December 2014 3 Inside KIUC From the Chairman This is a traditional way of charging for power and water, but it does not always accurately reflect the utility’s cost of serving the customer. About half of the cost of running Kaua‘i Island Utility Cooperative is for generating power. The other half is for fixed costs: maintaining transmission systems, customer service, taxes, regulatory costs, insurance and so forth. Our average cost of service is about $100 per household before we even start including the cost to generate power. Since most of our rate is based on use, people with modest use and small There is a lot of complexity in electric bills tend to be subsidized by those with rates, and much of that involves crossmore use and big bills. I have talked to subsidies, in which the rates charged to residents who have $70 or $80 bills and one class of members subsidize another. are proud of their conservation efforts. Some of these subsidies are social Others have bills in the hundreds. policies mandated by regulators, but This kind of billing used to be others are inadvertent subsidies caused conscious social policy—letting by changing technologies and changing profligate users and wealthier folks market conditions. with big houses cover some of the costs It is a standard policy of utilities that of people of modest means in smaller cross-subsidies should be avoided. homes. Let’s look at a traditional, purposeful Today, however, a lot of folks have subsidy scheme that is used by most solar on their roofs and a few have utilities: the policy of basing most of the windmills. Having small-scale power bill on how much power you use—the plants in the community is referred to in kilowatt-hour charge. the industry as distributed generation. Many folks with DG may pay very small power bills. Increasingly, these folks are being subsidized by residents who often cannot afford to install solar. Here is what the Edison Foundation’s Institute for Electric Innovation says about that: “Because residential retail rates are almost always designed to recover most of the power system’s fixed costs through kWh charges, a DG customer will avoid paying some or all of its fair share of the fixed costs of grid services. Ultimately, the fixed costs that the DG customer does not pay, which are significant, will be shifted to other retail customers … Pushing any of this cost onto non-DG customers raises serious economic efficiency and fairness issues.” At KIUC, we are wrestling with issues such as cross-subsidies. We are working on redesigning our rate structure to give members more choices, while ensuring the utility’s costs are fairly allocated. If you have thoughts on these topics, please email us at KIUCBoD@hawaii.rr.com, or come to one of our monthly board meetings, which are open to the public.

December 2015 5 Members and Community Living Off the Grid, For Now By Luke Evslin If you are young, idealistic and stuck in a hospital bed recovering from a neardeath experience, stay away from the writings of Henry David Thoreau. He said: “I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.” After a lifetime of consumerism, the writings of a 19th-century philosopher convinced me to go off grid. The distant misty peaks of Makaleha would be my Walden. I lay in bed, immobilized by a severe back injury, yet dreaming of the day I could stand and cut the cord on civilization. I wanted to suck out all the marrow of life while saving money and reducing my carbon footprint. What better way than going off grid? Utility-scale energy is complicated: spinning reserves, frequency, naphtha, diesel, ratepaying, amperage, voltage and anthropogenic climate change. I have a hard time wrapping my head around it all. But I can understand off grid. Just six solar panels and four batteries. I could count the components on my two hands, and it was within my price range. And then no more utility bills. It was perfect. And I was delusional. As soon as I left the hospital bed, I built a water catchment tank, installed 6 KIUC Currents Photos by Shelley Paik – Panels sit on the hillside overlooking Luke’s yurt. six 250-watt photovoltaic panels and enclosed my wife, Sokchea, and I in a bubble of self-righteousness. It has now been four years. Our water still comes from clouds and our electricity from the sun. But that bubble of idealism burst long, long ago. mossy-tasting water or the ammonia emanating from the compost heap, but we took the hint that our rejection of infinite electricity and municipal water had brought us down a few notches on the social ladder.

Truly going off grid is just as impossible for our modern palate to digest as dirt in the schoolyard. Boiling water a challenge Speaking of dirt, right now I am drinking an organic Rainforest blend coffee that was compiled from so many Third World sources that no country of origin is listed on the label. If I were better at selling this lifestyle, I would say that my foreign dictatorship-sourced coffee was brewed from the falling drops of condensation on the slopes of a majestic Hawaiian rainforest. But I know better. Most of the time my rainwater is only brewing mosquito larva and the bacteria that specialize in decomposing the anole lizards that find their unfortunate end in my tank.

By increasing the voltage of our islandwide grid, our small photovoltaic contribution ultimately would reduce the demand for KIUC’s naphtha- and diesel-burning generators. Do I regret going off grid? No. Just like picking the dirt out of my teeth taught me the value of humility, going off grid has taught me the value of electricity. No laundry after 4 p.m. During the day when the sun is shining, I have a bumper crop of available electrons. Yet at night, when we are running exclusively off of our battery bank, every watt that flows into our home is extremely valuable. We never have more than two lights on at a time.

The purpose of the program is to encourage households to use electricity at the time of day when less-expensive solar energy is available. With more than 50 megawatts of electricity generated during the day by utility-scale and rooftop photovoltaic systems on Kaua‘i, a key measure of the program’s success is the ability of members to move a significant amount of their energy use from night to day to take advantage of the lower rates—a practice known as “shifting load.” If sufficient load-shifting occurs, KIUC could avoid having an over-supply of solar during the day—a situation that will lead to limiting the amount of solar allowed on the grid. Shifting load also would result in less demand for electricity at night, allowing KIUC to power down some of its oil-fired generators. Program participants will receive a 25 percent discount on standard electric rates from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily for one year. By shifting their energy use— doing laundry during the day instead of at night, for example— participants could see significant savings on their electric bills. There is no cost to participants and no penalty for using electricity in the nondiscounted hours; participants pay the standard electric rate from 3:01 p.m. to 8:59 a.m. Using data from participants’ smart meters, KIUC will collect and analyze each participating households’ energy use patterns before, during and after the pilot. That data will be used to help KIUC determine whether the program will be expanded to include all ratepayers. Participants have committed to stay in the pilot program for one year, respond to occasional follow-up questions from KIUC and take part in a brief training session in late January. The program begins in February and ends in early 2017. Deadline for KIUC Board Candidates is December 21 Three of the nine elected member representatives on the KIUC Board of Directors are up for election in 2016. KIUC will accept petitions from Dec. 1 through Dec. 21, 2015, from members seeking election to the board. Election ballots will be mailed the week of Feb. 15, 2016, with a voting deadline of March 12, 2016. KIUC members may be nominated by collecting 35 signatures of other members (electric account holders) in good standing and by submitting a completed member petition to the Nominating Committee by Dec. 21. If you wish to submit a petition, please go to www.kiuc.coop for information. All prospective candidates must complete the Prospective KIUC Board Candidate Application and the Authority to Release Information Form, and must meet the requirements of Board Policy 18—Board Member Qualifications and Eligibility. The board of directors governs the business of KIUC, and sets the strategic direction and policies of the cooperative. December 2015 9 Inside KIUC Solar-Powered Electricity Even After the Sun Goes Down By Jim Kelly Kaua‘i Island Utility Cooperative has signed a power purchase agreement with SolarCity for electricity from the first utility-scale solar array and battery storage system designed to supply power to the grid in the evening, when demand is highest. The proposed SolarCity project at Kapaia is the first utility-scale system in the U.S. to provide dispatchable solar energy, meaning the utility can count on electricity being available when it is needed, even hours after the sun goes down. KIUC has requested an accelerated timetable for approval by the Hawai‘i Public Utilities Commission. To qualify for federal tax credits that will substantially reduce the cost of the project, construction must begin by April 2016 so the project can be in commercial operation by Dec. 31, 2016. The array and battery storage facility will be built on 50 acres leased to SolarCity by Grove Farm Inc. adjacent to KIUC’s Kapaia power station off Mā‘alo Road. The battery will feed up to 13 megawatts of electricity onto the grid to “shave” the amount of conventional power generation needed to meet the evening peak, which lasts from 5 to 10 p.m. By using the battery instead of diesel generators, KIUC will reduce its use of imported fossil fuels and cut its greenhouse gas emissions. The unique capabilities of the proposed project already have drawn attention from energy researchers, engineers and journalists from around the world. A September report in The Washington Post headlined, “Why storing solar energy and using it at night is closer than you think,” described the Kaua‘i project and other storage projects as potentially having a “transformative” effect on how electricity is generated and used. 10 KIUC Currents Because the 13-MW AC (17-MW DC) solar array will be used primarily to recharge the battery, it will not add a significant amount of electricity onto the Kaua‘i grid during the day, when the amount of solar energy available may occasionally exceed demand, especially on sunny days. Under terms of the 20-year contract, KIUC will pay SolarCity 14.5 cents per kilowatt-hour for electricity—slightly more than the cost of energy from KIUC’s two existing 12-MW solar arrays, whose output is available only during the day. “KIUC has been investigating energy storage options for more than two years, and price has always been the biggest challenge,” said David Bissell, KIUC president and CEO. “This is a breakthrough project on technology and on price that enables us to move solar energy to the peak demand hours in the evening and reduce the amount of fossil fuel we’re using.” The battery manufacturer has not yet been selected, Peter Rive, founder and chief technical officer of SolarCity, told the Greentech Media blog. However, he said Tesla is a leading contender. The chairman of SolarCity is Elon Musk, Rive’s cousin and CEO of Tesla Motors Inc. “We think their technology is ahead of the pack for this kind of application,” Rive told Greentech. SolarCity was the contractor on KIUC’s first 12-MW solar array in Kōloa, which went into commercial operation in September 2014. Members and Community Hey, Do We Have Your Money? Every year, KIUC publishes a list of members who we owe a patronage capital refund. Patronage capital is the money KIUC has left after paying all of its expenses in a given year. At the end of the year, that money is credited to each member’s patronage capital account, according to the amount paid for electricity used. In past years, KIUC issued checks to members, so it’s possible some of those on the list simply forgot to cash the check or accidentally threw it away. That’s one of the reasons KIUC switched to reflecting patronage capital as a credit on bills once a year. If your name appears on the list, you must apply for a refund. Please complete the refund form below and provide a copy of picture ID as proof the person requesting the refund is the same as the account holder. You can mail in the form or bring it in to our office. If you need additional forms, download one from our website at www.kiuc.coop. If you have questions about patronage capital, please call 246.4300. Please allow 45 business days for us to process your request.

Inside KIUC Hawai‘i’s Largest Solar Array Goes Online in Anahola Dedicating KIUC’s solar project at Anahola are, from left, Norman Sakamoto of DHHL, KIUC Chairman Jan TenBruggencate, CEO David Bissell, Rev. Ipo Kahaunaele-Ferreira, Councilmember KipuKai Kuali‘i, REC Solar CEO Al Bucknam and Kaua‘i Mayor Bernard Carvalho Jr. Photo by Kymi Sakai. The state’s largest solar array, the 12-megawatt Anahola solar project, came online in October and is now producing about 20 percent of the electricity used on Kaua‘i during the day. The array was dedicated at a ceremony on Nov. 7 attended by about 100 community members, some of whom took tours led by members of KIUC’s engineering staff. The Rev. Ipo Kahaunaele-Ferreira of Anahola blessed the project. The $54 million project was built by REC Solar on 60 acres of land leased for 25 years from the state Department of Hawaiian Home Lands. When the lease ends, the solar array will become the property of DHHL and its beneficiaries. David Bissell, president and CEO of KIUC, noted that the cooperative will pay DHHL and Native Hawaiian community development agencies more than $7 million during the life of the project, including $1 million for road and infrastructure improvements in Anahola. “This project belongs not only to KIUC’s members, but especially to the 16 KIUC Currents people of Anahola, who we’ve been working with since 2011,” Bissell said. “This successful project shows our cooperative at work, always for the members and the entire island community.” KipuKai Kuali‘i, a county councilmember who also served on the Anahola Homestead Solar Advisory Committee, said: “Projects like this one engage and empower the Native Hawaiian communities like Anahola.” The project includes a 6-MW lithium ion energy storage system manufactured by Saft. The system helps maintain grid stability by providing backup power when cloud cover diminishes the output of the island’s solar arrays. To control grass and weeds that grow between the panels, about 200 sheep roam the site, reducing the need for mowing. “Anahola is an important milestone toward our goal of using renewables to meet 50 percent of Kaua‘i’s energy needs by 2023,” said Jan TenBruggencate, chairman of the cooperative’s board of directors. “Using the sun to make electricity has multiple benefits. It reduces our members’ costs, stabilizes our rates, keeps dollars in the local economy and contributes to efforts to slow climate change.” TenBruggencate commended Mayor Bernard Carvalho Jr. and Kaua‘i’s legislative delegation—Sen. Ron Kouchi and Reps. Derek Kawakami, Jimmy Tokioka and Dee Morikawa—for advocating for the project, which will eliminate 1.7 million gallons of oil that are imported annually to generate electricity. By displacing oil-fired power generation, Anahola’s 59,000 solar panels also enable KIUC to reduce its carbon emissions by 18,000 tons a year. The Anahola solar facility is the second utility-scale solar project owned by KIUC. The cooperative’s 12-MW array in Kōloa went into service in September 2014. Solar now provides 17.5 percent of the electricity on Kaua‘i’s grid—the largest percentage of any utility in the U.S. SmartHub Easy Electric Account Access Available Now!

December 2015 17 Members and Community Kaua’i Celebrates Electric Vehicles By Pam Blair Myra VanOrnum Deyden and her husband, Paul, are passionate about sustainability and green living, including driving an electric-powered Nissan Leaf. “He is a one-man campaign for snowcoating roofs to lower the temperature in homes,” Myra Dyeden said, explaining the start of her husband’s quest. Paul’s next step was adding solar panels to the roof of their Kōloa home. That success led the couple to embrace an electric vehicle. “On my birthday in 2013 we ended up with the Leaf, and then added more panels to charge the Leaf,” Deyden said. “We are all about conserving resources. If we are not using something, the breaker is off.” To inspire others to travel a similar road, the Deydens served as team captains during the 5th annual National Drive Electric Week event Sept. 19 at Kukui Grove Center. Owners of a few of the 125 electric vehicles already in service on Kaua‘i displayed their rides. Kuhio Nissan and Aloha Kia brought in new models of the Leaf and the recently released electric Kia Soul for visitors to test ride and drive. Gordon Talbo and students with Kaua‘i Community College’s electric automotive technology program joined local supporters Kaua‘i Island Utility Cooperative and the County of Kaua‘i at the event, which attracted about 35 people. “Our goals for next year include having more attendees, having more fun things going on, having raffles and giveaways from the car dealers,” said Myra Deyden. “For our first year, it was good. The event fulfilled its purpose of getting people together and heightening awareness of electric vehicles.” Mayor Bernard P. Carvalho Jr. proclaimed Sept. 12-20 National Drive Electric Week. Organized nationally by the Sierra Club, Plug In America and the Electric Auto Association, National Drive 18 KIUC Currents Photo by Shelley Paik – KCC automotive technology professor Gordon Talbo talks to Myra VanOrnum Deyden about electric vehicles. Electric Week is designed to heighten awareness and understanding of EV technology and highlight the increasing availability, affordability, reliability and convenience of electric cars. Started in 2011 as National Plug In Day, the idea was simple: hold simultaneous events across the country on the same day. The celebration has expanded into an entire week of events, and the name was changed to emphasize driving electric. From Los Angeles to Oklahoma City, and Ontario to Hong Kong, more than 100,000 people were expected to attend some 180 events planned in more than 175 U.S. cities, 41 states and four countries. The national celebration was founded on the idea that nothing converts the drivers of gasoline-fueled cars to owners of electric vehicles faster than conversations with existing owners and ride-and-drives. “Lack of familiarity is a common obstacle to adoption of EV technology,” said Ben Sullivan, energy and sustainability manager for the county. Owners say EVs are fun to drive, less expensive and more convenient to fuel than gasoline vehicles, better for the environment, promote local jobs and reduce dependence on foreign oil. “There were a lot of great discussions that would otherwise not have taken place, so it was a success,” Sullivan said of this year’s event. “I met lots of people and learned how they want to contribute to our communitywide effort to go green.” Availability of more charging stations is a concern for electric vehicle owners on Kaua‘i. Sullivan said Līhu‘e has a good number of charging stations—the new Safeway complex added five—and Princeville has some. “We definitely need charging on the west side,” he said. “But we need to get organized as an EV community. We have limited resources. We have to be efficient.” Inside KIUC Statement of Operations For the period January 1, 2015, to October 31, 2015 By Karissa Jonas We are pleased to report results of Kaua‘i Island Utility Cooperative operations through October 31, 2015, are favorable. The Anahola solar farm is fully constructed and in full operation, providing renewable energy to KIUC. Year-to-date electricity use on the island is 0.6 percent lower than last year. Even with the decrease in sales volume, KIUC is doing everything it can—while maintaining safety and reliability—to reduce costs and operate efficiently and effectively, and continue to maintain a strong financial position. Revenues, expenses and net margins totaled $120.7 million, $114.1 million and $6.6 million, respectively, for the 10-month period ending October 31, 2015.
