Level of information detail varies according to phase requirements. 1. Renewable Energy Source The Applicant should demonstrate that the renewable energy resource is available on a sustainable basis. Annual average resource availability. 4.34 MW per Deep Well (HDL Matrix) Unit depends on project type (e.g. windspeed, hydropower output, biomasss fuel) 2. Existing Energy Generation a) Basic configuration (if system is part of the Railbelt1 grid, leave this section blank) i. Number of generators/boilers/other 38 Diesel Engines and Generators ii. Rated capacity of generators/boilers/other 20 MW iii. Generator/boilers/other type Diesel Generation iv. Age of generators/boilers/other Brand New - 34 Year Old White Superior Engines v. Efficiency of generators/boilers/other 14.2 / Gallon Diesel (region) b) Annual O&M cost (if system is part of the Railbelt grid, leave this section blank) i. Annual O&M cost for labor $1.1 Million ii. Annual O&M cost for non-labor $1 Million c) Annual electricity production and fuel usage (fill in as applicable) (if system is part of the Railbelt grid, leave this section blank) i. Electricity [kWh] 45 Million kWh from 17 MW Capacity ii. Fuel usage Diesel [gal] 3.5 Million Gallons Diesel Other Negligible iii. Peak Load 18 MW iv. Average Load 10 MW v. Minimum Load 8 MW (region) vi. Efficiency 14.2 / Gallon Diesel vii. Future trends Oil Prices and Supply Remain Unpredictable Increased Reliance on Base Load Generation from Renewable Energy Hydrogen Production from Low Cost Electric Generation Hydrogen Transportation Demonstration Projects 1 The Railbelt grid connects all customers of Chugach Electric Association, Homer Electric Association, Golden Valley Electric Association, the City of Seward Electric Department, Matanuska Electric Association and Anchorage Municipal Light and Power. Renewable Energy Fund RFA AEA 09-004 Application Cost Worksheet revised 9/26/08 Page 2 d) Annual heating fuel usage (fill in as applicable) i. Diesel [gal or MMBtu] 1.9 Million Gallons Diesel ii.

Project Cost a) Total capital cost of new system $55 Million Geothermal Generation Facility b) Development cost $15 Million Well, Road and Substation c) Annual O&M cost of new system Same as diesel system d) Annual fuel cost $0 5. Project Benefits a) Amount of fuel displaced for i. Electricity 3.5 Million Gallons Diesel ii. Heat 1.9 Million Gallons Diesel iii. Transportation Unknown Hydrogen Production to Augment the System for Maximum Annual Efficiency b) Price of displaced fuel $15,000,000 c) Other economic benefits • Lowering End User Costs for Home Heating Energy • Stable, Firm, Renewable, Secure and Cost Effective • Increased Capacity and Decreased Environmental Liability • Decreased Environmental Liability Costs Renewable Energy Fund RFA AEA 09-004 Application Cost Worksheet revised 9/26/08 Page 3 • Meets Energy Needs for Natural Resource Development • Economic Growth and Diversity • Increased Employment and Rural Sustainability • Higher Capacity Factor than Solar, Wind or Hydro • Nearly Zero Emissions and No Negative Health Impact d) Amount of Alaska public benefits • Controlled Cost of Power • Insulation from Volatile World Energy Market • Increased Security and Decreased Dependency • Substantial Cost Control and PCE Payment Reductions • Reverses Negative Perception about Rural Sustainability • Promotion of Natural Resource Value-Added Industries • Cost Effective Icing Infrastructure Operation •Increase Value of Seafood to Processors and Fleet • Increased Tax Revenue at State and Local Levels • Increased Land Sales and Real Property Tax Revenue • Renewable Energy Produced Hydrogen 6. Power Purchase/Sales Price a) Price for power purchase/sale All wholesale power sales are based on the cost of power plus the cost of interconnection infrastructure 7. Project Analysis a) Basic Economic Analysis Project benefit/cost ratio See Preliminary Geothermal Impact Analysis – First Year Full Operation attached Payback 10 Years – If Confirmation and Construction Costs and Part of Interconnecting Infrastructure Costs are Granted the Overall Benefits to the Region will be Much Higher.
