REF: Little St. James Island
RENEWABLE ENERGY PRODUCTION PROPOSAL
Dear Ms. Brennan:
Toshiba International Corporation ("Toshiba") is proud to provide this preliminary proposal to
evaluate and develop a renewable energy production system for island of Little St. James. Per
our discussions we have provided you with four different options. Two of which will allow you
to permanently isolate yourself from the WAPA grid, one being a total "green" solution the
other utilizing your existing backup generation to provide the balance of power. We have also
provided two solar only options that will allow you to save energy costs from those facilities
when the solar resource is available, however, the balance of power will be provided from
WAPA at their then current costs.
Regrettably, the 100% "green power" solution requires significant additional capital cost to
address energy storage requirements, however, over the longer term could result in being the
most economical solution.
Toshiba is a market leader in the development, installation and operations of fossil, nuclear and
renewable energy power plants worldwide. We have developed and installed power plants as
small as a few hundred kilowatts up to and exceeding 1,500 MWs. Our innovative power and
electronic products along with our conservative design approach has yielded consistent
customer satisfaction.
It will be important for you as the customer of this project to choose a provider that has not
only the experience and capabilities to ensure your system functions as designed but also has
the financial wherewithal to stand behind each project we install. TIC has already installed the
largest commercial PV system in the Virgin Islands for a big box retailer and is currently in the
process of implementing a utility scale solar PV project for WAPA on the island of St. Croix.

Leading Innovation >>> Solar Photovoltaic & Energy Storage Proposal
Executive Summary
Toshiba International Corporation ("Toshiba") has prepared the following high level overview of
several different renewable energy production options for Little Saint James Island in the USVI.
The options are as follows:
1. Solar under WAPA's Net Metering Program — Install a 100 kWAc solar photovoltaic
system, remain connected to WAPA's grid and purchase all additional power at WAPA's
published rates.
2. Solar to meet the average maximum daily kilowatt demand (kW) with exporting power
to the grid — Install a 200 kWAc solar photovoltaic system, remain connected to WAPA's
grid and purchase all additional power at WAPA's published rates. Note that this option
may not be feasible without the approval of WAPA due to the fact that this option
exceeds WAPA's Net Metering Program and has potential to export power to the grid.
3. Solar to meet the maximum daily kilowatt hours (kWhs) required to power the island
continuously for 24 hours — Install a 500 kWAc solar Photovoltaic System along with 200
kW4c, (1,998 kWhAc) of battery storage and disconnect from WAPA's grid. Use the
existing diesel generators only in emergency or backup situations whenever the solar or
battery systems are not delivering the required power to meet island's energy needs.
This provides the island with a 100% green power solution.
4. Solar to meet the average maximum daily kilowatt demand (kW) and run the existing
diesel generators as supplemental power — Install a 200 KWAc solar photovoltaic system
and disconnect from WAPA's grid. The existing diesel generators will be required to run
whenever the solar system is not delivering the required power needs of the island. The
island will however be subject to future and volatile fluctuations in the market supply
and price of diesel fuel.
The contemplated solar
generation systems being
evaluated will ideally be located in
the southern end of the island
away from any existing structures.
Final location and layout of the
array will be determined upon
option selection and during the
detailed project development and
engineering phase of this project.
The proposed maximum area
required for the largest solar
system (700 kWoc) is
approximately 2-3 acres.

Preliminary Project Economics
Toshiba has developed this prelimiary project's economic analysis using budgetary information and very
basicbasisc pricing models. None of the preliminary ecomonics include any dollars for long term
component replacement, insurance or cost of capital.
In evaluating theses options it is important to not only look at first costs (simple payback) but also to
understand the long term costs to operate and maintain these systems and supply fuel over a period of
20 to 30 years. In all options below there are additional capital costs for either interconnection to the
WAPA grid for a partial solar solution, or computerized control systems for a 100% off-grid solution that
must be contemplated over the cost of the basic solar system itself. Our analysis shows that all of
these new systems should bring down the average cost of a kilowatt hour to between 30 and 40 cents.
Presently, option 3 which inlcudes the largest solar system with battery storage technology is slightly
above 40 cents per kilowatt hour but we believe that this number will decrease if we go to a mix of
different battery technologies.

Next Steps
The next step would be to select one or two options to evaluate. This evaluation and detailed
design phase is estimated to cost $120,000 and can be started immediately. It will include site
visits to examine the existing equipment and determine the actual and projected island
electricity demand and consumption. Once these systems are evaluated and this data is
collected it will be used to size the systems. The design will include all of the equipment and
controls needed to construct a fully automated renewable energy power plant. At the
conclusion of the detailed evaluation and design phase, the results will be presented to LS1
along with the updated costs to install, operate and maintain the systems. Should you select
Toshiba to implement either one of the options listed above the design fee above will be
waived as it has been incorporated into the capital costs for each option.
Preliminary System Overview
Based upon the option selected by LSJ, Toshiba will evaluate and design a ground mounted
solar photovoltaic generating plant and if applicable a battery energy storage system utilizing
fixed tilt mono- or poly- crystalline solar modules and lithium ion or other similar battery
storage technology.
Facility Description
The PV system will be located on the south end of the island away from any existing structures
and will comprise no more than 2-3 acres of land. The location of the energy storage battery
cells and their associated charge controllers has yet to be determined, but will most likely be
located near the existing distribution control room building.

Leading Innovation >>> Solar Photovoltaic & Energy Storage Proposal
Toshiba Team's Photovoltaic Experience
The Toshiba Photovoltaic Team's experience includes the following representative projects that
have been completed and are in operation:
Solar Project til: Industrial Facility
Build, Own and Operate solar power system in accordance with a
PPA. The solar PV system consists of both solid crystalline panels
and flexible thin-film panels — installed 2,100 Solar World 175 W
crystalline panels, and 92,000 square feet of flexible thin-film
material. The total system output is 1,000 kW and annual energy
produced by this system is approximately 1,100,000 kWh.
The electricity generated was sold to the customer under a 20-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA).
PPAs allow customers to reduce or completely avoid up-front capital costs. Estimated reduction in
electricity costs of approximately 30%.
Federal tax credits and the value of Renewable Energy Credits were utilized to provide this renewable
solution.
Solar Project #2: State Government Facility
This solar system involved the installation of both crystalline and thin
film panels on the roof of the building and nearby grounds. The 294
kW system includes 1,488 Solar World 175W crystalline solar panels
as well as 5,522 sq ft of Uni-Solar thin film PV panels. The total
output of the system is approximately 300 kW and the annual output
is approximately 399,000 kWh. The system offsets 50% of the
facility's total power needs.
The PV system provides 50% of customer's annual electric needs.
Power is sold to customer under a 15 year Power Purchase Agreement. Tax credits and Renewable
Energy Credits were utilized to provide this renewable solution.
