HB 170-ENERGY INDEPENDENCE PROGRAM & FUND: AIDEA
3:22:39 PM
CO-CHAIR FIELDS announced that the next order of business would
be HOUSE BILL NO. 170, "An Act establishing the Alaska energy
independence program and the Alaska energy independence fund in
the Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority; and
providing for an effective date."
[Before the committee was CSHB 170(ENE).]
3:23:15 PM
ALAN WEITZNER, Executive Director, Alaska Industrial Development
and Export Authority (AIDEA), presented a PowerPoint titled
"Alaska Energy Independence Fund (AK EIF)." He began his
presentation on slide 2, which read as follows [original
punctuation provided]:
AIDEA'S MISSION
To promote, develop, and advance economic growth and
diversification in Alaska by providing various means
of financing and investment.
AIDEA OVERVIEW
bracerighttp Investing in Alaskans since 1967
bracerighttp Alaska's Development Finance Authority

bracerighttp Directed over $3 billion into economic development in
Alaska
MR. WEITZNER presented slide 3, "AIDEA AS 44.88," which read as
follows [original punctuation provided]:
WITHIN AS 44.88.010(a)(10)
It is in the public interest to promote the prosperity
and general welfare of all citizens of the state by:
(A) stimulating commercial and industrial growth and
expansion by encouraging an increase of private
investment by banks, investment houses, insurance
companies, and other financial institutions, including
pension and retirement funds, to help satisfy the need
for economic expansion;
(C) creating the Alaska Industrial Development and
Export Authority with the powers necessary to
accomplish the objectives stated in this paragraph,
including the power to issue taxable and taxexempt
bonds, to acquire ownership interests in projects, and
to provide development project financing?
WITHIN AS 44.88.010 (a)(11)
it is in the state's interest to import private
capital to create new economic activity that would not
otherwise take place in the state.
MR. WEITZNER presented slide 4, "AIDEA PROGRAMS + PROJECTS,"
which read as follows [original punctuation provided]:
club Loan Participation Program
club Conduit Revenue Bond Program

3:26:37 PM
MR. WEITZNER presented slide 5, "PROJECTS + ASSETS," which
displayed a map of Alaska showing the many communities in which
AIDEA operates on a day-to-day business. He then presented
slide 6, "AIDEA & AEA," which explained the partnership between
AIDEA and the Alaska Energy Authority (AEA) and which read as
follows [original punctuation provided]:
Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority
Mission: To promote, develop, and advance economic
growth and diversification in Alaska by providing
various means of financing and investment.
Alaska Energy Authority Mission: To reduce the cost of
energy in Alaska. AEA is Alaska's energy office and
lead agency for statewide energy policy and program
development.
The purpose and function of the AK EIF aligns with
AIDEA's existing scope establishing loan programs,
working with Alaska's financial sector and private
investors, as well as managing capital funds, such as
the Loan Participation Program (Enterprise Development
Account) and Development Project Financing (Economic
Development Account).
AIDEA would oversee loan programs and financial
management in partnership with AEA's energy and
technical subject matter expertise, leveraging
existing shared infrastructure and services.
An independent, five-person advisory board would
provide guidance on investment opportunities to AIDEA
and AEA. The advisory board's authority would not
supersede the governing authority of the AIDEA/AEA
Board.
MR. WEITZNER continued to slide 7, "TOTAL ENERGY CONSUMPTION PER
CAPITA, 2018 (million Btu)," which displayed a map of the United
State with Wyoming, North Dakota, Louisiana, Alaska, and Iowa
highlighted. He pointed out that Alaska ranks number 4 in the
nation for per capita energy consumption with 830 million
British thermal units (MMBtu) and that there is a significant
decrease in energy consumption between Alaska' position at
number 4 and Iowa's position at number 5 with 513 MMBtu. He
explained that Alaska has unique energy requirements for winter
heating as well as energy-intensive industries.
3:31:32 PM
REPRESENTATIVE MCCARTY asked why Louisiana has an energy
consumption on par with the colder states.
MR. WEITZNER replied that Louisiana's energy consumption is due
to its large industrial capacity.
3:32:00 PM
MR. WEITZNER resumed his PowerPoint presentation with slide 8,
"TOTAL ENERGY EXPENDITURES PER CAPITA, 2018 (U.S. dollars),"
which displayed the same map of the United States and a chart
showing that Alaska ranks third in per capita energy
expenditures at $8,060 which, he pointed out, is nearly twice
the national average. He said that approximately 11 percent of
Alaska's gross domestic product (GDP) goes to energy
expenditures. With the creation of the Alaska Energy
Independence Fund (AEIF) and focusing on the per capita cost of
energy, he said, marginal changes have a greater impact than in
other states; benefits may be added to the renewable energy
sector by employing the best practices from other states,
thereby positively effecting economic opportunities and job
growth.
3:33:27 PM
CO-CHAIR FIELDS asked whether the cost of energy includes that
consumed by transportation sector.
MR. WEITZNER replied that it includes all energy consumption
across the state.
3:34:12 PM
MORGAN NEFF, Chief Investment Officer, Alaska Industrial
Development and Export Authority, continued the PowerPoint
presentation and explained the Alaska Energy Independence Fund
(AEIF), sharing that committee members may have heard the term
"green bank." He presented slide 9, "WHAT IS THE AK EIF?",
which read as follows [original punctuation provided]:
club The Alaska Energy Independence Fund (AK EIF) serves
a public purpose in meeting the unique energy needs of
Alaska to promote sustainable clean energy projects
through loan programs.
club Often referred to as a "green bank", the AK EIF
functions as a public-private entity that uses modest
amounts of public funding to leverage private capital
to accelerate investment in clean energy projects.
club AK EIF meets the criteria to receive and manage
funds anticipated to become available through pending
federal legislation.
MR. NEFF presented slide 10, "INITIAL CAPITALIZATION + FUNDING,"
which read as follows [original punctuation provided]:
club Proposed initial capitalization: $10 million
appropriation from State of Alaska UGF with an
anticipated federal match.
MR. NEFF explained the table on slide 10, which displayed the
fiscal notes for initial capitalization and the operating
budgets for green banks in New York, Connecticut, and Montgomery
County, Maryland. He stressed that each green bank has a
leverage ratio of between 6:1 and 8:1, which means that for
every dollar of green bank capital, there are between 6 and 8
dollars of private sector capital invested. In Connecticut, he
pointed out, $36 million in state capital combined with private
sector capital for a total of $312 million invested in enhanced
energy efficiency programs.
3:38:21 PM
CO-CHAIR FIELDS commented that Connecticut's green bank has
ongoing cash infusions and asked Mr. Neff whether New York and
Montgomery County, Maryland, have similar ongoing infusions.
MR. NEFF responded that they do; there are infusions through
property taxes and the states have ratepayer structures.
MR. WEITZNER interjected that Montgomery County's green bank was
initially set up through a direct capital appropriation.
CO-CHAIR FIELDS asked whether there exist other options for
continual infusions to a green bank.
MR. NEFF replied that federal appropriations and philanthropic
donations have historically increased in proportion to the
amount in the green bank.
3:40:05 PM
MR. NEFF resumed the PowerPoint presentation on slide 11,
"ECONOMIC BENEFITS OF THE AK EIF," which read as follows
[original punctuation provided]:
Lower Cost of Energy
Lower Cost of Living
Create Jobs
Create Businesses
Increase Discretionary Income
MR. NEFF presented slide 12, "ECONOMIC BENEFITS OF THE AK EIF,"
which read as follows [original punctuation provided]:
$8,060
Average annual cost of energy per Alaskan
Create AK EIF
Modest public funds + private investment in clean
energy
10%
$806 average annual energy savings per Alaskan
20%
$1,612 average annual energy savings per Alaskan
30%
$2,418 average annual energy savings per Alaskan
Injects Hundreds of Millions of Dollars into Alaska's
Economy
Frees up approx. $589 million to $1.7 billion in
discretionary spending every year
3:42:41 PM
MR. WEITZNER pointed out that the figures are net revenues
compounded annually.
3:43:08 PM
MR. NEFF continued the PowerPoint with slide 13, "NATIONAL
"GREEN BANK" AND ACCELERATOR," which read as follows [original
punctuation provided]:
H.R. 806 Clean Energy and Sustainability Accelerator
Act
S.283 National Climate Bank Act
club Congress has introduced the Accelerator Act that
would form a national "green bank" capitalized with
$100 billion
club Bipartisan co-sponsors, including Alaska Rep.
Don Young.
club If/when passed, these acts would provide investment
and operational capital.
club Creation of the AK EIF would allow Alaska to
receive additional investment and operational
capital for a "green bank".
club The Clean Energy and Sustainability Accelerator is
part of the Biden Administration's American Jobs Plan
("The Infrastructure Bill").
3:44:21 PM
CO-CHAIR FIELDS shared his support for CSHB 170(ENE), and he
asked how AIDEA, AEA, and the state would deal with potential
federal funds from the infrastructure bill if corresponding
green bank legislation was not passed by the state legislature.
MR. WEITZNER responded that, while AIDEA and AEA have powers to
receive federal funding, it's unclear how it would be addressed.
He shared that it's the purpose of the program to have the
authority to establish and receive funding for the underlying
programs, characterizing such authority as the "critical issue."
3:45:23 PM
MR. NEFF continued the PowerPoint presentation with slide 14,
"ALASKA ENERGY INDEPENDENCE FUND (AK EIF)," which read as
follows [original punctuation provided]:
Overview
"An Act creating the Alaska energy independence fund
in the Alaska Industrial Development and Export
Authority; and providing for an effective date."
club Make capital more accessible to borrowers for
sustainable energy development projects.
club Partner with private capital to fund businesses and
projects, including energy-efficiency, renewable
power, micro-grid, transportation, sustainable
agriculture, and more.
club Incentivize co-investment in the non-fossil fuel
energy sector between the public (the State of Alaska
through AIDEA in partnership with Alaska Energy
Authority), Alaska's financial sector, private
investors, and philanthropic donors.
club AK EIF bill aligns with the proposed federal bills,
including the new definition of "sustainable energy
development".
MR. NEFF presented slide 15, "ALASKA ENERGY INDEPENDENCE FUND
(AK EIF)," which read as follows [original punctuation
provided]:
Financing + Investments
club The Fund would leverage its capital alongside
Alaska's financial sector to enhance total investment
in Alaskan clean energy programs and projects.
club Eligible to make loans, provide credit enhancement
structures, purchase loans, provide development
funding and other forms of financing for sustainable
energy development in Alaska's commercial,
residential, and industrial market sectors.
club The Fund would consist of appropriations made by the
legislature, loans or other assets transferred to the
Fund by AIDEA, unrestricted loan payments, interest,
or other income earned on loans, investments or assets
of the fund, and available federal funding.
3:48:59 PM
MR. NEFF presented slide 16, "PROGRAM WORKFLOW," which displayed
a graphic showing funds moving from AK EIF to a contractor, who
then distributes funds as cash payments to homeowners, business
owners, and municipalities to be used for clean energy
installation; AK EIG simultaneously establishes partnerships
with lenders to build demand. Tools such as loan loss reserves,
aggregation, securitization, credit enhancement, first-in-kind
investments, and direct loans mitigate the risk for lenders.
MR. NEFF presented slide 17, "ALASKA ENERGY INDEPENDENCE FUND
(AK EIF)," which read as follows [original punctuation
provided]:
Functions of the Fund
The AK EIF prioritizes affordable, local, reliable,
sustainable, and independent energy.
MR. NEFF pointed out the barriers to investment which include
perceived project risk, inefficiencies of scale, first-in-kind
transactions, and marginal economics, along with their
corresponding solutions: credit enhancement, aggregation and
warehousing, technical assistance, and co-investment.
3:52:27 PM
CHRIS ROSE, Executive Director, Renewable Energy Alaska Project
(REAP), shared REAP's support of HB 170 and gave a PowerPoint
presentation titled "Financing Clean Energy in Alaska." He
presented slide 2, which read as follows [original punctuation
provided]:

4:02:47 PM
BERT HUNTER, Chief Investment Officer, Connecticut Green Bank,
presented a PowerPoint, titled "Overview of the Connecticut
Green Bank," in support of HB 170. He began his presentation
with slide 2, "About Us," which read as follows [original
punctuation provided]:
? Quasi-public organization Created in 2011 and
successor to the Connecticut Clean Energy Fund.
? Focus Finance clean energy (i.e. renewable energy,
energy efficiency, energy storage, alternative fuel
vehicles and infrastructure, etc.).
? Balance Sheet Approx $77m net position & $213m
assets FY20
? Revenue & Funding from a variety of sources,
including:
State Support $0.001/kWh surcharge on
electric ratepayer bills (about $7-$10 per
household per year ˜ $24-26M per year) and
Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative about $3-5M
per year (for renewable energy)
Federal Support competitive solicitations
(e.g., SunShot, USDA, etc.) and non-competitive
resources (e.g., ARRA-SEP)
Portfolio Cash Flow Approx $8M / year
Bonds & Borrowing issue "green liberty
bonds," bank loan facilities, tax equity
investors, and foundations (e.g., PRI's)
4:06:03 PM
CO-CHAIR FIELDS asked how much money came from the initial
capitalization versus the sources of revenue which have since
become ongoing.
MR. HUNTER answered that approximately $70 million was inherited
from the clean energy fund, with the balance coming from the
system benefit charges. He stated that total assets are
currently $215 to $220 million, with $180 million in
investments.
4:07:02 PM
MR. HUNTER presented slide 3, "Board of Directors," which showed
members appointed by the governor and legislative leaders, and
includes members from the Department of Energy and Environment
Protection, the Department of Economic and Community
Development, and the Office of the Treasurer. He said board
meetings are open to the public and he invited the committee
members to attend the next meeting.
MR. HUNTER presented slide 4, "Our focus," which read as follows
[original punctuation provided]:
? create affordable long-term, sustainable financing
? energy efficiency and clean energy (solar, hydro,
wind)
? support residential, commercial, industrial +
government (Muni / State) sectors
? leverage private sector capital
MR. HUNTER presented slide 5, "How Green Banks Leverage Public
Capital with More Private Capital (methodologies?)," which
displayed graphics explaining how green banks work. He said the
market is incentivized through co-investment, credit support or
enhancement to mitigate some of the risk assumed by private
capital, and warehousing to aggregate smaller projects. He then
presented slide 6, "How Green Banks Leverage Public Capital with
More Private Capital (our current programs/products?)," which
displayed graphics showing various programs. The company
PosiGen, he said, is an energy efficiency company that focuses
on single family homes; through a "novel" credit assessment
technique the company is able to reach low to moderate income
families and reduce their energy burden by $800-$1000 per year.
The "smart-e loan" program, he said, works with community banks
and credit unions to offer a loss reserve intended to mitigate
losses due to energy efficiency loans. In warehousing, he said,
direct loans can be made to commercial properties in the "c-
pace" program, in which transactions are aggregated and
securitized; the program then issues bonds against the pool of
transactions.
4:11:32 PM
MR. HUNTER presented slide 7, "Statewide EE Programs working
with our energy utilities?," which displayed pictures of workers
at electric utilities to indicate that the program works closely
with electric utilities. He then presented slide 8, "Green Bank
Clean Energy Aggregate Investment by Source - Public and
Private," which displayed a bar graph showing how investment
increased rapidly in the early years and has increased every
year since 2012.
4:12:35 PM
REPRESENTATIVE SCHRAGE said that Alaska's green bank proposal
would require substantial funds from the state to show "proof of
concept" and he noted that the Connecticut Green Bank was able
to avoid using state funds by instantly leveraging private
capital. He asked why Alaska would require additional state
funding.
MR. HUNTER explained that Connecticut's program purposefully
avoided fully financing any transaction in order to demonstrate
bank and credit union participation. He said that it was very
important to have a starting capital position in order to get
attention from the banks.
REPRESENTATIVE SCHRAGE commented that it sounds as if state
funding was initially required, and that financial institution
and private investors were eager to get involved.
MR. HUNTER replied, "That's correct." He then discussed a case
in which an energy services agreement on college campuses was
handled completely by the green bank without other capital.
4:16:24 PM
MR. HUNTER resumed his PowerPoint presentation with slide 9,
"Connecticut Green Bank Impact Investment Social and
Environmental," and explained that the program has generated
nearly $100 million in state tax revenues from individual,
corporate, and sales taxes, and has helped create over 23,000
job-years while reducing the energy burden on 55,000 families
and businesses through the deployment of clean energy. He said
that the program has helped avoid the emission of 9 million
metric tons of greenhouse gasses. He then presented slide 10,
"Connecticut Green Bank Balance Sheet Evolution," which
displayed pie charts comparing the different types of assets in
2012 and 2020. Slide 11, "Connecticut Green Bank Balance Sheet
Evolution," showed pie charts demonstrating the project types in
which the green bank has invested.
MR. HUNTER presented slide 12, "Connecticut Green Bank
Counterparties Organization overview," which displayed an
organizational chart showing the use of subsidiaries and single-
member limited liability companies (LLCs), in which the single
member is the green bank.
4:19:43 PM
REPRESENTATIVE SCHRAGE asked whether the green bank has utilized
limited liability partnerships. He also asked whether Mr.
Hunter had an opinion on whether the Alaska energy independence
fund would be negatively affected due to the inability to create
limited liability partnerships.
MR. HUNTER pointed out two LLC subsidiaries and said that LLCs
with multiple members used to be called partnerships, but now
they're simply LLCs with two members, one of which is a managing
member. He pointed out that the structure is used to "wall off"
protections for investors.
4:21:59 PM
MR. HUNTER presented slide 13, "Public-Private Partnerships
>$800 Million1 in Private Capital Raised (5 Years)," which
displayed many different companies from small credit unions to
billion-dollar private equity firms. He said this slide is to
show that a small state such as Connecticut can attract capital
and that the investor market is interested in the activities
undertaken by the green bank. He then presented slide 14,
"Green Liberty Bonds http://www.greenlibertybonds.com/," and he
encouraged community members to visit the investor relations
website. He presented slide 15, "Connecticut Green Bank Bond
Awards," which read as follows [original punctuation provided]:
? The Green Bank won two Environmental Finance Bond
awards in 2020. The awards were judged by an
independent panel comprising 30 of the world's largest
green, social and sustainability bond investors
? The Green Bank also won the Bond Buyer Innovative
Deal of the Year Award. The Deal of the Year awards
recognize innovation in municipal finance and
represent the full diversity of the communities and
public purposes that are served by the municipal
finance market.
MR. HUNTER said that he feels the Connecticut Green Bank has
paved the way for other green banks to successfully enter the
market.
4:23:34 PM
REPRESENTATIVE NELSON asked what restrictions the state placed
on the Connecticut Green Bank at its inception.
MR. HUNTER replied, "Very few, actually, but that's because the
state looked to our board to make sure we were staying in line
with the legislation." He said the Connecticut Green Bank makes
annual reports to the legislature and is audited by a public
accounting firm.
REPRESENTATIVE NELSON noted the growth of the green bank and
asked whether Mr. Hunter believes the fund would have had such
growth if there had been many state-imposed restrictions.
MR. HUNTER responded that one of the reasons for the fund's
success is that it has been "nimble" and responsive to the
community. He noted that out of a $180 million portfolio and
$200 million in transactions, losses have been approximately
$200,000.
4:26:19 PM
JEFFERY SCHUB, Executive Director, Coalition for Green Capital,
presented a PowerPoint in support of HB 170 titled, "Alaska
Energy Independence Fund Proven Model & National Perspective."
He began his presentation on slide 2, "CGC is nonprofit expert
on public clean energy finance institutions that leverage
private capital," which read as follows [original punctuation
provided]:
? Mission to mobilize private capital in order to
accelerate clean energy deployment, lower energy costs
and expand access
? Partner with governments, market actors, capital
providers, and NGOs to design and launch public clean
energy finance entities
? Delivered technical assistance in over a dozen
states, multiple countries, leading to over $5B of new
investment
? Team of nearly 20 experts working around the country
MR. SCHUB presented slide 3, "EIF model proven in other states;
$5B+ investment; lower energy costs, new jobs, and focus on
underserved," which displayed graphics showing the level of
collective investment from green bank institutions across the
country, totaling approximately $5 billion through 2019, with a
3:1 private to public leverage ratio. He said that taking 2020
into account would bring the fund to $7 billion, as green banks
had record-breaking years of investment in 2020 despite the
COVID-19 crisis. He noted that many of the green banks across
the country focus on the underserved or rural communities that
are often excluded from transitions to clean energy, suffer from
unreliable power sources, or experience burdens from higher
electricity bills. He then presented slide 4, "Model quickly
spreading across the country irrespective of politics - state-
specific entities for state-specific needs," which displayed a
map of the United States showing states with existing green
banks, states with green banks in development, and states with
green banks to be formed.
4:29:31 PM
MR. SCHUB proceeded to slide 5, "Last year CGC analyzed
opportunity in Anchorage; potential starting point for EIF, but
needs are broader," which read as follows [original punctuation
provided]:
? Found significant investment need & opportunity
? Focus on small-scale solar generation, residential
heating and electric efficiency, and commercial
building upgrades via C-PACE financing.
? AK EIF can address these needs, complement existing
activity, and fill gaps not currently served by
lenders due to small project size, a lack of dedicated
clean energy lending capital, or lender risk
assumptions
MR SCHUB presented slide 6, "Bipartisan leg for national
"Accelerator" to fund orgs like EIF co-sponsored by Rep Young,
endorsed by President," and he said that the federal government
is close to enacting complementary federal policy specifically
to provide new capital to the Alaska Energy Independence Fund
and projects like it. The Clean Energy and Sustainability
Accelerator, a $100 billion national green bank with bipartisan
support, would fund state entities. He said the legislation has
passed the U.S. House of Representatives twice in the past year,
and President Joe Biden's American Jobs Plan expressly noted the
accelerator. He then presented slide 7, "Funds would flow to
and through EIF & join private capital to fund businesses, build
projects, serve communities," showing that areas such as
renewable power, buildings, transportation, and industry would
be eligible for investment.
MR. SCHUB presented slide 8, "Investment would target
disadvantaged, underserved communities to reduce energy costs,
support economies," which read as follows [original punctuation
provided]:
Create Jobs
New Businesses
Lower Household Energy Burden
Improved Public Health
Example Investments
? Affordable financing for households to improve
energy efficiency, comfort
? Work with native communities to increase local
renewable power generation, paired with battery
storage
? Build out microgrids to make communities more
resilient
MR. SCHUB pointed out that there are no green banks in the
country that have a statutory requirement in their forming
documents for investment in underserved communities; however, he
said, nearly all of them, through management and strategic
decisions, have chosen to prioritize underserved sectors.
Funding from Clean Energy and Sustainability Accelerator would
be a way of ensuring that the Alaska Energy Independence Fund
would invest in underserved communities, he said, with the
condition applied to the funding instead of to the institution.
4:34:30 PM
REPRESENTATIVE NELSON asked Mr. Weitzner, from the Alaska
Industrial Development and Export Authority (AIDEA), for his
opinion on the amendments to HB 170 that were passed during
previous meetings of the House Special Committee on Energy [in
CSHB 170(ENE)].
MR. WEITZNER discussed amendments adopted to HB 170 during the
April 20, 2021, meeting of the House Special Committee on
Energy. An amendment regarding the establishment of the
"Alaska energy independence program advisory board" and the
position AIDEA would be in with the passage of the proposed
legislation, he said, would "burden" the proposed legislation.
He suggested that the amendment doesn't address the
constitutional issues between the legislative and executive
branches. He said that Amendment 1 would present an issue
because the fund's purpose would be to act as a financial entity
rather than to implement energy policy, which would be more
appropriate within consideration of the regulations to be
adopted. He then addressed Amendment 11, which would require 35
percent of loans or other forms of financing to be made in
communities that receive, or have residents who receive, power
cost equalization, pointing out that effective green banks have
been structured to have flexibility in programs and funding
direction. He said that the advisory board would include
members of such communities and that the board would have the
flexibility to implement programs with the specific criteria
provided by the amendment.
REPRESENTATIVE NELSON opined that if HB 170 were to pass it
wouldn't have the same "flourish" as the Connecticut Green Bank
due to the legislative restrictions.
MR. NEFF responded, "That is correct." He suggested that if
Amendment 11 mandated that 65 percent of funds be reserved for
power cost equalization communities, the same comments would
apply. He said that broad-based flexibility is needed to adapt
to Alaska's specific needs.
[HB 170 was held over.]
SB 69-EXEMPT RENEWABLE ENERGY ELECTRIC PLANTS
4:39:29 PM
CO-CHAIR FIELDS announced that the next order of business would
be SENATE BILL NO. 69, "An Act extending an exemption from
regulation as a public utility for plants and facilities
generating electricity entirely from renewable energy resources;
and providing for an effective date."
4:39:52 PM
DIRK CRAFT, Staff, Senator Josh Revak, Alaska State Legislature,
presented SB 69 on behalf of Senator Revak, prime sponsor. He
explained that the proposed legislation would extend the
exemption from July 1, 2021, to July 1, 2028, for power plants
that utilize renewable resources. He noted Alaska is
experiencing increasing private investment in the development of
renewable energy and that since 2010 Alaska has exempted certain
independent power producers (IPPs) from regulation under the
Regulatory Commission of Alaska (RCA), which is responsible for
certifying utilities, regulating rates, resolving disputes, and
protecting customers. Exemptions were available to IPPs that
meet four criteria: they generate electricity entirely from
renewable energy, the facility is under 65 megawatts, they sell
power only to a regulated public utility, and the project
doesn't receive state tax credits or grants. The extra layer of
regulation can prevent IPPs from providing investment while
adding to the cost of government; exempting IPPs under such
narrow conditions ensures that there isn't costly duplicative
regulation. He said that consumers are protected due RCA
consideration of the public purchase agreements between IPPs and
public utilities; therefore, he said, the exemption through SB
69 would continue state oversight in power purchase agreements
and consumer protection.
MR. CRAFT pointed out that an amendment from the Senate Floor
made two small changes in the text of SB 69. He said that an
additional reference to the electrical reliability organization
(ERO) statute was made to clarify that the regulatory exemption
under AS 42.05.711(r) does not apply to the applicable ERO-
related regulations under AS 42.05.760 to AS 42.05.790, which
were authorized under Senate Bill 123 during the Thirty-First
Alaska State Legislature. He also noted that the sunset date
was reduced to seven years.
4:42:10 PM
JENN MILLER, Chief Executive Officer, Renewable Independent
Power Producers ("Renewable IPP"), testified in support of SB
69. She said Renewable IPP is an Alaskan small business that
develops, builds, and operates utility-scale solar farms like
the Willow Solar Farm. She explained that an IPP is a private
entity that owns and operates a power generation site such as a
solar or wind farm; the IPP connects to the power grid and sells
power to the utilities at wholesale prices. For example, she
said, the Willow Solar Farm sells power to the Matanuska
Electric Association (MEA) for 8 cents per kilowatt hour while
the retail rate is approximately 18 cents per kilowatt hour.
She noted that MEA operates the infrastructure of the power
grid. She said the IPP model allows private investment to fund
projects, thereby allowing investors to take on the risk of the
project and subsequently introduce competition to the
cooperative model of power generation. She said that the
Houston Solar Farm is approximately seven times larger than the
Willow Solar Farm and with the addition of the Houston project,
the solar capacity of the state will almost double. She said
the Houston project commenced by identifying the location and
then approached MEA to work on technical studies regarding
infrastructure and the feasibility of being able to tie in to
the grid. The IPP worked with MEA on a power purchase agreement
and when MEA and the IPP agreed on a pricing model, she said,
the contract went to the Regulatory Commission of Alaska (RCA)
for review and approval. She pointed out that the function of
RCA is to ensure fairness and public interest. Upon RCA
approval, she said, the project may be built and start
generating power.
4:46:59 PM
MS. MILLER said that SB 69 would remove a layer of additional
oversight; in the absence of the exemption under the proposed
legislation the IPP would be required to file a quarterly report
with RCA, which would require additional legal and professional
staff to support the filings. She pointed out that the reason
why the absence of exemption equates to duplicative regulation
is that RCA already approved the contract between the IPP and
the utility, MEA; the utility already files a quarterly report
on the amount of energy produced by the IPP and how much the
utility paid for it. Duplicative regulation increases the
overhead of IPP projects and costs money for RCA. She said that
private investors look at opportunities across the country; as
Alaska's requirement for such oversight is unique in the U.S.,
the exemption would put Alaska's IPPs on a level playing field
with other power producers across the country when it comes to
attracting private investment. She pointed out that wind and
solar installation are two of the fastest-growing occupations in
Alaska and an exemption under SB 69 would increase economic
opportunities.
4:49:45 PM
CO-CHAIR FIELDS commented that battery storage is used in
smaller communities, and he asked whether the economics of such
storage are becoming more favorable for larger communities.
MS. MILLER replied that the cost of battery storage is
decreasing each year.
4:50:49 PM
REPRESENTATIVE MCCARTY asked whether the proposed legislation is
fair to large companies.
MR. CRAFT explained that when the proposed legislation was first
introduced during the Twenty-Sixth Alaska State Legislature, the
intention was to identify newer sources of renewable energy;
large projects are usually generated by utilities, while small
IPPs are not classified as utilities but are selling power
wholesale to the public utilities. The intention of SB 69, he
said, is to create certainty in the regulatory environment to
attract private investment.
REPRESENTATIVE MCCARTY asked how selling energy to utilities at
a lower wholesale price translates to savings for consumers.
MR. CRAFT said he would send price information.
4:53:04 PM
CO-CHAIR FIELDS asked Ms. Miller to talk about the cost per
kilowatt hour for the IPP versus the cost a homeowner may
experience with a rooftop solar power installation.
MS. MILLER replied that solar power is currently sold for 7.8
cents per kilowatt hour, and future projects should have lower
prices. Residential solar panel owners are allowed to offset
their electricity bills by their solar power production at the
full retail rate of 18 cents per kilowatt hour, she said, and
the payback time for residential solar systems is approximately
10 years.
4:55:05 PM
REPRESENTATIVE NELSON asked what the worst case scenario would
be if SB 69 fails to pass.
MR. CRAFT replied that Ms. Miller's small IPP would have to
start hiring staff, at substantial cost, to prepare for the
quarterly filings to RCA.
REPRESENTATIVE NELSON asked, "So it would start closing up some
of the smaller shops around Alaska and give more regulations?"
MR. CRAFT responded yes, the regulations would go into effect
and IPPs would need to plan to make quarterly filings and
evaluate the cost and how it could affect the financing of a
power project.
[SB 69 was held over.]
^CONFIRMATION HEARING(S):
CONFIRMATION HEARING(S):
^Board of Direct Entry Midwives
Board of Direct Entry Midwives
4:56:53 PM
CO-CHAIR FIELDS announced that the final order of business would
be the confirmation hearing for consideration of the governor's
appointee to the Board of Direct Entry Midwives.
4:57:03 PM
TANYA KIRK, Appointee, Board of Direct Entry Midwives, said she
has lived in Alaska for 30 years and is a registered nurse and
nurse midwife at Anchorage Women's Clinic. She described
noticing the differences between nurse midwives and direct entry
midwives when she was working as a hospitalist and said she
feels that women should be able to choose where they give birth.
She said she wants to be on the board so that she can help women
and the direct entry midwives who care for them.
[The confirmation hearing resumed on 4/28/21.]
