401D ENERGY AUTHORITY Grant Application Whittier, Alaska." This language was subsequently expanded to include hydroelectric on Whittier Creek as part of a broader Watershed Study. The USACE and City are contributing funding and in -kind services in the amount of $850,000 toward the project. The City is requesting matching funds through the AEA Renewable Energy Fund in the amount of $100,000. Although the scope of the any construction is contingent upon future project phases (i.e. resource assessment/ feasibility analysis/conceptual design; final design and permitting feasibility, it is estimated that the total project cost would be in the $3 million range. 2.4 PROJECT 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. The financial and economic benefits that will result from this project will be quantified though this and subsequent phases of the project. As previously noted, the work will include engineering analysis, an economic study, and two years of stream gauge data gathering. The final product will include an estimated generation capacity, a preliminary cost estimate for a hydropower facility, and a preliminary analysis of the potential benefits (i.e. power cost savings over time). If feasible and constructed, the project could provide substantial economic benefit to the State of Alaska by reducing fuel costs to produce power serving the Intertie. Alaska needs reliable, economic, sustainable and secure power supplies to meet the state's economic, environmental, and educational development goals. Electric power generation needs of the Alaska are expected to increase dramatically over the next twenty years and beyond. The state must continue to be active in its pursuit of developing new generation technologies to improve the efficiencies of present and future energy generation facilities and must be self-sufficient. This project would assess the potential for the development of the Community of Whittier into a sustainable energy community that utilizes renewable energy systems for residences and commercial enterprises. Although connected to the Railbelt Intertie, Whittier has no community - wide local power generation system and is subject to major power outages; the knowledge gained through this effort could be transferred to other similarly situated communities throughout Alaska. The proposed project would produce hydroelectric power, a clean energy technology that benefits the Alaskan public and the entire nation through the reduction of carbon and other greenhouse gas emissions. 2.5 PROJECT COST AND BENEFIT SUMARY Include a summary of your project's total costs and benefits below. 2.5.1 Total Project Cost (including estimates through construction. $3,000,000 2.5.2 Grant Funds Requested in this application. $85,000 2.5.3 Other Funds to be provided (Project match) $115,000 2.5.4 Total Grant Costs (sum of 2.5.2 and 2.5.3) $200,000 2.5.5 Estimated Benefit (Savings) $TBD 2.5.6 Public Benefit (If you can calculate the benefit in terms of dollars please provide that number here and explain how you calculated that number in your application. $TBD AEA 09-004 Grant Application Page 4 of 11 9/3/2008 /©ALASKA Renewable Energy Fund C) ENERGY AUTHORITY Grant Application SECTION 3 — PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN Describe who will be responsible for managing the project and provide a plan for successfully completing the project within the scope, schedule and budget proposed in the application. 3.1 Project Manager Tell us who will be managing the project for the Grantee and include a resume and references for the manager(s).
