After more than a year of planning and intensive stakeholder engagement, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) approved 58 environmental studies. Quality data was collected that will result in more being understood about the Susitna Basin than ever before. The Alaska Energy Authority (AEA) collaborated with the Alaska Department of Fish and Game to provide synergy between Susitna-Watana Hydro fisheries studies and other work in the Matanuska- Susitna region. Perhaps most exciting is the partnership with the private sector. The scope of work not only requires environmental and engineering contractors to be brought on board, but the positive economic impacts expand to local restaurants, hardware stores, boat operators, retailers and more. As we look to 2014, Susitna-Watana Hydro enters another phase of the multi- year FERC licensing effort. AEA will prioritize the critical items, including environmental studies, that will continue to advance the project. The financial advisory team is putting together financing proposals and has reaffirmed that Susitna-Watana Hydro is a valuable and financially sound project. Stakeholder engagement will continue to play a critical role in project success. The project team is committed to engaging with Alaskans. A management -level position was added to lead this important project component and to focus on positive working relationships with the Alaska Native regional and village corporations and tribes within and near the project area. AEA has a full suite of programs designed to reduce the cost of energy in Alaska by diversifying Alaska's energy portfolio, informing energy policy and planning, developing energy infrastructure and providing technical training and assistance. Susitna-Watana Hydro plays an important role in achieving our mission and in moving the state toward our goal of 50 percent renewable power by 2025. We will continue our work toward a process that engages stakeholders, resource agencies, regulators and Alaskans to develop a safe, renewable energy resource that has the potential to provide clean, reliable power for 100+ years. I am proud of the small and dedicated project team and of all of our top-notch contractors and the work we have accomplished.

During the past 12 months, the Alaska Energy Authority commenced the implementation of the Susitna-Watana Hydro study plan with two key achievements: conducting elements of 58 Federal Energy Regulatory Commission -approved studies in 11 critical categories and strengthening a culture of safety. An estimated 350 scientists, archeologists, biologists and other specialists worked in the field, collecting water samples, radio -tagging fish, studying cultural resources and much, much more. The Susitna-Watana Hydro team stressed and fostered a culture of safety and this commitment was recognized by other resource agencies and individuals in the field. The project study area spans from the mouth of the Cook Inlet to the glacial headwaters of the Alaska Range. With an area of this magnitude, extensive coordination and project management are at the forefront. 2013 was a year of successes for Susitna-Watana Hydro and forward momentum continues toward filing for a FERC license. We have moved closer to clean, reliable, affordable energy for generations of Alaskans. Alaska is one of the nation's most important energy producers and leads the way in investments in renewable and alternative energy sources. We have committed to a goal of 50 percent renewable power by 2025 and Susitna-Watana Hydro can make this a reality. r;? A YEAR OF SUCCESSES FERC approval and studies under way Tlwerre<was a.sia pikant step toward filing for the federal hydropower license. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) approved the Susitna- Watana Hydro environmental study plan, which includes 58 studies in categories such as geology and soi&, water, resourzces and fish. (Please read more about the categories at Susitna-WatanaHydro.oro/ stud�olan.) The FERC licensing process is extremely iterative, with many public comment periods and opportunities for stakeholder collaboration. The -development of the environmental study plan included dozens of full -day technical meetings with federal and state resource agencies, Alaska Native regional and village corporations, environmental organizations and stakeholders. During the course of a year and a half, several drafts were proposed and comments Geology & Soils Water Resources Instream Flow Studies: Fish Aquatics & Riparian Fish & Aquatic Resources Wildlife Resources Botanical Resources Recreation & Aesthetic Resources Cultural & Paleontological Resources Subsistence Resources Socioeconomic & Transportation Project Safety war+-.�� K-•�..-.�.�. and suggestions from stakeholders and FERC were incorporated into the final study plan. Perhaps most significant, FERC endorsed the scientific approach to the studies and moved the project toward implementing the work. After receiving FERC approval, an unprecedented environmental study of the Susitna Basin was underway. Biologists, engineers, hydrologists, archeologists and scientists of many other disciplines began collecting valuable data to build upon the 3,000 reports fielded as part of the 1980s effort and the early studies initiated in 2012. The project team was able to keep the studies on schedule and budget while meeting critical licensing milestones. Results from these studies will be released throughout the coming months. Culture of safety The Alaska Energy Authority has worked hard to establish safe work practices and guidelines for all personnel involved in the project. This year, we brought an experienced team leader on board as health, safety, environment and stakeholder manager and additional HSE. contract support was provided. A logistics management firm was hired to manage the field operations and emphasize the culture of safety in the field. Not only was it important to remain vigilant on Susitna-Watana Hydro's efforts, but to be aware of surrounding projects and coordinate to ensure safe operations. -AEA staff was on site weekly to attend safety briefings, visit field camps and talk to crews in the field_ No major safety incidents were reported this field season. Financing Work is underway to develop potential financing models for Susitna- Watana Hydro. A leading, independent financial -advisory firm has been hired and reconfirmed that Susitna-Watana Hydro remains a viable and financially feasible project. Engineering The engineering feasibility report will be complete in spring 2014. Work is underway with the internationally -experienced Board of Consultants to determine the means to construct the safest structure possible, designed to withstand significant seismic and flooding events. Stakeholder engagement As one of the most significant state resource development projects in recent years, Alaskans expect to be kept informed about Susitna Watana Hydro and efforts to advance the federal licensing process. A management -level position was added for the critical role of engaging stakeholders, including Alaska Native regional and village corporation land owners in the project area. More than 100 public meetings and presentations about Susitna-Watana Hydro were held during 2013, demonstrating the commitment of an open, accurate and collaborative approach to managing stakeholder expectations. Focus was placed on online resources to provide cost-effective communications tools. Hydroelectric power is one of the longest term, least expensive ways to produce electricity and has the added,bemei tssof being! relliablJe,. clean and local', Susitna-Watana Hydro will stabilize energy costs for nearly 80 of percent Alaskans, from Fairbanks through M Siv,andAnchomge:to Nomer, inspiring confidence in Alaska as a stable place to do business. After two cost estimates and a third independent cost estimate, project costs remain $5.19 billion. These costs include current licensing activities; construction of the project, roads and all related facilities; and transmission of electricity from the project to the Railbelt Intertie. AEA has hired an independent financial -advisory firm, which will work with AEA throughout the next year to define the range of'financing opportunities. It has reaffirmed that SusitnaMatana Hydro remains a viable and financeable project.. The State of Alaska has the potential to recover its investment in Susitna-Watana Hydro while providing long-term and affordable power. Susitna-Watana Hydro vs. Natural Gas Power Costs 45 SUS1TU-t4ATF SA. IIIY : COST OF POWER AEA projects that the cost of power from Susitna-Watana Hydro will be competitive with other sources at start-up, even with no direct State investment, then grow more affordable over time until Susitna-Watana Hydro is one of the most economic energy sources in the state. In addition, the project will help insulate Alaska's energy costs from inflation, giving confidence to investors and stabilizing operating costs for businesses. The Alaska Energy Authority is currently working with a financial -advisory firm to further define potential financing options that allow the State to recoup its initial investment, including licensing costs. One potential and successful model ESTIMATED POWER COSTS ($/kWh) for a state-owned hydroelectric project is Bradley Lake. Through power sales agreements, the State will be repaid for its initial investment in Bradley Lake, beginning in 2021.

The peak direct -workforce is anticipated to about 1,000 during construction. The permanent operation and maintenance crew will be smaller, likely to work shifts at the facility and travel by plane or helicopter. Susitna-Watana Hydro will also provide jobs tangentially by purchasing goods and services from Alaska businesses. Local small businesses are already receiving economic benefit in support of the field activities. Local restaurants, lodges, tackle shops, hardware stores, boat operators and more are providing goods and services to field crews and the project team. Construction of a large hydro project includes roads, a powerhouse and related facilities, and the dam site itself. Carpenters, welders, truck drivers, electricians, pipefitters and laborers will be needed for the estimated seven-year construction period. Alaskans are poised to benefit from these opportunities. 41 - ;r �!%�''; - •' dr. '.:• _ •' e .yam ►. ' ' ti ;•�•�" r �r . y'•.

'v �- � •ad[r � � i �r�r. ;• -+ .r 41 This spring and early summer, the Alaska Energy Authority began implementing the environmental study plan for Susitna-Watana Hydro. This effort includes 58 individual studies, approved by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission earlier in the year. Current efforts build upon the 3,000 reports filed as part of the 1980s licensing effort, the 18 early studies conducted in 2012. and, management data that the Alaska Department of Fish and Game has continued to collect- Elements of all 58 studies were conducted this year and results will be released to the Alaska Legislature and general public in the coming months. A complete list of the 58 studies included in the environmental study effort is available online at Susitna-WatanaMydro orgjstudy plan. An estimated 350 scientists, surveyors, archeologists, biologists and other specialists traveled by helicopter to the project site and began studying the surrounding environment, a total of nearly 186,000 acres. The studies will produce data on virtually every facet of the region, everything from water, cultural and botanical resources to land mammals, birds and fish. When the studies are completed, Alaska will have the benefit of knowing more about the Susitna Basin than ever before and will be one step closer to a valuable hydropower license. This will enable us to design and enforce specific procedures for engineering, construction and operation of the project to provide a balance between the need for power and environmental concerns. Fisheries and'aquatics, namely the five species of salmon, continue to be a key focus of study for the project. This effort spans from the mouth of the Cook Inlet to the Upper Susitna River. The environmental study team is building upon previous studies on salmon migration and habitat in the Susitna River and its side channels and tributaries. This effort is also highly -coordinated with the Alaska Department of Fish & Game, their management data and Matanuska-Susitna study efforts - More than 20D miles of the mainstem Susitna River and 25 tributaries were mapped during the summer of 2013 Biologists and scientists were in the field manning fish wheels, electro-tagging fish, monitoring screw traps, angling, dip netting snorkeling and trapping minnows, all in the effort to better understand all life stages of salmon, resident fish like grayling and trout, and their respective habitats_ Research is indicating that Chinook salmon primarily spawn in Susitna River tributaries, with limited spawning in the mainstem of the Susitna River and Susitna River side -channels. Hydroelectric projects can provide benefit by maintaining flow levels in important spawning habitat and reducing impacts from either dangerously high or low water levels The United States Geological Survey (USES) has been tracking the flows of the Susitna River at Gold Creek for more than 50 years AENs studies include year-round information collection regarding Susitna River water levels and extensive modeling. The study efforts will aid in the development of future project operations and to shape enhancement efforts. Chinook Salmon and Devils Canyon Only one species of salmon, Chinook, has been documented within 30 miles of the project site, and only in very, small numbers. It is important to note that the project site is located 22 to 32 river miles above Devils Canyon, a narrow and highly -turbulent section of the river that acts as a natural impediment to migrating fish. Of the 58 studies in the Susitna-Watana Hydro study plan, nearly half are dedicated to understanding the Susitna River fish, water quality, flows and aquatic resources. Chinook salmon and Devils Canyon Only one salmon species has been documented within 30 miles of the project site. �l 0 „rt_ 41t a Devils Above Canyon Project Site Of the Chinook tagged at Curry, 94 percent headed up the tributaries; 6 percent stayed in the main stem. 10 susirna-WaUsr HYDRO ��pqE � yr r .d i • _�M1 _�.y. r _ f' F +.�3 l�L• �4„leyf' �t af:i tip.•' ,,IL Tgy. �`� -� •�.�,,.`.�►• ...ram .� :�,~ � � �C r. �� •- .. rr-�� NIP PRIORITIZING FOR SUCCESS Few projects have been as important to Alaska's energy future as Susitna-Watana Hydro If the trans -Alaska pipeline made it possible for Alaska to develop into one of our nation's strongest economies, Susitna-Watana Hydro will allow for continued growth by providing affordable electricity rates and a reliable source of power that will supply Alaska with clean energy for the next 100 years. A task this important requires the very best people at the helm and in the field, and we have assembled a truly first-rate team. The project area is remote and accessible only by helicopter. A strategic approach to logistics is important to ensure a safe, cost-effective and successful field season The Susitna-Watana Hydro team approached the 2013 field season with the following five priorities- 1 Field safety and an integrated culture focused on health, safety and environment 2.Optimize efficiencies and maximize data collection 3 Control costs 4. Reduce risks and environmental impact 5. Minimize impacts on locals and recreational users A small, core group of project team members is responsible for managing a multitude of contractors with the goal of safely and effectively conducting field work. It is the responsibility and priority of the project team to ensure effective use of resources This includes constant communication between contractors it the field and project team members based in Anchorage. This type of coordination isn't limited to team meetings, but also includes a detailed scheduling mechanism to track schedule and budget variances. Field audits were routinely conducted by project team staff Asa result, Susitna-Watana Hydro executed a safe field season that remained on schedule and budget .�+• 'i •�. �M�+- •^..r.• � �~ 5�T .-- � � i^awl.

A critical component of Susitna-Watana Hydro's outreach has been the project website, Susitna-WatanaHydro.oro. The site was retooled this year to include more "Frequently Asked Questions" and opportunities to provide factual answers that address misperceptions.The online conversation was expanded to include social media sites like Facebook. These online interactions provide a critical opportunity for Alaskans across the state to ask questions of the project team and become involved in project development. We are particularly eager to share the results of the studies we conducted in 2013, which will be released early in 2014. More than 60 project meetings were held this year and AEA has provided Web and phone -based connectivity to expand accessibility. More than 50 presentations were given to community groups across Alaska. Some discussions were with small groups and others to audiences of a couple hundred people and more. Engaging Stakeholders Alaska is a patchwork of land ownership, including state and federal lands and a mix of private lands that include Alaska Native regional and village corporations. Understanding and respecting this complex land status is critical to stakeholder outreach. During the spring of 2013, historic land settlement agreements were reached. More than 40 years after the passage of the Alaska Native 14 SUSITIMAIFTANA HYDRO Claims Settlement Act, Cook Inlet Region Inc. (CIRI) transferred more than 230,000 acres to the Cook Inlet village corporations. Some of the lands conveyed are within the proposed Susitna-Watana Hydro project area. The Cook Inlet Region Working Group serves as the point of contact for AEA on land access issues. Stakeholder engagement, namely with the landowners, remains a critical focus for Susitna- Watana Hydro. A management -level staff member was added to focus on these important relationships while exploring potential opportunities for economic development. In addition to CIRI and the Cook Inlet village corporations, AEA is working to keep open channels of communications with tribes and regional corporations near the project area. Ahtna Inc. has lands adjacent to the project area and the Ahtna people have historical and cultural ties to the region. Ahtna representatives remain a valuable participant in the licensing process.

Alaska Energy Authority is committed to listening to and considering all concerns. We believe that the importance of the project makes it imperative for AEA to continue to communicate accurate information to keep Alaskans, particularly landowners near the project area, informed as the project progresses. An important aspect of our public outreach is maintaining a presence on social media, such as Facebook. These "new media" platforms allow us to communicate information about the project to a worldwide audience on a frequent basis for very little expense. r .Y' JL ... +' k'• Y �i, 1 ` � . . _- cif .. - , - .` _ Awl CONTINUING PROGRESS IN 2014 AND BEYOND In the days prior to this report going to print, behind funding levels.
