S i w T e x t U n d e r l i n e d ( D E L E T E D T E X T 3 R A C X E T E D ]
holding ;ates in high cost service areas to affordable levels.
(b) The legislature intends that the energy authority revolving fund, created by sec. 7
of this Act, be managed so that
(1) the money granted for design and construction of the power transmission
interties authorized by secs. 31, 32, 34, and 35 of this Act is disbursed as work progress
payments;
(2) money is provided to allow the funding source for the power cost
equalization program (AS 44.83.162 - 44.83.164) to be changed from the general fund to the
energy authority revolving fund; funding for power cost equalization from the general fund
and the energy authority revolving fund combined is intended to be $17,000,000 annually
through Fiscal year 2013.
(c) The legislature further intends that this long-term commitment to the power cost
equalization program will permit and encourage the electric utility industry and its lenders to
develop the plans, make the investments, and take other actions that are necessary or prudent
to prepare to meet the utility needs of residents in rural Alaska without this assistance from
the state.
(d) It is the intent of the legislature that money deposited in the four dam pool
account, enacted by sec. 25 of this Act, may be appropriated by the legislature to Finance the
planning, rehabilitation, construction, and improvements to the four dam pool hydroelectric
projects and for other public purposes. Improvements to the projects may include the addition
of new hydroelectric generating capacity, the construction of interties to make the projects
more efFicient, and other improvements to the system. The legislature should be guided in
establishing a priority for expenditures for the four dam pool projects by a majority vote of
the public utilities that are members of the project management committee under the power
sales agreement for the four dam pool hydroelectric power projects.
* Sec. 2. AS 36.30.850(b) is amended by adding a new paragraph to read:

New Text Underlined [DELETED TEXT BRACXETED]
SB 106: "An Act relating to authorization of Anchorage-Kenai, Healy-Fairbanks, and Tyee-Swan interties."
The bill includes several provisions:
1. Authorizes design and construction of three 138 kV transmission
lines (Anchorage-Kenai, Healy-Fairbanks, and Tyee-Swan) in
accordance with AS 44.83.185(c).
2. Approves a construction cost for each project in accordance with
AS 44.83.185(c).
3. Requires that the Anchorage-Kenai and Healy-Fairbanks
transmission lines be capable of upgrade to 230 kV.
4. Makes project authorization of the Anchorage-Kenai and Healy-
Fairbanks interties contingent upon agreement by participating
utilities to pay 50 percent of design and construction costs, and
all operations and maintenance costs.
5. Expresses the intent of the Legislature th. j (. the Energy Authority
finance tlie Tyee-Swan project with revenue bonds to be repaid
from Four Dam Pool power sales.
The Alaska Energy Authority (AEA) supports the authoriza :.on of the
Anchorage-Kenai and Healy-Fairbanks 138 kV transmission line projects. This
position is supported by a feasibility study issued by AEA in March 1991,
which was adopted by the AEA Board of Directors and submitted to the
Legislature at that time. AEA has proposed that the Governor submit
legislation this year that would contain these project authorizations.
The AEA Board of Directors has not taken a position on the Tyee-Swan
intertie, although a feasibility study issued by AEA in 1992 concluded that the
project is economically feasible if electricity demand continues to grow in
Ketchikan. AEA staff supports the project, but has proposed that other
potential Southeast energy projects be reviewed and compared before a final
commitment is made to Tyee-Swan. Also, note that the $55.6 million cost
estimate developed in the feasibility study is for a 115 kV line rather than
138 kV.
The construction costs appearing in SB 106 are drawn from AEA feasibility
studies, but for clarity should indicate the price level associated with each
estimate. The $84.1 million and $77.6 million estimates for the Railbelt
interties were both developed in January 1991 iollars. The $55.6 million
estimate for Tyee-Swan was developed in 1992 tu liars.
POSITION P A P E R
SB 106
Page 2
With respect to the Anchorage-Kenai line, there is significant uncertainty in
the cost estimate due, in part, to questions about the necessity of burying thu
sunmarino cable, questions that will net be resolved until the design stage.
There are significant cost issues with respect to Healy-Fairbanks as well.
Because of this uncertainty, the proposed AEA legislation includes a provision
that, if actual construction cost exceeds the cost approved in the authorization
act, project authorization will remain effective provided that no portion of the
excess costs are payable by the state (i.e., that the utilities agree to pay such
excess costs).
AEA does not support the language in SB 106 requiring that the Anchorage-
Kenai and Healy-Fairbanks lines be capable of being upgraded to 230 kV. This
language would essentially require that each line be built initially to 230 kV
standards in terms of structure size for the over uead towers and cable capacity
for the submarine cable, all at a cost substantially higher than the cost
estimates proposed for approval. If the overhead towers and submarine cable
are sized for 138 kV operation, they would essentially have to be replaced in
order to "upgrade" to 230 kV.
AEA supports the concept of requiring the participating utilities to pay a
substantial portion of construction costs for the Railbelt intert ies, and all
operations and maintenance costs. However, we are pursuing an approach by
which the state would contract with the utilities for construction of the
projects, limit the state’s contribution to a fixed amount, and shift the risk of
cost overrun to the utilities. In contrast, SB 106 would commit the state to 50
percent of whatever the actual construction costs turned out to be.
There is ambiguity in the expression of legislative intent for the financing of
the Tyee-Swan project; specifically, whether the Four Dam Pool power sales
revenue dedicated to paying off the intertie revenue bonds is intended to be
additional revenue to be realized by increasing the Four Dam Pool wholesale
power rate, or is intended to be a portion of the revenue stream that is
presently projected given no change in the existing power sales agreement. If
additional revenue is intended from an increase in the wholesale power rate,
agreement by all five of the Four Dam Pool utilities would be necessary to
change the wholesale power contract accordingly. This seems to us unlikely.
However, the existing revenue stream is pledged for repayment of the AEA
loan from the Power Development Revolving Fund. We believe that at least
part of this loan would have to be forgiven by the Legislature or appropria id
to AEA before the loan repayments could be diverted for payment of revenue
bond debt service.
POSITION P A P E R
SB 106
Page 3
AEA would oppose the idea of financing 100 percent of the Tyee-Swan
construction cost from the existing power sales revenue stream because it
would mean no contribution from the affected communities toward the
payment of intertie construction costs beyond what they are already paying on
existing debt. AEA and the administration have adopted a policy of seeking
a reasonable contribution from the communities that benefit from state capital
projects, both as a way of leveraging limited state funds and as a way to
ensure that such projects are important to the people they would serve. If
revenue bonds were issued to pay the full cost of the Tyee-Swan intertie, debt
service payments would be expected to exceed $5 million per year, or roughly
half of the expected Four Dam Pool power sales revenue stream.
Finally, the AEA p osition on similar bills introduced in the House (see Position
Paper on HB 50 and HB 51) applies to SB 106 as well. While the projects in
SB 106 would provide benefit to particular regions of the state, it does not
address the overall state energy needs. A comprehensive approach is
imperative if we hope to succeed in providing efficient power at reasonable cost
to all areas of our state.

Analysis Fiscal Note CSSB 106
The legislation affects three components of the Alaska Energy Authority (AEA) budget - Power Cost Equzliation (PCE) Grants, PCE Administration and AEA Operations.
Over a 20-year period, the bill would shift funding for the PCE program away from the general fund to a new Energy Authority revolving fund. This shift, as intended by the legislation, would save the general fund $272,000,000 in funding for PCE grants and $4,250,100 in estimated general funds for PCE Administration. The legislature would reappropriate funds from the revolving fund to the PCE or other programs as they decide.
The bill also authorizes four interties and a companion bill SB 126 appropriates state monies for partial funding of their construction. The balance of funds required would b 3 provided through the issuance of bonds after suitable contracts were executed. The AEA Operations component would require an influx of money from the revolving fund in the early years to fund the staff and contractual efforts required to execute the contracts for design and construction of the projects and to finance the balance. As the projects came on-line, AEA would receive monies from the utilities to pay for the operation and maintenance of the projects beginning in the FY99 fiscal year as general fund/program receipts. While these are displayed on the fiscal notes, such restricted receipts will be revenue neutral and would not need to be shown if AEA's O&M receipts were also removed as general fund program receipts by a change to AS 37.05.146. As the bill stands, the O&M receipts would still need to be appropriated by the legislature from monies collected from the utilities receiving the interti service.

Testimony of Daniel E. Bloomer—Chugacli Electric Association, Inc.On SB 106 & 126
Before Senate Finance Committee April 15,1993
Thank you for the opportunity to present Chugacli Electric Association's comments on SB
106/126. As many of you know, Chugacli is the largest electric utility in the state of
Alaska, providing service to more than 63,000 customers in tiie Anchorage bowl and
upper Kenai Peninsula.
Chugacli is also the largest generator and transmitter of electricity in Alaska. In addition
to generating power for our own customers,Chugacli also produces the electricity used by
Matanuska Electric Association in Palmer (29,000 customers), Homer Electric
Association on the Kenai Peninsula (18,000 customers), City of Seward (2,600)
customers, and sells economy energy to Golden Valley Electric Association in Fairbanks
(27,000 customers). Therefore, Chugacli has substantial interest in this legislation.
The bills before you, as amended yesterday, present a solid energy package that will help
to strengthen power systems throughout the state. In the Railbelt, the new interties will
improve the ability to transfer Bradley Lake power throughout the region and reduce
operating costs for the utilities. The Sutton to Glcnnallen intertie will electrically tie the
Copper River Basin and City of Valdez into the railbelt providing those areas with access
to inexpensive reliable electricity. The Swan-Tyee intertie will enhance southeast's ability
to utilize their hydroelectric facilities and ultimately reduce costs for all of the four-dam
pool participants. PCE funding gives our rural systems financial support which allows
them time to resolve their energy problems.
In a nutshell, these bills represent a good energy package that addresses a majority of the
electrical needs in Alaska. The utilities are united in our suppoit for th' linkage and we
urge your support to move the bills to the Senate floor. Thanks again the opportunity
to comment on these bills.

Memo to: Senate Finance Committee
From: Charlie Walls, General Manager (Y
Re: SB 106/126-Energy Plan
The Alaska Village Electric Cooperative (AVEC) is a bush electric utility system that serves a population of about 20,000 rural people who live in 49 villages. This summer that will increase to 50 villages with the community of Brevig Mission joining us.
The power cost equalization program is of critical importance to rural Alaska. We have followed the progression of SB 106/126 and support the bill as amended on April 14. Our bottom line is twenty year funding for the PCE program at $17 million per year. The cash flow will enable us to move toward the goal of self sufficiency. When we talk with the federal government about loans for our villages, the fact that the state has made a long term committment will greatly enhance our abilitiy to increase federal participation in solving the rural energy problems.
We also support the state investing in the transmission interties. This strengthened infrastructure will provide the means for future economic development in the state. The bill is a good balance for the whole state.
We fully support the bills in their present form and urge reporting them out of the Senate Finance Committee.

FISCAL NOTE
STATE OF ALASKA BELL NO. SB 106
1993 LEGISLATIVE SESSION
ANALYSIS: (continued)
The fiscal note assumes the following:
1. Anchorage-Kenai and Healy-Fairbanks interties, though authorized, are not built as a result
of this bill alone because an appropriation would also be needed.
2. Tyee-Swan is built as a result of this bill because no appropriation is needed. Revenue bonds
are issued for the full construction cost.
3. The fiscal note shows a schedule of outlays for construction of Tyee-Swan using bond proceeds,
but does not show the payment of debt service on these bonds. No attempt has been made to
account for financing costs and interest during construction, which would add to the total bond
size. Debt service on the bonds would be expected at about $6 million per year, assuming a
$70 million bond issue for 30 years issued at a tax-exempt rate of 7.5 percent. This $6 million
per year would come from Four Dam Pool power sales.
4. The Energy Authority is expected to build the Tyee-Swan intertie rather than contract with
a local utility to build it. Additional positions are shown consistent with Energy Authority
l construction of a major project. A project manager, half-time environmental and right-of-way
position, and administrative assistant are shown for the first two years. To these are added
two full-time engineers and a half-time accountant during years 3 through 5. FY 99 is
projected as the first full year of project operation. Overhead is shown at 60 percent of
personal services costs.
5. Program receipts in FY 99 are assumed to come from purchases of power over the intertie to
pay for operations and maintenance, and Energy Authority costs during the initial year of
project operation.
