Before email and the Internet, corporate headquarters required a steady stream of paper reports and updates from Kaua‘i. These reports sometimes included photos of ongoing utility work as well as construction of homes, resorts and commercial enterprises that represented sales opportunities for the electric company. Much of that documentary work fell to Tad Eto, a camera buff and former newsman. Officially, he was the utility’s industrial relations manager, but he spent much of his time shooting pictures and tracking down items for the company newsletter, which he typed up, laid out and distributed by hand. 5 “He was at heart an old-school journalist and loved documenting everything about Kauai Electric with his set of Olympus SLR bodies, lenses and filters,” recalled Ed Nakaya, KIUC’s key accounts executive, who once shared office space with Eto at the old KE office in Eleele. “He seemed to have an open account at Senda Photo at the corner of Hardy and Akahi streets to have his prints developed. And, of course, he had his one-of-a-kind, wide- carriage, smallcharacter manual typewriter that he pecked on with his two-handed, onefinger style.” 6 7 8 10 9 11 12 MARCH 2014 7 Eto meticulously kept a numbering system for hundreds of envelopes filled mostly with negatives, but the master key to his system has yet to be discovered, meaning we may never know what the envelopes bearing the numbers 432 or 126 contain. Hundreds of loose, unlabeled photos from the 1970s through the 1990s capture everything from retirement parties to storm repairs. And then there are the unlabeled slides stored in old carousels—an ingenious projector system sold by Kodak in the 1960s. Whether these carousels contain historical society gold or documentation of a diesel generator overhaul in 1972 is yet to be determined. We hope you enjoy these photos.

Have your bill or account number handy. Click on the “Create an Account” link at the top right of the screen. Fill in your account number, registration code (normally the last four digits of your Social Security number), an email address for delivery of information about your MyMeter account and your name exactly as it appears on your billing statement. You will select a secret question and choose a password. You also can register using Facebook, LinkedIn or Google. If you want to compare your use to similar households, fill out the property profile. It will ask questions about the number of rooms in your house, and the appliances and lighting you typically use. Customers with multiple accounts can add additional accounts to their profile. If you have questions about your energy use or bill, KIUC Member Services Representatives can log in to MyMeter at the same time to view your account and walk you through the process. Many Mainland cooperatives with smart meters use the MyMeter platform. Iowa Lakes Electric Cooperative introduced it to their members in late 2010. “It’s not only been a great tool for our members, but it has been a great resource for our customer care and member service teams,” said Amy Howard of Iowa Lakes Electric Cooperative. “When a high bill complaint comes in, we refer to MyMeter to review the member’s daily and monthly usage. Many times we will find a day or two when a member used lots of kilowatt-hours and the member can trace that back to a party, colder/warmer temps, etc.” This member benefit is one more way KIUC helps members be energy conscious and energy wise.

MARCH 2014 11 Inside KIUC From the Chairman One of the most important jobs of the elected board of the cooperative is to plan for the future. We are constantly challenged to look ahead. We consider data about everything—interest rates, fuel prices, visitor arrivals, population trends, energy efficiency, plant emissions, even local building permits—to help us make the best decisions about allocating the resources of the cooperative well into the future. Our staff and consultants have done a remarkable job the past several years estimating how much electricity we think we are going to sell. The explosive growth in residential photovoltaic systems has made forecasting more challenging, but we haven’t been surprised by any of the numbers yet. In 2013, sales of electricity were off just 0.4 percent from 2012—very close to our forecast. In 2014, we budgeted our sales to decline a little less than 1 percent. Some of this decline is the result of energy-efficiency steps taken by our members, including their use of solar water heaters and photovoltaic systems. The average Kaua‘i family is using about 10 percent less electricity today than in 2007. Even with all of the new PV systems, there is still increased demand for electricity from new homes and businesses, as well as from existing customers. For example, last summer was especially hot and dry. We saw the average residential use jump about 5 percent in July, August and September. As one of our members told us, “I got PV mostly so I could run the air conditioner without feeling guilty.” While the growth of residential PV systems has been fast, it is not “bankrupting the co-op,” as some have suggested. We have seen this trend coming for a long time, and we have planned for it. The fact is, even with more than 2,100 PV systems planned or in service by the end of 2013, electricity sales have fallen only slightly. The recession had a much greater impact on our revenue than has the expansion of PV. Even though there are now almost 14 megawatts of customer-sited solar in service, these systems represented only 1.7 percent of our total energy output in 2013. That means the vast majority of these systems are simply offsetting customers’ own use—air conditioners, washers and dryers, water heaters, multiple TVs and cable boxes—and not contributing great amounts of excess energy to the grid. That is why utility-scale solar projects and battery storage remain key components of our strategic plan. Our two new solar projects at Kōloa and Anahola will generate electricity at around 12 cents a kilowatt-hour—half the price of oil and a lot less than some people are paying for their PV systems. 12 KIUC CURRENTS We want all members to benefit from solar energy. KIUC is still offering $1,000 rebates to members who install a solar water heater. It is the cheapest, easiest way to save 40 percent or more on your bill. If you want to put a PV system on your roof, our Energy Services Department is available to help answer your questions and process your paperwork as quickly as possible. If you want to use the power of the sun, but aren’t sold on the idea of putting PV on your roof, KIUC will have 19 megawatts of utility-scale solar on the grid by the end of this year. Another 12 megawatts will come on line next year. This is all part of our strategic plan to use renewable resources to supply at least half of Kaua`i’s energy by 2023. We’re getting there, and we appreciate your support. Me ke aloha pumehana Allan A.

Next Meetings All meetings held at the KIUC offices at 12:30 p.m., unless otherwise noted. March 18 (10 a.m. annual board of directors’ meeting; 12:30 p.m. regular meeting), April 29, May 27 and June 24. MARCH 2014 13 Inside KIUC Work to Start on $54 Million Anahola Solar Project Construction is expected to begin this spring on a $54 million solar array, substation and energy storage battery in Anahola. It is the third large-scale solar project on Kaua‘i and one of the largest in Hawai‘i. KIUC and the Department of Hawaiian Homelands reached final agreement in February on a 25-year lease of 60 acres near the Anahola Marketplace that will be the site of the solar array and substation. The 12-megawatt array will consist of 59,000 panels and other equipment to be installed by REC Solar. Construction will employ about 150 workers. The array—which is expected to be in operation by early 2015—will supply about 5 percent of Kaua‘i’s annual energy needs, or enough energy for 4,000 homes. During daylight hours, about 20 percent of the island’s electricity will come from the Anahola project. The project will generate electricity at a cost of about 12 cents per kilowatthour compared to about 24 cents for electricity created by burning oil. It also will enable KIUC to reduce its use of oil 14 KIUC CURRENTS by 1.7 million gallons a year. “This is a great project for Kaua‘i and the Anahola community, and I’m glad that we could partner with DHHL to make it happen,” said David Bissell, president and CEO of KIUC. “The project will provide not only the benefits of cheaper solar energy, but also economic benefits to the Native Hawaiian community.” In addition to lease payments to DHHL, the contract between the agency and KIUC calls for ownership of the solar array to transfer to DHHL after 25 years. The agency then could negotiate an agreement to sell electricity to KIUC or potentially convert the facility to a micro-grid that would provide power to beneficiaries in the Anahola region, depending on the technology available in the future. DHHL has the option to end the lease and have KIUC pay to dismantle the facility. A service center and baseyard for KIUC could be part of the deal. If KIUC moves ahead with that part of the plan, 5 acres would be used for the service center, which could include a member services area for bill-paying and service inquiries. The project also includes a lithium-ion battery system capable of storing 6 MW of power that can be used when cloud cover reduces the output of the solar array. In a separate agreement, KIUC will provide benefits to the Homestead Community Development Corporation for job training and education related to renewable energy. KIUC, DHHL and HCDC have been working together on the Anahola project since 2011, when it was first presented to community beneficiaries for their consideration. Six beneficiary consultations were held in 2011 and 2012. About 70 people attended a final informational briefing conducted by DHHL in Kapaa on Feb. 6, 2014. When finished, the Anahola solar project will be one of three large arrays generating power for KIUC. The three arrays—Anahola, Koloa and Port Allen—will generate 30 MW during the day, nearly half of the daytime customer demand.

MARCH 2014 19 Members and Community Members Vote to Keep Meter Opt-Out Fees Record turnout in special election upholds board decision The membership of Kaua‘i Island Utility Cooperative voted overwhelmingly in January to keep the fees that are charged to customers who don’t want to use a smart meter. With a record 10,901 votes cast out of 25,205 ballots mailed to members, 74 percent voted to keep the fees. The turnout was the highest in KIUC history, with 43 percent of the members casting a ballot. The previous record was 34 percent in the 2003 directors’ election, when 7,595 members voted. “The record voter turnout along with the big margin for ‘yes’ votes suggests that the vast majority of members were engaged, understood what was at stake and wanted to send a clear message that they supported the board’s decision to charge the fees,” said Allan Smith, chairman of the KIUC Board of Directors. “We’re grateful for that support, and we thank the members on both sides of the issue who took the time to vote.” Since November 2013, KIUC has charged $10.27 a month to customers who choose not to use a wireless smart meter. The charge—which was approved by the Public Utilities Commission in October 2013—covers the cost of manually reading the meters. KIUC also charges one-time fees to customers who ask to have their meter switched to anything other than a smart meter. Under the cooperative’s bylaws, members can challenge an action of the elected board by filing a petition. A group of members obtained a sufficient number of signatures on a petition to put the fee issue to a vote of the membership. Members voted by mail, phone and online between Jan. 4 and Jan. 25. The election was conducted by Merriman River Group, a Connecticut-based election management firm. Counting was observed by a representative of the O‘ahu branch of the League of Women Voters. Smith said the election cost members more than $100,000 in direct expenses, legal bills and staff time, and he believed the strong turnout indicated most members were “fed up” with a challenge to a decision made by the elected board and affirmed by the PUC. “While the petitioners may look upon this as some sort of academic exercise, a challenge to a board action is a very serious matter,” Smith said. “We do not take it lightly. And now, for the second time in three years, nearly three-quarters of the members who voted in a petition election defeated a challenge of a board action. “This was a direct rebuke from the vast majority of members who are tired of seeing their cooperative’s time and resources diverted from the No. 1 goal in our strategic plan: cutting their electric bill.” Help Drive Out Hunger on Kaua‘i!

Year-to-date electricity use on the island is 2 percent lower than last year. Even with the decrease in sales volume, KIUC is still doing everything it can, while maintaining safety and reliability, to reduce costs, operate efficiently and effectively, and continue to maintain a strong financial position. Revenues, expenses and net margins totaled $15.9 million, $14.5 million and $1.4 million, respectively, for the onemonth period ending Jan. 31. As is the case for all electric utilities, the cost of power generation is the largest expense, totaling $9.5 million or 59.8 percent of revenues. Commodities—fuel and purchased power costs—are the largest component of power generation, totaling $8.2 million or 51.8 percent of revenues. Currently, fossil fuel is the largest component of commodities, totaling $7.3 million or 46.2 percent of revenues. Other commodities include hydropower, totaling $0.5 million or 3.1 percent of revenues, and solar power, totaling $0.4 million or 2.5 percent of revenues. The remaining $1.3 million or 8 percent of revenues represents the cost of operating and maintaining the generating units. The cost of operating and maintaining the electric lines totaled $0.5 million or 3.4 percent of total revenues. The cost of servicing our members totaled $0.3 million or 1.8 percent of revenues.

Interest on long-term debt, at a favorable sub-5 percent interest rate, totals $0.6 million or 4 percent of revenues.
