r jGREEN t ™ POWER Bf PARTNERSHIP" Aligning Green Power Partners with New Renewable Energy Projects Pilot Project Summary Please return the completed summary via email to Blaine Collison, Green Power Partnership Director, collison.blaine(a)epa.gov / 202-343-9139 Project Name: Acme Landfill, Landfill-Gas-to-Energy Project Developer Name: FlexEnergy / Acme Landfill Contact Information: Andy Freeman (andy.freeman@flexenergy.com), Su Huang (su.huang@flexenergy.com.) Renewable Energy Type: Landfill Gas to Electricity Total Planned Megawatt (MW) Size: 1.5 MW Phase I: 1.5 MW Phase II: n/a Project Location: Martinez, CA Is the project permitted?: Not presently. If not, what is the permit status?: Once a good off-taker is identified for power, permitting will begin. What is the status of the project's site?: Currently the landfill gas is being shipped across the street for use in a boiler. Have land leases been filed with the county?: Not needed. What is the status of interconnection, and have system impact and facility studies been completed? (Distribution or transmission level projects are both eligible): The interconnection process has not been officially kicked off. Does the transmission owner (TO) or independent system operator (ISO) have a process to study the project's impact on the local or regional grid and the subsequent cost to interconnect?: Yes. What is the status of the Environmental Impact Statement?: No EIR needed. Is any element of the project - technology or other - experimental or pilot-phase?: No. The Flex Turbine™ MT250 has run with high availability since 2004 across many applications globally. What is the long- and short-term operations program of the project? Does the renewable energy technology manufacturer have a technical support team locally available?: FlexEnergy has local service technicians available to maintain the turbines bumper to bumper for 10 years. ------- For wind projects, has a meteorological tower been installed? If yes, when was the tower installed and how much data has been collected?: N/A Who has analyzed the data and what is that person's experience with respect to projects that have actually been financed?: Customer has private financing. Can the turbine manufacturer be financed through "traditional" tax equity and debt in the U.S.?: Yes. Provide a short summary of how you view project finance and structure/ownership: Customer is not seeking financing support. What are your ideal types of prospective institutions/partners?: Customer is not seeking part-ownership of the project or financing support. Customer is seeking a PPA offtaker to pay for 12 million kWh of baseload renewable power annually. What is the intended off-take for the renewable power with respect to bundled or unbundled products and is there a preference? No preference for bundled or unbundled. We anticipate a 10 year or long-term PPA agreement. ------- |
