................................................................................................................ 85 P a g e | 1 Introduction Project Development and Grant Progress Grants Progress To date AEA has issued grants for 60 Round 1 projects. Grants have not been issued for 13 projects. Applicants have decided not to proceed on two projects: Nikolaevsk Wind Farm final design and Galena Wood Heating construction. AEA is reallocating funds for these projects to the Takatz Lake Hydro feasibility project as directed by the Legislative Budget and Audit Committee. Maximum funding amounts of $4 million and $2 million were established in high and low energy cost communities respectively in order to achieve a wider geographic distribution of projects. Although the funding caps did enhance geographic spreading, they also resulted in delaying construction of five projects totaling $15.7 million. They are as follows: 1. Kotzebue Electric Association Wind Farm Expansion ($4 million). KEA and AEA staff are working to modify scope of work to address the decreased available funding. KEA has submitted an application in Round 3 that is recommended for funding. 2. Nome Joint Utilities Newton Peak Wind Farm Construction ($4 million). NJUS and AEA staff working to modify the scope to address the decreased funding and the need to integrate the new Banner Ridge wind farm. 3. Haida Corporation and Alaska Power and Telephone Reynolds Creek Hydroelectric Construction ($2 million). Haida Corp and AP&T are requesting a Round 3 grant and financing from the Power Project Loan Fund for the balance of the project. 4. Delta Greely School District Wood Chip Boiler Heating System ($2 million). Delta Greeley SD has requested funding from Round 3 for the balance of funding for the project. A grant is in place for Round 1 funds. 5. Nushagak Cooperative’s Lake Elva Hydroelectric ($4,006,500) also has construction funds but insufficient financing. A grant is in place, with $300,000 available for preconstruction activities with the remainder reserved for construction. In Round 3 AEA has recommended reallocation of $700,000 of these funds for preconstruction activities for Grant Lake Hydro, a related project. P a g e | 2 Progress on Projects This section provides a summary of the progress of the projects. Figure 1 summarizes expected progress on completing Round 1 projects broken down by the of project development phase (Reconnaissance/Feasibility, Final Design/Permitting, and Construction. By the end of calendar year 2010, AEA expects that 46 projects will be completed. Most of the remaining projects are expected to be completed by the end of calendar year 2011. Figure 2 provides a cumulative projected drawdown of grant funds by quarter to the end of calendar year 2013. By the end of 2010 AEA anticipates disbursing approximately $50 million to grantees for Round 1 projects. AEA anticipates disbursing approximately $73 million by the end of 2011. 81% or the total disbursements will be for construction projects. 5 26 36 37 37 1 9 10 10 10 2 11 21 22 23 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 2009 2010 2011 2012 2015Cumulative# Projects CompletedCalendar Year Fig. 1. RE Fund Round 1 Scheduled Project Completion Reconn/Feas Final Design Construction P a g e | 3 Cost Savings Cost savings can only be assessed after projects are in operation and have enough performance data to provide a realistic picture of fuel savings and operation and maintenance costs. Fuel price will also have a very great impact on savings. Currently two Round 1 projects have been completed and in operation long enough to assess savings. AEA provided the following information on cost savings for Kodiak Electric’s Pillar Mountain wind project and Gustavus Electric Company’s Fall Creek Hydro Project in September 25, 2009. No new factors have arisen that change the observed savings. 1. Pillar Mountain Wind Farm. KEA estimates savings of 5.8 cents per kWh of power generated by wind, assuming the current displaced fuel price of $2.10 per gallon. They estimate savings of 12.7 cents per kWh of power generated by wind if the fuel price rises to $3.00 per gallon. The estimated annual wind production is 12.2 million kWh, giving a community savings of approximately $708,000 per year at $2.10 per gallon fuel and $1,549,000 per year at $3.00 per gallon fuel. Savings are translated to a lower cost of power adjustment (fuel adjustment) on the consumers’ bills. 2. Falls Creek Hydroelectric. GEC estimates savings of 29.3 cents per kWh of hydropower assuming a displaced fuel price of $3.00 per gallon. The hydro plant is expected to generate almost all of the community’s electric energy. Given sales of 1,572,316 kWh in fy08, this translates to total savings of over $460,000 per year (before PCE). Savings will increase as fuel costs increase. - 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 $ MillionFig. 2. RE Fund Round 1 Estimated Grant Drawdown (Cumulative) Reconn/Feas Final Design Construction P a g e | 4 In the meantime, the best data available for assessing savings of other Round 1 projects is based on material submitted by applicants and evaluated by AEA, UAA Institute of Social and Economic Research, and private economists during proposal review. Figure 3 provides an estimate of cumulative yearly diesel and natural gas fuel savings over the next several years. The analysis assumes that savings will accrue during the year following completion of construction. Units are given in million Btu or diesel gallon equivalent for simplicity. By the end of 2010 fuel savings are expected to be approximately one million gallon equivalent per year. By the end of 2011 savings are anticipated to be 2.5 million gallons per year. By the end of 2012 savings are estimated at 5.8 million gallons per year. Actual savings to the consumer will be assessed through collection of detailed data through a monitoring program. - 100,000 200,000 300,000 400,000 500,000 600,000 700,000 800,000 900,000 - 1,000,000 2,000,000 3,000,000 4,000,000 5,000,000 6,000,000 7,000,000 2010 2011 2012 2013 Million Btu per yearGallons per Year Diesel EquivalentYear Fig. 3.

P a g e | 12 Alaska Village Electric Coop Cosmos Hills Hydroelectric Feasibility Study PBO00372; Grant No: 2195413; Project No: 407040 RE Fund Grant: $1,025,000 Project Type: HYDRO Match: 50,625 Applicant Type: Utility Other Funding Sources: Region: NW ARCTIC Total Project Cost: $1,075,625 RE FUND EXPENDED $0 As of 2/15/2010 Project Description: This purpose of this preconstruction grant is to prepare a feasibility study of the potential hydro resources to serve the villages of Ambler, Kiana, Kobuk and Shungnak. In order to obtain the most efficient use of these grant funds, hydro sites will only be considered which are appropriately sized to meet village needs and lie within a 10 mile radius of the village to be served. The first step will be to review prior studies, update cost estimates and re-run the economic analyses to arrive at a short list of economic sites. The goal of this study will be to arrive at no more than a single site for each of the four villages for further study. The findings will be documented in an interim report to AEA which details the analyses and provides recommendations for further study. Community outreach to villages will follow, and then proceeding into feasibility-level engineering activities. Environmental field studies and permitting will be accomplished. Stream gauging, surveying and mapping, engineering and conceptual design will be conducted. The final deliverable will be a feasibility final report which captures all data collected, studies performed, and conclusions reached. Project Status: AVEC is planning for 2010 field work and collecting previous studies at this time. Interim report is anticipated in late spring 2010. Final permitting and draft concept design report is scheduled to be completed by November 2011.
