Many folks with DG may pay very

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

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.

these topics, please email us at

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

better way than going off grid?
Utility-scale energy is complicated:

diesel, ratepaying, amperage, voltage
and anthropogenic climate change. I
have a hard time wrapping my head
around it all.

KIUC Currents
Members and Community
Time-of-Use Solar Pilot Program
Three hundred members have been
selected to participate in Kaua‘i Island
Utility Cooperative’s Time-of-Use Solar
Pilot Program. 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.

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.

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.

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.

Club, Plug In America and the Electric
Auto Association, National Drive

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.”

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.
As is the case for all electric utilities,
the cost of power generation is the
largest expense, totaling $67.1 million
or 55.6 percent of revenues.
Commodities—fuel and purchased
power costs—are the largest
component of power generation,
totaling $55.0 million or 45.6 percent
of revenues. Currently, fossil fuel is
the largest component of commodities,
totaling $43.5 million or 36.0 percent
of revenues. Other commodities
include hydropower, totaling $3.5
million or 2.9 percent of revenues;
solar power, totaling $7.4 million or
6.2 percent of revenues; and biomass,
totaling $0.6 million or 0.5 percent of
revenues.
The remaining $12.1 million or 10.0
percent of revenues represents the
cost of operating and maintaining the
generating units.
Operating and maintaining the
electric lines totaled $4.7 million or
3.9 percent of total revenues. Servicing

federal income taxes, state and local
taxes amounted to $10.2 million or 8.4
percent of revenues.
Interest on long-term debt, at a
favorable sub-5 percent interest rate,
totals $5.6 million or 4.7 percent of
revenues.
Nonoperating net margins added
$1.0 million to overall net margins.
Revenues less total expenses equal
margins of $6.6 million or 5.5 percent
of revenues. Margins are allocated to
consumer members and paid when
appropriate.
