5 Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Financing Strategies
6 Financing Strategies There are two basic ownership strategies for financing solar energy projects. Third Party Ownership Service agreement, not a financing Power purchase agreement Energy assets owned by a third-party Host customer purchases output at a fixed price Cost effective solution (?) Government/Host Ownership Cash purchase Tax-exempt financing options General obligation bonds Lease revenue bonds/certificates of participation Municipal lease/purchase Tax credit bonds Clean Renewable Energy Bonds (CREBs) Qualified Energy Conservation Bonds (QECBs) Qualified School Construction Bonds (QSCBs) Qualified Zone Academy Bonds (QZABs) Build America Bonds (BABs) 6
7 Acquisition Strategy Tax-exempt Lease/Purchase Financing Butte-Glenn Community College District Overview: Butte-Glenn Community College District is a national leader in sustainability in community colleges, with a goal to be carbon neutral by The district has completed four solar projects and the fifth project will be completed in the next few months. Issuer Benefit: The total project cost is approximately $7.7 million. Over the next five years, the district will qualify for an estimated $1.7 million in utility incentives. After the lease/purchase is paid off, the district will save an additional estimated $7.5 million over the life of the system. Structure: Bank of America provided tax-exempt funding in November 2008 under a 20-year lease/purchase agreement. 7

9 Approved for external use California Department of Transportation (CalTrans) Clean Renewable Energy Bonds (CREBs) $20,000,000 CREB s Solar panels Overview: Banc of America Public Capital Corp s Energy Services team recently provided funding for a $20MM series of Clean Renewable Energy Bonds (CREBs) to the California Department of Transportation (CalTrans). Proceeds from the CREBs will be used to finance the installation of solar photovoltaic panels at approximately 70 sites throughout the State of California. The bonds were issued by the California Alternative Energy and Advanced Transportation Financing Authority (CAEATFA) on behalf of CalTrans. Issuer Benefit: CREBs, which were created as part of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, are taxable bonds under which a majority of the financing costs are paid to the bondholder in the form of a Federal tax credit. This program enables a municipal organization to finance renewable energy projects at a very low rate of interest. In conjunction with Banc of America Securities, Energy Services responded to CAEATFA s Request for Proposal with an offer to directly purchase the CREBs on a private placement basis. Total debt service (principal and interest) over the 15-year term will be $22.5 million. During the same period, Caltrans will save $24.7 million on its energy bills. Use of the solar panels will reduce the costs of generating and transmitting electricity, provide relief to the local electricity grid, and reduce greenhouse gas and nitrous oxide emissions. Structure: CalTrans will pay an interest rate of 1.45% over a 15-year repayment term. Over the entire 25-year lifespan of the photovoltaic solar panels, CalTrans energy cost savings will total $52.5 million, with $27.8 million of the savings coming after the bonds are repaid. 9
