2 2 Alaska Energy Authority: Mission To Reduce the Cost of Energy in Alaska AEA is an independent and public corporation of the State of Alaska Created by the Alaska Legislature in : The purpose of the Authority is to promote, develop, and advance the general prosperity and economic welfare of the people of the state by providing a means of financing and operating power projects and facilities that recover and use waste energy and by carrying out the powers and duties assigned to it under AS

3 3 Focusing on Communities Emphasizing community-based approach to projects Technical assistance, regional planning and project management Provide synergy between planning, projects and funding sources Assist communities to move to projectready status Break down internal silos

4 4 Renewable Energy Grant Fund Grant recommendation program supports communities Helps achieve state renewable goal 50% by 2025 Displaces volatile-priced fossil fuels Provides a vetting mechanism for energy projects Capitalizes on local energy resources Expands Alaska s renewable energy knowledge base Provides local employment Benefits businesses not eligible for PCE Reduces State expenses through Schools and PCE Coffman Cove School Garn boiler.

5 5 Strong technical and economic evaluation process Emphasis on high cost areas and regional balance Eligible applicants: Renewable Energy Grant Fund Utilities, local governments, tribal councils, Independent Power Producers Eligible projects: Wind, hydro, biomass, heat recovery, heat pumps, geothermal, solar, wave, tidal, river hydrokinetic, landfill gas, local natural gas, transmission of renewables St. Paul Island Wind and Flywheel

6 6 Renewable Energy Fund State invested $259M in REF since Applications evaluated 300 Grants 200 Projects 50 Operating now 90 Operating by 2018 All numbers rounded

7 Renewable Energy Fund Achievements Atka: Hydro Earned national recognition for excellence from the Clean Energy States Alliance, 2014 Displacing 20 million gallons of diesel equivalent annually Overall program benefit cost ratio: 2.8 Leveraged more than $200 million of other investments First 44 constructed projects have lifetime benefit of $889 million (NPV) Prince Wales Island: Biomass 7

12 Energy Burden by Region 12

13 Story: Thorne Bay Biomass School biomass boiler Feasibility funded through Alaska Wood Energy Development Task Group Design & construction funded by REF Displaces 9,000 gal. diesel/year Parents and students raise money for activities by splitting and stacking wood Heats greenhouse; students grow vegetables; served in school lunch; extra sold locally Part of curriculum, economic development, local health, local jobs, local energy Thorne Bay Biomass and Greenhouse Photos courtesy of Dan Bihn 13

14 14 Story: Kodiak, Alaska 99.4% Renewable in % Hydro 21% Wind Terror Lake Hydro added 3 rd turbine Wind: 9MW installed capacity 6 GE 1.5MW turbines Battery Next: Flywheel to lengthen battery life and add electric crane at port Pillar Mountain Wind

15 15 Renewable Energy Impact on Rates in Kodiak Electric Rate Differences for Kodiak Due to Wind Cost per kwh (cents) Without Wind Actual Consumer Cost per kwh With Wind Actual Consumer Cost per kwh Savings: $4.5M/year of fuel costs Current electric rate: $0.159 per kwh

17 Why Hydro? Affordable energy is the building block of a healthy economy Hydroelectric projects provide clean, reliable, affordable and long-term power Residential rates Business growth and development Attract new industry Long-term diversification Promotes integration of variable power sources Clean, sustainable and reliable energy Reduces dependence on volatile-pricing of fossil fuels 10/29/

18 Project Highlights Susitna-River Mile River Miles from Talkeetna River Miles upstream from Devils Canyon 42-mile reservoir, average width of one mile ~50 percent of Railbelt s Energy Demand (2.8 GWH of annual energy) Dam Height: 705 Feet Estimated Cost: $5.6 Billion Would serve nearly 80 percent of Alaskans 18

19 What Does the Future Hold? 19

20 20 Where We Are Study Plan Development Study Implementation Phase Impact Assessment Development of Protection, Mitigation and Enhancement Measures (PMEs)

21 Refining Design 21 Posted Engineering Feasibility Report (2014) Refined dam height to 705 feet Optimized Capacity while maintaining 2,800 GWh annual energy Drilling confirmed no active faults at the dam site (2014) Eliminated the Chulitna road access potential route

22 22 Status of FERC Studies Completed 12 of 58 FERC-approved studies Filed Initial Study Report (2014) Filed 32 technical memorandums on 2014 environmental study results Administrative Order 271 paused ILP process Resuming ILP with ISR meetings in 2016

23 Emissions Reductions Susitna-Watana Hydro would displace an estimated 1.3 million metric tons of CO2 annually In 2015, Renewable Energy Fund projects are expected to displace 200,000 metric tons of CO2 emissions Susitna-Watana Hydro would decrease Alaska electric generation emissions by 42% Car emissions source EPA 10/29/

24 Susitna Basin Flow Contributions 24

25 Chinook by the Numbers 25

26 Chinook Salmon Spawning Distribution 26

27 27 What s Next? Advance the project to the FERC Study Plan Determination (2016) Preserve the value of data collected Archiving online to allow access for Alaskans Wrapping up studies Synthesizing data Approximately $103 million needed to advance to FERC license application

28 28 Providing Economic Value Susitna-Watana Hydro would provide billions of dollars in energy savings for the Alaska Railbelt $11.2 billion in energy savings during first 50 years 5,000 preconstruction and non-construction direct jobs ( ) 1,155 peak construction workforce expected in 2025 $2.6 billion in direct local spending during construction Northern Economics Study March, 2015
