GlossaryPeak Demand: the maximum energy required at a specific time, expressed in thousands of watts (kilowatts or KW)$KW-mo

: the $/KW price x the maximum of KW recorded at the electric meter over the past 12 months kWh: thousands of watts/hour of energy produced or used over time$/kWh

: the price per kWh consumed or producedBtu (British thermal unit): measure of energy required to raise 16 oz. of water by one degree F. $/

MMBtu: price per 1 million btu, the standard price increment for natural gas.

Standard Cubic Foot (SCF): for Natural Gas, 1 scf typically = 950-1,150

btu

. 1

mmbtu = 1,000 scf of natural gasLoad Factor: for an electric generator: Full load = running the generator 100% of the timePartial Load = running the generator as less than 100% of the timeAvailability: the percent of time an electric generator or source of electric supply is available to produce or supply electricity. Capacity: the maximum amount of power in KW that can be produced by a generatorCapacity Factor: the average amount of capacity produced by a generator over timeOutage: forced (ie, a breakdown) or scheduled (down time for maintenance)Heat Rate: the btu required to produce a kWh of electricityReliability: the measure of certainty in receiving power from a given source. Reliability has to take into account outages (forced and scheduled)N-1 Reliability Risk: the risk of loss to the electric supply system from the single largest potential failure event on the system. This can include the forced outage or failure of:the transmission line or substation feeding the system for any scenario involving delivery of wholesale power, or the largest generating unit under a self-supply scenario.

BackgroundAcoma and CDEC have agreed to “part ways”Enables Acoma to either:Grant another utility a “franchise” and become their retail customer (a “new” CDEC), or

Maintain Independence by forming a Tribal Utility Authority (TUA) Transition Period:Power Purchase Agreement Self-Generate Power

CDEC may be available during the transition to:Provide Acoma TUA with power requirementsHelp operate and maintain Acoma’s distribution system

Results Summary100% Wholesale Power (including WAPA allocation) is most expensive option at $0.0843/kWh ($84.30/MWH, Navopache/PNM PSA, 2013)

The regional market for purchased power is +/- $0.07/kWh ($70/MWH) – electrical transmission and substation costs are major considerationsEngine/generators w/natural gas fuel at $3.96/

mmbtu and 80% load factor are priced at $0.082/kWh ($82/MWH) and is the most cost-effective and reliable solution, with the potential for improved economics via Combined Heat & Power, priced at about $0.076/kWh ($76/MWH)

Wholesale Power Sources: Existing Allocation from WAPA to AcomaDemand ($5.18/KW-mo):

Summer (Apr – Sep): 410 KW/moWinter (Oct – Mar): 420 KW/moEnergy ($0.0122/kWh): Summer: 783,229/kWh total;

ave = 130,538/kWh/moWinter: 750,759/kWh total; ave = 125,127/kWh/mo

Transmission Delivery Costs: $1.14/KW-mo + $0.0162/kWhAll-in delivered cost = $0.0489/kWh ($48.90/MWH)

(Note: The WAPA allocation is equivalent to about ½ the power used by the hotel casino, at about 60% of CDEC’s cost)

Slide14

Technology OptionsGas Turbines: Higher capital & operating costs; not efficient under partial load, not scalable, reduced reliability (too large to fail)

Internal Combustion Engine (ICE)/Generators:Efficient in full or variable load conditionsSmall size options (400, 800, 1500, 2000 KW) allow multiple machines to be optimally matched with variable loads (scalable and redundant)

4,800 KW of ICE units = $7.96 million installed cost ($1,650/KW)Highest reliability for AcomaService contracts readily available

Financing OptionsUSDA Rural Utility Systems (RUS): Targets Indian Country InfrastructureInterest Rates as low as 2%

New Market Tax Credits (NMTC):“leveraged” NMTC strips 39% out as federal tax creditDiscounted value paid by investor (about 30% of total loan value) for tax credit, which is not repaid

Potential for tribal sharing in tax credit payment7 year debt repayment w/rollover to longer termTribal Economic Development (TED) Bonds

US Treasury Dept programTax free bond issueThird Party Conventional Financing

Slide23

Way ForwardAcquire 15 minute meter data from CDECDevelop plan and schedule for establishing Tribal Utility Authority (electricity & gas)Clearly define costs of distribution system

Determine additional power needs of Industrial Park and new tribal loadsIdentify CHP opportunitiesEvaluate/optimize engine/generator loads by location
