ALASKA ENERGY:A first step toward energy independence Energy use in each community is composed of three major components:electricity,space heating,and transportation.A resource map was constructed that indicated the available resources for each community.As would be expected,every resource is not available in each community.The other observation was that even with a 30%wind penetration,the remaining 70%of the electrical energy would come from diesel.Diesel can be extremely expensive in rural Alaska.AEA is seeking development of a system using 100%wind for both electric and heat. Artificial Geothermal Wind can provide electricity and heat,but there is a need for assistance when the wind stops. When the wind stops,the hot water would provide heat and could be used to make electricity through a binary phase turbine,similar to the Chena Chiller Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) generator used at Chena Hot Springs. Storage Alaska Center for Energy and Power (ACEP)is currently investigating energy storage technologies.These different technologies may lend themselves to more improved technologies better than others based on the expected storage times.The Cold Climate Housing Research Center (CCHRC)is looking at a large insulated thermal mass that would be heated in the summer time with abundant solar energy,and used as a thermal source for a heat pump to heat buildings in the winter. Energy Conversion The selection of a specific technology is critical for extracting stored energy and converting it to usable energy,but reliability is also a critical factor. Community Sizing Model A generic model,created in Microsoft Access,will be needed to integrate the various options into the community.Basic model variables will include:type and availability of local energy resources,end-use electrical energy by community,and end-use heating energy by community. The model will identify the necessary capacity to the energy supply,storage and conversion AEA Board Meeting June 25,2009 Meeting Minutes Page 3 systems that are either central or distributed to deliver the community end-use energy.The model will also detail the operations and maintenance costs for integrated systems to support a life-cycle cost analysis. Capital Cost Model A database will be developed to combine the community needs information with the Community Sizing model to yield: e Capital cost estimates by community,region and state e Cost of Energy by community,region and state e Per Capita cost by community,region and state Schedule Schedule is attached with a November 30"end date. There will be a Railbelt Regional Integrated Resource Plan (RIRP)Technical Conference on July 7 &8,2009.It is open to the public and everyone is welcome to attend. Renewable Energy Fund HB 152 A public hearing is tentatively scheduled for July 15,2009 for the proposed regulations for the Renewable Energy Fund Grant Program.After review by the Department of Law's Regulations Section,the 30 day public comment period will begin. Brian Bjorkquist said that after public comment period,the proposed regulations will come back to the Board for adoption. In response to question from Mr.Winther,Mike Harper said that funding from the Denali Commission is down approximately 50-75%.There is $10 million for bulk fuel tank farms and power plants this year,down from $20 million in previous years.He said approximately 3.5%of those funds cover administrative costs. The next board meeting will be August 13,2009. 9.PUBLIC COMMENTS Henrich Kadake,Mayor of Kake,Alaska.Thank you for letting me speak for the people of Kake.The city of Kake is shrinking because of the economy.Approximately 10 years ago there were about 1000 people living in Kake when fuel and energy were cheap,and there were a lot of jobs.In the past three years they have lost about 480 people.The school system has dropped from 256 to 88 students.We are looking for a way to get some help to continue the work on our Kake-Petersburg Road and Intertie.|believe that it is going to be one of the biggest things that ever happened in Kake will be if the economy will be revitalized because right nowwehavenothingelse.We are only a fishing village.We don't have a whole lot to offer anybody without cheap energy and good transportation.We are looking for some help to try to continue working on the road and intertie.The permitting part is the next step.|have been working with Steve and Jim and IPEC and Angoon and Hoonah.We've been working for the same thing because we are all under the same umbrella as IPEC as our provider.We realize the only way we are going to get cheap energy is working together.|just want to give you an idea where AEA Board Meeting June 25,2009 Meeting Minutes Page 4 Kake is.In the past two weeks |have had to lay 15 people off in our community because of alackoffundingandalackofjobs.It's getting more and more difficult for our people to live there. |just wanted to come here today to let you know what is happening in my village.|know Kake is not the only village that is suffering,but the only way you are going to get something done is to come and ask and speak on behalf of your community.Thank you for giving me this time to comment. In response to questions from Mr.Winther,Mayor Kadake said they are paying approximately 54 center kWh for electricity.He said the addition of a road would provide a gateway for our transportation.They would be able to produce more value-added products that could be shipped cheaply out of Kake.It might bring the price of milk down from $7 gallon and electricity would do the same.The ability to ship and receive things cheaper,and create more jobs for the people in the community,would stimulate the Kake economy.The fishing fleet would not have to travel more than six hours to Petersburg to pick up ice,fuel and bait.They could leave their boats in Kake and truck their products to Petersburg saving hours of time and money.It would be an asset to everyone in Southeast.Kake is centrally located in the fishing industry. Commissioner von Scheben said that DOT had been working on the Kake-Petersburg road for several years and although there were some legal issues,he thought the project was progressing. Jodi Mitchell,CEO,Inside Passage Electric Cooperative (IPEC).|came with this group today to talk about the combined Kake-Petersburg project.The reason for the combined project is for accessibility to the power line to facilitate maintenance.There are other benefits to the road,access to emergency medical,shopping,air transportation.There are so many benefits from this road project.What we really wanted to kind of hit home,especially for the benefit of Commissioner von Scheben,is what we really need is for you to allocate funds to the project.| guess there is a Roads to Resources fund.|believe the governor put $10 million in the budget for the project.We know you know we have a short season to do things and so whatever we can do this year saves us time next year.We also have some intertie money and we are working on getting permitting accomplished.We want to hit home the point that the two agencies,AEA and DOT,will continue to work together to get this project under way.We are very anxious.Kake is in really bad shape and we really need your help.The biggest thing is to emphasize the need to work together.This would take the community completely off diesel, which is exactly where we want to go.We are working with the leading entities in the community very closely and everybody supports this project. In response to a question from Commissioner Galvin,Ms.Mitchell said that AEA has been great and there is no problem,she just wants to be sure both agencies are working hand in hand. Commissioner von Scheben said that the timing is essential.He met with Steve Haagenson, Joel St.Aubin,Frank Richards,and Michael!Black to talk about the cluster concept of connecting villages by roads and sharing services (one school,one power plant/transmission line,one medical clinic,one airport)so economy of scale kicks in.An analysis showed a factor of almost two-to-one in savings using economy of scale.Villages will need to start sharing assets.He will check on the status of the road and report back to the group. AEA Board Meeting June 25,2009 Meeting Minutes Page 5 Ms.Mitchell said this would extend the SEPA network (Southeast Alaska Power Agency)and asked for AEA and DOT support in "pushing”SEPA to build and own the intertie,which is the cheapest way to do it for Kake.If Kake built and owned the intertie,it limits the economics for the project.SEPA is the former Four Dam Pool entity. Katherine Eldemar,Assistant to the President and CEO,Sealaska Corporation.Sealaska Corporation has a shareholder base of a little over twenty thousand and we are here today to express our general appreciation on the development of alternatives to diesel for the Kake area. Kake,along with other areas throughout Southeast do have some economic challenges and one of the key components,one of the constraints we've found as a for-profit enterprise is we are having difficulty with managing that component.Everything else being equal if you try and do business in Kake,or any of the other rural communities,the electrical bills will kill the endeavor.So,inasmuch as we are here,|won't repeat what the other experts have said,but we are in favor and in support of Kake having as expeditiously a road,as well as cheap power to its community. Robert Venables,Energy Coordinator,Southeast Conference.Even though the challenges are severe and real,good progress has been made this past year and phenomenal progress has been made.Thank you very much to the Alaska Energy Authority because your support in Southeast Alaska has allowed us to do more work this past year than in previous years.Steve and many staffers have played a part in that,but none more than Jim Strandberg and we want to acknowledge his work down there as well.You can imagine when you go to a public meeting and you say "I'm here from the government to help,”what kind of a response you get.Well it's only exceeded by when you go to a public meeting and say "I'm here and I'm bringing two government agencies to help you.”It's really been inspiring to see the inter-agency cooperation because Southeast region has done a great job in helping us move this project here in Kake. We just had public meetings in Angoon and Hoonah.We have a lot of initiatives which are leading to a further need for the integrated resource plan that Mr.Haagenson addressed.We are on the verge of having an integrated system from Metlakatla through Kake with the SEPA network.The little hiccup with the DOT has to do with a shortfall in funding that they need for this summer work season.They need some general funds.Mr.Hughes has a request in for the Roads to Resources fund that hasn't filtered up to the Commissioner's office.|apologize, Commissioner,if you felt a little sand-bagged with us throwing that out there.The governor put out a $10 million dollar legislative authorization that went through for federal funds that will eventually flow to the project,but they need some general funds to get some field work done this year.There is a 300 foot corridor to the north that has been identified for road right-of-way that we want to do the intertie on and that is something that the Forest service is going to want us to keep to one corridor,not two.The community is behind that 100%.We have funds through HB 152 now to do the electrical portion.If the application for the Roads to Resources money can flow to the project then DOT can stay in step.It's disheartening to tell the people at Kake, that although we do mean fast track,it's still three to five years away.We're very anxious to get as much work done as we can during this summer season so we don't fall another year behind. |want to say thank you.The people of Kake,as desperate as they are,they've done a good bit of work developing a comprehensive economic development strategy to revitalize their community should the pieces of energy and transportation fall into place.Southeast Conference,as the State's ARDOR Regional Development Organization,go in there and help AEA Board Meeting June 25,2009 Meeting Minutes Page 6 the communities,so we are embracing them on a number of levels and energy is the key.Thank you for your support. 10.BOARD COMMENTS Mr.Winther complimented the group on their presentation. 11.ADJOURNMENT There being no objection and no further business of the Board,the meeting was adjourned at 11:21 a.m. LZ Steve Haagenson,Executive Director/Secretary Alaska Energy Authority Alaska Energy Authority BOARD MEETING MINUTES February 26,2009 Anchorage,Alaska 1.CALL TO ORDER Chairman Pat Galvin called the meeting of the Alaska Energy Authority to order on February 26, 2009 at 10:42 a.m. 2.BOARD OF DIRECTORS ROLL CALL A quorum was established. Members present in Anchorage:Chairman Pat Galvin (Commissioner,Department of Revenue); Vice Chair John Winther (Public Member);Commissioner Emil Notti (Department of Commerce, Community &Economic Development);and Commissioner Leo von Scheben (Department of Transportation &Public Facilities).Absent:John Kelsey (Public Member).

AEA Board Meeting February 26,2009 Meeting Minutes Page 2 7.OLD BUSINESS There was no old business. 8.NEW BUSINESS 8A.Resolution No.2009-02 TDX North Slope Generating,Inc.,Power Project Fund Loan Mr.Haagenson said TDX North Slope Generating Inc.is requesting a Power Project Fund (PPF)20-year loan in the amount of $2,500,000 for the acquisition and installation of a 5 MW Solar Combustion Turbine and associated distribution cables. Credit committee recommended approval of this loan. Mr.Mitchell outlined the changes made in the replacement resolution stating Section 1 Is a technical change which states that the Authority finds the standards in 3 AAC 106.110 for this loan as described in the Memorandum were met. Ms.Anderson provided an overview of the transaction.It is for the acquisition and installation of a 5MW Solar Combustion Turbine in the company's Deadhorse north power plant,to include distribution cable.The loan will be secured by a purchase money security interest in the SMW Solar Combustion Turbine being acquired with the loan proceeds. Funding of this loan will increase total outstanding debt to the Authority owed by TDX (including | undisbursed related debt)from $4,251,484 to $6,751,484. TDX North Slope Generating,Inc.was formed in January 2002 as an Alaska electric utility serving Deadhorse and Prudhoe Bay.Management of TDX is quite strong and is described in the Memorandum and organization chart in the board packet.TDX Power,Inc.is a wholly owned subsidiary of Tanadgusix Corporation (TDX,Inc.)a village corporation. Approval of this credit will increase TDX (companies)liability to AEA from 15.51%to 25.21%of AEA's total PPF loan portfolio (outstanding plus unfunded commitments)and from 10.63%to 17.28%of AEA's total PPF (total fund dollars). Staff recommended approval with the condition that the borrower pays no management fees, cash,dividends or profits,or makes distribution of assets to TDX Power,Inc.,or Tanadgusix Corporation,unless EBITDA (earnings before interest,taxes,depreciation,and amortization) services the debt at a minimum of 1.10:1.All of these companies are quite healthy financially and this debt is affordable to them. A discussion ensued comparing use of a diesel turbine versus a gas turbine and how cost savings were determined in the Northern Economics Report.Mr.Levy discussed load growth averaging 30%a year over the past few years and said they are out of spinning reserve and out of capacity to handle a catastrophic loss of any of their 7 or 8 turbines.New service connections during the coming construction season will add 4MW to the current system.Rapid growth is making it difficult to keep up with not only the peak demand,but the average demand. AEA Board Meeting February 26,2009 Meeting Minutes Page 3 A variety of components from regulatory to technology to load growth are currently being addressed.The load is directly related to temperature and weather as it affects the housing. The 400-room Aurora Hotel under construction in Deadhorse is already 66%booked by BP. Electrical use by the Baker-Hughes warehouse is predicted to peak at 2.2MW.The two drivers are the price of oil and an increased focus on maintenance. Under normal operations the utility has 12MW of power,9MW of peak and 7MW of average. Loss of a turbine or the 3MW gas-fired Caterpillar reciprocating engine would blackout the town. They are addressing not only the load growth but the constant possibility of catastrophic failure in one of the major units.The turbine,subject to approval of the loan,is ready to be shipped and is scheduled for start up in late August 2009. MOTION:Mr.Winther moved to approve Resolution 2009-02.Seconded by Commissioner Notti.There being no discussion,the question was called.A roll call vote was taken and the motion passed 4-0, AYES:Notti,von Scheben,Winther,Galvin NAYS:None ABSENT:One 9.EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR COMMENTS Renewable Energy Fund The Legislative Budget and Audit committee met last Tuesday and approved 77 Renewable Energy Projects totaling $100 million for FYO9.The Board was referred to their packets for the evaluation method and a complete list of projects. Mr.Haagenson said he is on the record with a zero acceptable failure rate for projects.Staff is currently conducting a review of projects,identifying scopes of work,kill points and grant agreement conditions...The review for submittal of the Round II list is behind schedule,but staffwillprovidealisttotheLegislatureassoonaspossible Round Il funding has not been appropriated and requires appropriation by the full Legislature. In response to questions from the Board,Mr.Haagenson explained the funding caps.During the review,the most weight was given to high-cost-of-energy areas,then to match,and then regional spreading.There is a $2 million dollar cap for areas in Southeast affecting 6 or 7 projects.There is a $4 million dollar cap for rural projects,anything outside the Railbelt or Southeast. AEA has already gone back to the applicants and asked "If you only get half of the money,what is your plan?They can either say "We are not going to go forward because we can't find the money.”"We can find more money.”or "We can reduce our scope.”They have three options ahead of them.They can accept it or not.Some of them were reduced because the projects were not ready.If they asked for money for feasibility,design and construction,we said you need to build a foundation so we are not going to give you all the money for the whole thing AEA Board Meeting February 26,2009 Meeting Minutes Page 4 we're only going to give you money for feasibility.At that point we reduced the scope and the funding. Alaska Energy:A first step toward energy independence The Alaska Energy Plan has been out for approximately one week.Staff is currently working with native corporations and utilities to apply the document and database.They are also working on regional rolls based on the data,and will be going out into the regions to engage Alaskans in the solution and obtain their recommendations. Railbelt Electric Grid Authority AEA has been investigating opportunities to consolidate the Railbelt Electric utilities for the past two years. The infrastructure is aging and will require significant money to build new generation.Together the utilities can finance projects which they could not do separately. AEA will be contracting for a Railbelt Integrated Resource Plan this week to evaluate and size the energy and delivery options for the Railbelt.The contracted consultant will look at Susitna, Chakachamna,Fire Island,FT plants,Chuitna coal,Nenana gas,new Cook Inlet gas,Bullet lines and trucking LNG from the North Slope. Legislation will soon be introduced to form an entity that provides a vehicle to consolidate the Railbelt electric generation and transmission operations and assets. Emergency Response Mr.Harper provided an update on situations in Kipnuk,Chignik,and Pilot Point.AEA provides emergency services for small villages with single site utilities that typically are underfunded, understaffed,and dealing with old equipment. In Kipnuk,a community of 700 near Bethel,one of the generators threw a rod through the block and is down,They need to run two parallel to provide adequate power for the community.AEA rural electrical utility workers are going to transport a generator from the Anchorage warehouse to Kipnuk in two trips,reassembled it and have it running by this weekend.Hopefully this will provide adequate service to carry the load through the rest of the winter. In Chignik,a community of 95 in the Bristol Bay Region,one of the two power plants burned down two nights ago.AEA staff at working with them to get the power back up on the East Bay. Supplies are going out today and hope to have short-term power back up by tonight.Staff plans to transport more equipment and work on a long-term solution. This morning AEA staff received a message that Pilot Point,also in the Bristol Bay area,had no power and no immediate solution to fix the problem.They anticipated running out of battery power,but staff received a phone call just before the meeting that the problem was fixed temporarily.AEA will work with the community on a long-term solution. -AEA Board Meeting February 26,2009 Meeting Minutes Page 5 The good news is AEA staff has the situations under control and will get power back to these rural communities shortly.

Biomass Energy Program develops projects using wood,sawmill residue,and municipal wastes for energy;tests air emissions and performance of fish oil and diesel blends as fuel;and assesses the viability of recovering fish oil from fish processing wastes. Diesel Generation Efficiency Program provides assistance in developing projects that use high efficiency generators and recover "waste heat”from diesel generators. End Use Efficiency (Conservation)Program has completed 40%of a project upgrading lighting and heating efficiency in over 150 schools and other facilities in 50 villages,is conducting energy audits,and working with Alaska Housing Finance Corporation to develop statewide efficiency policy recommendations and demonstrate impact of aggressive,village- wide measures in Nightmute. Geothermal Program supports projects such as the Chena Hot Springs power plant,organizes workshops and training sessions,and coordinates state assistance in developing other potential projects such as Mt.Spurr on the Railbelt and Makushin in Unalaska via a statewide development plan. Hydroelectric Program provides technical assistance through staff and contractors for hydro feasibility assessment and manages public funding for project construction. Ocean and River Energy Program evaluates technology and feasibility of converting wave motion and tidal and river flow into power in partnership with Alaskan utilities and Electric Power Research Institute. Wind Program assists utilities and communities in resource evaluation,training,environmental assessment,regional development,conceptual design and economic feasibility of rural wind-diesel systems,and Railbelt wind integration studies. Funding AEA's alternative energy program has received funding since the early 1980s from the US Department of Energy (USDOE) and more recently from the Denali Commission and the EPA.Under the Renewable Energy Fund,AEA is providing $125 million in grants for 107 projects.In June 08 AEA and the Denali Commission offered $7.5 million in grants for 37 projects.The Energy Cost Reduction RFP,an earlier program,has provided $8.4 million in grant funds to match $12.4 million in local funds for projects that are displacing or will displace 1.4 million gallons per year of diesel and equivalent natural gas.For more detail,see the AEA's Biennial AEEE Assistance Plan on the AEA website. 'Reviewed 6/2009 ALASKA ENERGY AUTHORITY Bulk Fuel Program Current Status In 2008,bulk fuel upgrades were completed in the communities of Tyonek,Ruby,and Pilot Point.The pipeline project in Newtok was started and will be completed in 2009.Nine communities are in the design process,and six bulk fue!projects are planned for construction in 2009. Program Description The goal of Alaska Energy Authority's (AEA)Bulk Fuel program is to upgrade non-compliant bulk fuel facilities in communities that meet program criteria.Upgrading bulk fuel facilities reduces the cost of energy by reducing or eliminating fuel loss from leaks and spills.In addition,by providing enough capacity for current and planned needs,communities may purchase fuel in !arger quantities at a lower cost per gallon. Alaskan remote communities rely on diesel fuel storage for heating and power generation.Many of the bulk fue!storage facilities were constructed in the 1970's or earlier.Some of these facilities are at the end of their design life and do not comply with state and federal codes and regulations.Some have tanks,pipes and other equipment that leak fuel.Regulatory agencies may prohibit fuel deliveries to these facilities.Communities often do not have funds for replacing these storage facilities. Since 2000,the Denali Commission has provided funding to replace community bulk fuel facilities.Due diligence is carried out to ensure that project participants meet Denali Commission and AEA sustainability standards.Participants sign a Business Operating Plan.The Business Operating Plan lays out the existing fuel facility organizational structure,the qualifications of responsible people,AEA required training,estimated operation and maintenance costs,and the establishment of a repair and replacement fund,so that when equipment fails the community will have the resources and savings to repair or replace it. Program Progress The bulk fuel program receives most of its funding through the Denali Commission.A total of 21 tank farm projects were completed in years previous to 2000.In 2000,funding increased substantially when the Denali Commission started to fund bulk fuel projects.As of December 2008,an additional 65 communities have been completed for a total of 86.Approximately 32 communities have not received upgrades.Depending on funding,three to six communities are receiving upgrades per year. Revised 6/2009 ALASKA ENERGY AUTHORITY Circuit Rider Program Current Status FYO9 Circuit Rider Program Participation forms where faxed to 74 rural electric utilities October 31, 2008.35 utilities responded.The returned applications are currently being evaluated. Program Description The Circuit Rider Program provides technical assistance to help rural utilities with the operation and maintenance of their electrical generation and distribution system.The Circuit Rider Program is administered by the Alaska Energy Authority (AEA)and is available to all eligible electric utilities.Electric utilities participating in this program will receive support services from AEA depending on the availability of funding._The purpose of the circuit rider maintenance program under 3 AAC 108.200 -3 AAC 108.220 is to assist eligible utilities to improve the efficiency,safety,and reliability of power systems and reduce the risk and severity of emergency conditions or emergency disruptions in the operation of community power systems,by providing training,consultation,on-site assistance with maintenance and minor repairs,and other related technical assistance. e The CRM program runs on a fiscal year from July 1 to June 30. e Allapplications will be evaluated and placed on priority list. AEA will make one or more visits to eligible electric utilities over the course of the fiscal year to provide training and provide recommendations concerning operations and routine maintenance activities.There will be no charge to the utility for these services. e Participating utilities are responsible for the purchase of all supplies,parts and equipment used for routine maintenance and minor repairs that are made during Circuit Rider visits.These items must be available at the utility's workplace prior to the arrival of AEA staff. e The Circuit Rider program does not provide funding for major repairs or reconstruction of electrical systems. e The participating utility's power plant operator and/or other utility staff must be available for training and consultation during the time of the Circuit Rider staff visit.Power plant operators will be required to maintain written performance logs in between Circuit Rider visits. e Utilities participating in the Circuit Rider program will be required to sign a letter acknowledging their understanding of the terms and conditions of the services provided by the program,prior to the first visit. e At this time AEA is soliciting for experienced maintenance personnel for the Circuit Rider Program. Program Progress Services under the Circuit Rider program are limited to village electric utilities with a demonstrated need for assistance with preventative operations and maintenance activities,utility training and emergency prevention.The program is not intended to serve electric utilities that have sufficient financial and technical resources to perform routine operations and maintenance activities. Reviewed 6/2009 ALASKA ENERGY AUTHORITY Emergency Response Program Current Status Currently in 2009,several communities where assisted.Major responses included Stevens Village during the Spring break-up and Kipnuk with unexpected major equipment failures. Program Description The Emergency Response program provides on-call,as-needed emergency action response to mitigate extended power outages and electrical hazards that present eminent threat to life or property. This program is designed to respond to an emergency or potential emergency situation before disaster or major loss occurs.It provides funding for continuance of government activities.It allows for procurement of manpower,materials and equipment for emergency response to electrical generation and distribution system emergencies and disasters in Alaska. Program Progress Emergency response is provided on an as-needed basis only.Well-managed utilities with adequate technical and financial resources are not candidates for these services.Besides helping rural communities,AEA works with State and Federal agencies on an as-needed case by case basis to resolve electrical generation and distribution system emergencies throughout Alaska. Revised 6/2009 ALASKA ENERGY AUTHORITY Loan Programs Power Project Fund (PPF) Number of loans:47 Outstanding portfolio balance:$26,565,040 Committed &un-disbursed funds:S 5,195,639 Uncommitted funds:S 4,920,775 As of 5/31/09,there was 1 loan past due 90 days or more in the amount of $215,000;which was .81%of the outstanding portfolio balance. Program Background:The PPF program provides loans to local utilities,local governments or independent power producers for the development or upgrade of electric power facilities, including conservation,bulk fuel storage,and waste energy conservation.The loan term is related to the productive life of the project,but cannot exceed 50 years.Interest rates vary between tax-exempt rates at the high end and zero on the low end.This rate is equal to the percentage that is the average weekly yield of municipal bonds for the 12 months preceding the date of the loan commitment. Bulk Fuel Revolving Loan Fund (BFRLF) Number of loans:38 Outstanding portfolio balance:S 1,656,586 Committed &un-disbursed funds:S$3,139,165 Uncommitted funds:$10,429,991 As of 5/31/09,there was 1 loan past due 90 days or more in the amount of $175,000;which was 10.56%of the outstanding portfolio balance. Program Background:The purpose of the BFRLF program is to assist communities,utilities or fuel retailers in small rural communities in purchasing emergency,semi-annual or annual bulk fuel supplies.Loans are for the purchase of new fuel.Loans are not provided for fuel already purchased,in the process of being used or already consumed.The Alaska State Legislature appropriated an additional $5.5 million to this revolving loan fund in August 2008. Revised 6/2009 ALASKA ENERGY AUTHORITY Power Cost Equalization Program Current Status The original FYO8 PCE appropriation was $26,760,000.00which was further capitalized by a $1.2 million dollar supplemental appropriation,increasing the total funding to $27,960,000.00.FY08 budget funding levels remained at the 100%level for the entire fiscal year.This caused the program to go over budget by what is currently $486,484.21.The legislature approved a $600,000 supplemental appropriation for PCE's FY08 expenditures. Effective October 1,2008,the power cost for which PCE is paid (the "ceiling”)will be raised from $.525 to $1.00 for the remainder of the FY 2009.The PCE Program has been provided an open ended General Fund Appropriation estimated to be $23 million. Program Description The goal of Alaska Energy Authority's (AEA)Power Cost Equalization program is to provide economic assistance to customers in rural areas of Alaska where the kilowatt-hour charge for electricity can be three to five times higher than the charge in more urban areas of the state.PCE only pays a portion of approximately 30%of all kWh's sold by the participating utilities. PCE fundamentally improves Alaska's standard of living by helping small rural areas maintain the availability of communications and the operation of basic infrastructure and systems,including water and sewer,incinerators,heat and light.PCE is a core element underlying the financial viability of centralized power generation in rural communities. The Legislature established different functions for AEA and the Regulatory Commission of Alaska (RCA) under Alaska Statutes 42.45.100-170,which govern PCE program responsibilities. AEA determines eligibility of community facilities and residential customers and authorizes payment to the electric utility.Commercial customers are not eligible to receive PCE credit.Participating utilities are required to reduce each eligible customer's bill by the amount that the State pays for PCE. RCA determines if a utility is eligible to participate in the program and calculates the amount of PCE per kWh payable to the utility.More information about the RCA may be found at www.state.ak.us/rca PCE Endowment Fund The PCE Endowment Fund was created and capitalized in FY 2001 with Funds from the Constitutional Budget Reserve and the Four Dam Pool Project sale proceeds.The PCE Endowment Fund is an Alaska Energy Authority Fund managed by the Department of Revenue;it is invested to earn at least 7%over time.$182.7 million was appropriated to the fund in FY 2007.The deposit occurred in October 2006. AS 42.45.085 provides that 7%of the PCE Endowment Fund's 3 year monthly average market value may be appropriated to the PCE Rural Electric Capitalization Fund for annual PCE program costs.After the FY 2007 capitalization,7%of the market value equals the estimated full funding amount for the program. Revised 06/2009 PCE Utility Clerk Training -Regional In the fall of 2008 the Alaska Energy Authority was approached by the Tanana Chiefs Conference and was asked to conduct a PCE Utility Clerk Training Workshop;a workshop that the AEA host annually in the spring.The AEA accepted the invitation and conducted a very successful three (3)day utility clerk training session at the Alpine Lodge in Fairbanks,Alaska.The AEA assisted in planning the workshop but all expenses were met by the Tanana Chiefs Conference. Attendees included representatives from the electric utilities in Arctic Village,Chalkyitsik,City of Ruby and Venetie as well as staff with the Tanana Chiefs Council.Instructors for the training session included AEA staff and Terri Harper of Terri's Organization Planning Services (T.O.P.S.). Following this training session,the AEA was approached by the North Slope Borough with a similar request.In an effort to become compliant with the PCE Program's requirements,as well as those of the Regulatory Commission of Alaska,the North Slope Borough sought to enlist the AEA's assistance in training its personnel.With all expenses being paid by the North Slope Borough,AEA staff traveled to Barrow,Alaska and carried out another three (3)day utility clerk training session.Attendees included eight (8)NSB employees along with Mr.Winchell Tickner of Nikolai Light and Power for a total of nine (9)students.Mr.Tickner was not able to attend the regularly scheduled spring PCE Utility Clerk Training held in April 7-9,2009 in Anchorage but graciously made himself available to travel to Barrow to attend. The attendees acquired and demonstrated a very good understanding of the program and expressed great appreciation for the efforts made by the AEA.Our thanks go out to the North Slope Borough also for their generosity in affording this opportunity to the Nikolai Light and Power Company. Revised 06/2009 ALASKA ENERGY AUTHORITY Rural Power Systems Upgrade Program Current Status Between the calendar years 2000 through 2008,38 communities have benefited from powerhouse and distribution upgrades.11 additional communities are currently undergoing or are scheduled for construction upgrades in 2009,12 additional communities are in conceptual design or final design stage. Program Description The Rural Power System Upgrade (RPSU)program concentrates on powerhouse and electrical distribution upgrades.Typical project include powerhouse upgrades or replacements,distribution line assessments and upgrades,line extensions to new customers,demand-side improvements and repairs to generation and distribution systems.Energy efficiency,reliability,safety and sustainability are primary drivers during the conceptual design,final design and construction process.Identification of available alternative and renewable energy and interoperability with any existing alternative and renewable energy sources is high priority with the rising cost of fuel and carbon emissions concerns. Examples of programmatic efforts include: e Rebuilding or replacement of worn-out,inefficient diesel generator units. °Rebuilding or replacement of old,hazardous and non-code compliant distribution systems. °Construction of new power generation systems that meet State and Federal codes.Commuter StateofAlaska °Inclusion of waste heat recovery systems in new powerhouses. e Force account labor and technical assistance to rural communities through AEA personne!and/or contractors with experience in rural construction. System upgrades to be funded may be identified through a variety of ways,including via technical assistance,advanced by the local community or directed by the Legislature.The Majority of funds are via the Denali Commission.Other sources include Community Block Grant (ICDBG)and Rural Utility Service (RUS). : lDevelopmentBlockGrant(CDBG),Indian Community Development a °, Annual Fuel Savings from New Powerhouses Reviewed 6/2009 Wah Adonai Ungredes aq toutAddon Upgrades Bibiatore-...RPSU Funding 1999 -2007 Program Progress Electricity provides for lighting,communications, heat and power necessary to operate infrastructure that supports all other elements needed in any community to permit safe and healthy living conditions.In rural communities throughout Alaska, electricity is generated by a small!local "system” (generation and distribution)using diesel fuel at a cost that is three to five times higher than that in urban parts of the state.Of the 200 rural communities,approximately half are served by cooperatives or another form of utility that performs under a well-established organization.Others are served by very small entities,many which experience technical and administrative problems due to lack of economies of scale and/or lack of specialized skills in the community. Reviewed 6/2009 ALASKA ENERGY AUTHORITY Training Program Current Status The Alaska Energy Authority (AEA),along with the Denali Commission Training Fund,provides training opportunities to local residents for their energy projects and infrastructure.In FYO7,the AEA Training Program provided training to 131 rural Alaskans.For FYO8,the program was funded at $416,435 and at least 118 rural Alaskans are expected to be trained. Program Description The intent of this training is to ensure that community personnel have the best skills with which to sustain their energy infrastructure in a business-like manner.With proper training,utilities can keep their facilities code-compliant and sustainable.

The initial guide for Alaskan Communities to Utilize Local Energy Resources was developed in January 2009 and is available at http://www.akenergyauthority.org/alaska_energy.html.The guide contains two main sections;first section contains a 245 page narrative that provides a statewide background on energy in Alaska,current policy and planning efforts and issues,and discussion of the various technology options that may be available across the State;and the second document is a 888 page technology screening tool that was developed to allow each community to review locally available resources and determine the most cost efficient energy options based on the delivered cost of energy to residents. Energy use in each community is composed of three major components:electricity,space heating,and transportation.The relative level of use and cost for each of these components differs across Alaska.For instance,Anchorage residents pay comparatively less for electricity and space heating,but more for transportation due to heavy dependence on vehicle travel. Rural Alaskans see lower vehicle travel,but have much higher costs for heating oil and electricity.The model that was developed to produce this report included data from multiple, sources and high level assumptions regarding costs for developing energy technologies. A resource map was constructed that indicated the available resources for each community.As would be expected,every resource is not available in each community.What was a surprise is with all the resources in Alaska,there were regions that had only one local resource for fuel. Western Alaskan communities may only have wind or the Upper Yukon would have wood.Costs for wind energy are included in the report,but in the electric wind-diesel systems wind energy is limited to 20 -30%due to control complexity and system operations.The electric system must remain stable when the wind is blowing or not blowing and all points in between.The other .- observation was that even with a 30%wind penetration,the remaining 70%of the electrical energy would come from diesel.Diesel can be extremely expensive in rural Alaska,so is there a solution that uses 100%wind for both electric and heat. Artificial Geothermal Wind can provide electricity and heat,but there is a need for assistance when the wind stops.Is there a way to store energy when the wind is blowing so that it can be used at a time when the wind is not?Water has been used as for energy storage and transfer for years in geothermal applications.There may be many storage mediums but for this discussion we will use water. A large wind farm could provide electrical energy directly to the distribution system with the extra energy going to the resistive heaters in a water tank.To maintain electrical frequency the wind generation will have to match the electrical load.This can be achieved through variable or switched resistors that maintain frequency and ensure all the excess electrical wind energy will be input and stored in the water tank. When the wind stops,the hot water would provide heat and could be used to make electricity through a binary phase turbine,similar to the Chena Chiller Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) generator used at Chena Hot Springs.Stored energy could be augmented through other renewable resources such as solar,hydrokinetic or tidal,or other fuel resources such as diesel or wood.If excess energy is available in the summer time when heat loads are lower,an absorption chiller could be installed to make ice for commercial use. Storage Storage allows the use of a resource when the need exists but the resource may not be available.Losses need to be quantified for each storage type to allow for the development of the total system efficiency. Tidal power may require storage for a day,where wind may require storage for a week,and solar energy may require storage for a year.Sizing of the storage medium is critical to ensure adequate energy is stored and can be released when required.Energy loss,conversion efficiencies,expected discharge durations can all affect the sizing of the storage device. Alaska Center for Energy and Power (ACEP)is currently investigating energy storage technologies.These different technologies may lend themselves to more improved technologies better than others based on the expected storage times.Tidal power is very predictable in the one day storage duration and would allow for smaller storage capacity.Wind would require larger storage capacity that would be based on the mean time between wind blows.Solar and hydrokinetic would require seasonal storage that may be required for up to one year.The season storage would have the largest capacity and would need to store the energy with minimal loss for these periods. Cold Climate Housing Research Center (CCHRC)is looking at a large insulated thermal mass that would be heated in the summer time with abundant solar energy,and used as a thermal source for a heat pump to heat buildings in the winter.There may be opportunities to use the heat pump to store the heat in the thermal mass in the summer time and extract it when needed in the winter months. Energy Conversion Although the selection of a specific technology is critical for extracting stored energy and converting it to usable energy,but reliability is also a critical factor.It is critical so the operations and maintenance should be kept to a minimum along with the required skill level to Operate the overall system.The designer will be working with the Estimator to ensure adequate details exist to develop a Capital Cost for the project. Equally important to conversion is the transition from one medium to another without disrupting the energy supply.Maintaining a steady-state 60Hz frequency with low harmonics on the electrical system is required for the delivery of commercial quality power.Each mode of operations including transitions between modes must be designed to provide an automatic seamless transfer.Although the wind mode and the ORC mode may function individually,the transition may need a device,such as a battery backup to transition the electric supply from the wind mode to the ORC mode and back. Distributed systems will be considered to provide redundancy and reduce the cost of delivery. Alternative delivery system will be investigated to reduce the capital cost of the system.For example,it may be less expensive to use existing electrical distribution lines rather than installing a new district hot water heating system. Low efficiency modes,such as the ORC,may be appropriate,so to keep the efficiency as high as possible the use of low-grade rejected heat should be considered. Community Sizing Model A generic model,created in Microsoft Access,will be needed to integrate the mechanical options into the community.Basic model variables will include:type and availability of local energy resources,end-use electrical energy by community,and end-use heating energy by community.The model will identify the necessary capacity to the energy supply,storage and conversion systems that are either central or distributed to deliver the community end-use energy.The model will also output the operations and maintenance costs for integrated systems to support a life-cycle cost analysis. Capital Cost Model A database will be developed to combine the community needs information with the Community Sizing model to yield: e Capital cost estimates by community,region and state e Cost of Energy by community,region and state e Per Capita cost by community,region and state * "gs ia S Me sg Pn cp.sagt aa ek,EOE ae PE oe ' i pon”nad ete Leen.*wt sa i Wh Vane.Wk 5Fc nae oe. ge ead Naa img hs ib June 2009 Ree cette ing hn Aha tt *:yettenPrtear-5 5 he angenOTE°>a polices LAE eae Ti Re Me ante eRe eS Alaska's Energy Flow 2006 -Trillion Btu Trareportalion 263 Commercial Crete Od Unies LH Prtngkam Espront Eepan E apart Evpart fandartta6AaBi7A tre Palrddiurn aoe I brovesna weunedE}(Lorerinean loea:BA q Fee rqec eon Tes2772Provesssn [caneenaan lows'S|Naural Gas32-6 (tar Sika usw 20)t A Coal faz. zg 1 :ElsctictyHyioa[rormrmain 4 biax 41] ol Esomase.,anRenrwosble Eechnity Crida Cut impart =0 Pit euinProduct Import 3] Retirderiul a5 ante dadogitmeAg PEAKE ol Ke ab Ree6 RE cal mela fare TlOlt STOREthe st ae matbetlesBa AS ebneti re : - : eae T oe areneSaneTARSbeAraNebelRQtSaOSyABBEdseemy,Paysetreee bs ie I at: .'

PROJECT COST:Initial capitals costs of $124 million.Warranty and repair and replacement fund is paid into by utilities to cover costs. DESCRIPTION:The Alaska Intertie transmission line is a 170-mile long,345kV transmission line between Willow and Healy that is owned by AEA.It is presently operated at 138 KV. PURPOSE:The purpose of the Alaska Intertie is to interconnect Golden Valley Electric Association, the regulated utility that serves areas north of the Alaska Range with south central Alaska Utilities. The intertie also allows resources north and south of the range to be shared to improve reliability. Notably,the GVEA storage battery,as well as GVEA generation resources,can and have been used to send emergency power southward to minimize catastrophic network wide outages.The operation of this intertie materially improves overall system reliability. SOURCE OF FUNDS:The Intertie was built in the mid-1980s with State of Alaska appropriations totaling $124 million.Currently,there is no debt associated with this asset. PARTICIPANTS:The operation of the Intertie is governed by the Alaska Intertie Agreement entered into in 1985 and amended in 1991.The parties to this agreement are AEA (formerly Alaska Power Authority),Anchorage Municipal Light &Power,Chugach Electric Association Inc.,Alaska Municipal Utilities System,Golden Valley Electric Association,Inc.,and the Alaska Electric Generation and Transmission Cooperative (AEG&T is comprised of Matanuska Electric Association and Homer Electric Association). BENEFITS:In 1981,a study demonstrated a positive feasibility of the line and recommended construction of an intertie to allow exchange of economy energy and the sharing of reserve generation capacity between the Anchorage and Fairbanks load centers.It was estimated that the benefits from the project would be approximately $17 million per year. 813 West Northern Lights Boulevard e Anchorage,Alaska 99503-2495 www.aidea.org @ 907/771-3000 #FAX 907/771-3044 e Toll Free (Alaska Only)888/300-8534 ®www.akenergyauthority.org Alaska Intertie Page 2 of 2 Project Fact Sheet ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND:Agreements have been developed over a span of 30 years to govern the cooperative management,operation of the connected network at large.AEA has agreements with participating utilities that assure the Alaska Intertie operates with prudent maintenance and operation by utilities.ML&P is the intertie operator,while MEA and GVEA provide maintenance and operations services. AEA serves as financial administrator,providing basic accounting services to establish a cost-based wheeling rate that is trued up each year.AEA collects payments from Intertie users and pays expenses,including reimbursement of costs incurred by the two operators of the line,ML&P and GVEA,and the three maintenance contractors,MEA,CEA,and GVEA.

Snow pack for Bradley watershed was only 43%of average this year.Snow pack provides annual about one third of the project water.Project power is likely to be reduced this next year. Many small projects continue this summer. PROJECT COST:$317 million (original cost plus major capital improvements through June 30, 2007) DESCRIPTION:The project has 126 MW of installed capacity hydroelectric project located 27 air miles southeast of Homer on the Kenai Peninsula.The project consists of Bradley Lake,a 125 foot high concrete faced,rock filled dam structure,three diversion structures,a 19,063 ft. long power tunnel and vertical shaft,generating plant,interior substation,20 miles of transmission line,and substation.Due to its remote location,the project has its own airstrip, boat dock,residential quarters,and utility system.The project is normally automatically operated by remote dispatch by Chugach Electric Association from Anchorage. PURPOSE:The Bradley project provides 5-10%of the annual railbelt electric power needs at the lowest generation cost.Bradley is most important to the railbelt electric system during the cold winter months.Demand for both electric power and gas for heat is at its highest.Utilities limited by available gas are able to use Bradley power to meet the high electric demand. SOURCE OF FUNDS:Legislative appropriations and AEA revenue bonds repaid by participating utilities. PARTICIPANTS:Under the Power Sales Agreement,100%of the project's capacity has been sold to the power purchasers:Chugach Electric Association,Inc.(30.4%);Municipality of Anchorage (25.9%);Alaska Electric Generation &Transmission Cooperative,Inc.(25.8%); acting on behalf of Homer Electric Association,Inc.(12.0%)and Matanuska Electric Association, Inc.(13.8%);Golden Valley Electric Association,Inc.(16.9%);and City of Seward (1.0%) BENEFITS:Authority ownership now assures the railbelt area of a long-term source of power at a stable cost and promotes economic development in the region. ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND:The power generation potential of Bradley Lake was first studied by the U.S.Corps of Engineers and presented in a report dated March 1955.The project was authorized by Congress in 1962,but,despite its feasibility,federal funds were not available for its construction.The Alaska Energy Authority (then Alaska Power Authority)assumed responsibility for the project in 1982.Preliminary plans and field investigations started in 1982. In April 1984,the Authority submitted an application for license to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC).The license to construct the project was issued on December 31,1985.In December 1987,the Authority and the railbelt utilities entered into a Power Sales Agreement to 813 West Northern Lights Boulevard e Anchorage,Alaska 99503-2495 www.aidea.org e 907/771-3000 e FAX 907/771-3044 e Toll Free (Alaska Only)888/300-8534 e www.akenergyauthority.org Bradley Hydroelectric Project Page 2 of 2 Project Fact Sheet delineate responsibilities.Project was declared in commercial operation September 1,1991. Bradley has been producing power for 16 years.In 2007,Bradley produced 392,000 MWh of power at a cost of approximately $.039 per kWh. A Bradley Project Management Committee (BPMC)was formed in 1993 with representatives from each of the power purchasers and Alaska Energy Authority.The BPMC is responsible for the management,operation,maintenance,and improvement of the project,subject to the non- delegable duties of the Alaska Energy Authority. "=YIDEX LENDSAlaskaindustrialDevelopmentandExportAuthority Revised June 2009 Project Fact Sheet:EKLUTNA TRANSMISSION LINE UPGRADE CURRENT STATUS:Project construction is complete.The line presently awaits connection into the Railbelt network.As the available funds through the AEA grant are nearly exhausted, the Eklutna Operating Committee (ML&P,Chugach and MEA)has elected to complete the project using funds they will secure.The Operating Committee has designated ML&P as the project manager for completing terminations,commissioning and energizing the line.ML&P is securing professional services to accomplish this commissioning process. PROJECT COST:$19.3 million DESCRIPTION:The project consists of rebuilding the existing 115kV wood-pole electric transmission line from the Eklutna Hydroelectric Plant to the point where the Beluga 230kV electric transmission line intersects the line (near Briggs Tap/Fossil Creek),spanning a distance of 22.5 miles. PURPOSE:To upgrade the existing single circuit line to a double circuit line providing an overall capacity and reliability to the intertie.To improve system reliability and resolve fault issues,the generating utilities approached the legislature for funding to construct a dedicated transmission link between the two generation centers and to provide a second line to serve the four existing MEA taps.The new transmission line will be constructed and insulated for 230KV, but will initially operated at 138KV. SOURCE OF FUNDS:Grant to the Municipality of Anchorage Municipal Light and Power through the Alaska Energy Authority for an Eklutna project transmission line upgrade.AEA is the grant administrator. PARTICIPANTS:Anchorage Municipal Light and Power,Chugach Electric Association,Inc., and Matanuska Electric Association. BENEFITS:This intertie project will resolve concerns over the 50-year age of a wood structured primary intertie link between the hydroelectric power plant at Eklutna,and the ML&P plant no.2,which is one of the main generation centers for South Central Alaska.Completion of the intertie will increase operating and dispatch flexibility for South Central Alaska,and increase reliability of power supply. ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND:Concerns for system reliability and safety led South Central Utilities to approach the legislature for a $19.3 Million appropriation to replace a 50-year-old key transmission link between two South Central Generation facilities.The Eklutna hydropower generation facility,recently repowered to produce 40MW of storage hydropower,was connected to the rest of the Railbelt system through the wood structured link. 813 West Northern Lights Boulevard e Anchorage,Alaska 99503-2495 www.aidea.org e 907/771-3000 e FAX 907/771-3044 e Toll Free (Alaska Only)888/300-8534 e www.akenergyauthority.org We"IDES.=>ALASKAEa)ENERGY AUTHORITY Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority Revised:June 12,2009 Project Fact Sheet:LARSEN BAY HYDROELECTRIC PROJECT CURRENT STATUS:Upgrades to the Larsen Bay Hydro Facility are in progress utilizing a Construction Management Contractor and AEA Rural Utility Workers..Project substantial completion is tentatively scheduled for July of 2009.Once the project is substantially complete the community and AEA will execute a Facility Conveyance Agreement to complete the turnover agreement to the community.The city utility supplies a portion of the cannery's energy needs to increase utility revenues and enable repayment of bond funds.The utility has agreed to allow the use PCE payments to aid in repayment of their PPF loan. PROJECT COST:$320,000 from CDBG grant DESCRIPTION:The Larsen Bay hydro facility has experienced numerous significant operating issues over the last several years which have resulted in delaying the ownership transfer from AEA to the community.The most significant issue is the reliability of the existing hydro switchgear and controls. Scheduled improvements include: e Replacement of the existing unreliable hydro switchgear and controls with new modern switchgear that includes data acquisition and remote monitoring capabilities.This task is still in progress with the new switch gear now in basic operation. e Repair ice damage to the water intake structure.This task was substantially completed in Jan 2009. e Supply a portion of the cannery domestic load to facilitate increased use of hydro power without negatively impacting the power to the community and increase revenue to the city.This task was substantially completed spring of 2007. PURPOSE:The project intent is to increase the reliability,and use of the hydro electric system in order to facilitate the turnover of ownership of the system to the City of Larsen Bay. SOURCE OF FUNDS:in 2004,the City of Larsen Bay applied for and received a CDBG Grant to upgrade the hydro facility.In 2005,AEA negotiated a Grant Agreement with the City of Larsen Bay and CDBG to manage the hydro upgrade project.Subsequently,the project was awarded $320,000 from CDBG. PARTICIPANTS:Alaska Energy Authority and the City of Larsen Bay BENEFITS:Once operating reliably and efficiently the hydro will displace the majority of the city's diesel fuel used for electrical generation.The utility can now provide a portion of the cannery's energy needs resulting in increased revenue to the utility.Sales to the cannery during the summer of 2007 allowed the City of Larsen Bay to pay its loan obligations for FY 2007 and 2008.The intent is to turn the hydro facility over to the City after the improvements have been completed and the facility has proven its reliability. ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND:This 475-kilowatt project went into commercial operation in mid-1991 with construction costs of approximately $1.6 million.In addition to producing electricity for this isolated Kodiak Island community,the project replaced the City of Larsen Bay's old water supply system and provides a safe source of water with reduced'maintenance and improved water quality.The originalintentofthehydroprojectwastoturnthefacilityovertotheCityofLarsenBayonceithadbeendemonstratedtobeoperationallyviableoverafewyears.The hydro operated only intermittently and unreliably for many years;therefore the community would not agree to accept the facility or make bondpaymentsuntiltheseproblemswereworkedout.In 2004,the City of Larsen Bay agreed to seek CDBG funding to make improvements to the hydro facility. 813 West Northern Lights Boulevard*Anchorage,Alaska 99503-2495www.aidea.org ¢907/269-3000 *FAX 907/269-3044 ®Toll Free (Alaska Only)888/300-8534 ¢www.akenergyauthority.org "<yIDEN /E ALASKA Alasha Industrial DevelopmentandExportAuthority Revised June 2009 Project Fact Sheet:RAILBELT ELECTRICAL GRID AUTHORITY STUDY CURRENT STATUS:This project is 98%complete,with the final report published,and accepted by the Alaska Energy Authority.The results of the study are being used to form a new non-profit statutory corporation to own and operate future Railbelt Generation and Transmission (G&T)infrastructure. PROJECT COST:$800,000 DESCRIPTION:Black and Veatch (B&V)was hired as consultant to AEA to perform the analysis of the potential of a Railbelt Electrical Grid Authority in increasing cost effectiveness and reliability in the operation of the Railbelt transmission grid.B&V will analyze operation costs,look at current and future generation sources,look at current and future electrical demands and develop a series of future scenarios with recommendations for a grid authority. This work will be done in conjunction with the Railbeit utilities,through extensive interviews with affected stakeholders and subject matter experts and with the guidance and feedback of an advisory work group. PURPOSE:This Railbelt Electrical Grid Authority (REGA)study will identify a range of grid authority business structures to own,operate,control,maintain and operate the future Railbelt Electrical generation and transmission Grid This business structure alternatives could range from a voluntary organization to dispatch power and manage the grid assets,or it could be more encompassing to include responsibility for planning and acquiring new generation and assuming ownership of existing Railbelt assets. SOURCE OF FUNDS:Legislative appropriation. PARTICIPANTS:Black and Veatch;Alaska Energy Authority;Homer Electric Association; Chugach Electric Association;Anchorage Municipal Light and Power;Matanuska Electric Association;Golden Valley Electric Association;and a variety of stakeholders as represented on the advisory group and through interviews.

PURPOSE:This project will allow power that is produced in the Four Dam Pool transmission network to be scheduled and economically dispatched.Initially,it is expected that excess water energy available at Lake Tyee generation capacity and energy will be used to offset an energy shortage in the Ketchikan area.In a longer range capacity,the intertie can be used to convey power for export through an export intertie that is being considered into British Columbia. SOURCE OF FUNDS:Grant to the Four Dam Pool Power Agency PARTICIPANTS:The Four Dam Pool Power Agency consisting of three purchasing utilities (municipal utilities of the Cities of Ketchikan,Wrangell and Petersburg)and two electric cooperatives (Copper Valley Electric Association and Kodiak Electric Association). BENEFITS:Generation,avoiding a looming shortage in Ketchikan that could have required Ketchikan Public Utilities to operate expensive and polluting diesel generation. ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND:This project was partially funded in 2005.The Four Dam Pool Power Agency cleared the Right-of-Way and purchased and installed tower foundations, construction was stopped when these funds were expended.The region was able to secure an appropriation of $46.2 million for completion of the project. 813 West Northern Lights Boulevard e Anchorage,Alaska 99503-2495 www.aidea.org @ 907/771-3000 «FAX 907/771-3044 e Toll Free (Alaska Only)888/300-8534 e www.akenergyauthority.org "IDEN LENS Alaska Industrial DevelopmentandExportAuthority Revised June 2009 Project Fact Sheet:_TEELAND DOUGLAS TRANSMISSION LINE PROJECT CURRENT STATUS This project is presently under re-scoping.1)$10M of the original appropriation were re-appropriated to upgrade the Static VAR Compensation Equipment that allows the Alaska Intertie without damaging transients,and a repair of Tower 195,a transmission tower that is in danger from encroachment by the Talkeetna River,and 2)the AEA is accomplishing a regional integrated resource plan for the Railbelt,that will establish an economic plan for transmission and generation to serve the Railbelt over the next 50 years. Under this plan,the segment upgrade will be viewed in the context of overall system improvement.It is expected that endpoints of the intertie completion project will be set under this planning effort,and the project may need to be re-scoped and funding level modified.Work has been halted to renegotiate the contract,and for possible re-scoping under the IRP. PROJECT COST:$20.3 million DESCRIPTION:Upgrade and extend the line from the Teeland Substation on Knik-Goose Bay Road to the Douglas substation in the Matanuska-Susitna Borough.The project is an integral part of the Alaska Intertie and will replace approximately 25 miles of an existing transmission line operated at 138kV,owned by MEA. PURPOSE:Construction of this bypass line will parallel the existing MEA owned line,and allow the present MEA owned intertie link,20 miles of which is insulated at 115kV and operated at 138kV,to return to MEA control and service.Continued use of this 20-mile portion of the 25- mile MEA asset by certain Railbelt utilities until January 1,2014 has been provided for through an RCA order. SOURCE OF FUNDS:2002 Legislative appropriation to AEA. PARTICIPANTS:AEA is contracting with Municipal Light and Power under a cooperative agreement to accomplish the transmission line project.AEA will own the new line and it will become part of the Alaska Intertie Project. BENEFITS:This new line will be an addition to the existing 170 mile Alaska Intertie.With AEA ownership and access,the existing agreements with MEA for use of MEA transmission lines, which are complex,will no longer be needed.It is expected that intertie operations will be simplified,and MEA will gain the full use of its assets it previously had devoted to intertie operation. ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND:It was determined that the most effective way to construct the line was to have ML&P manage all construction activities.This decision was the result of a collaborative effort between AEA and the Intertie participant utilities.The project has been approved by the Intertie Operating Committee. 813 West Northern Lights Boulevard e Anchorage,Alaska 99503-2495 www.aidea.org @ 907/771-3000 e FAX 907/771-3044 e Toll Free (Alaska Only)888/300-8534 e www.akenergyauthority.org
