Valley Electric Association SLCAIP Application
Page 7 of 9
e. Ability to Use: Provide a brief explanation of the Applicant’s ability to receiveand use the requested resource as of October 1,2024.
VEA owns, operates and has access to transmission under various agreements. We willhave a need for them for years to come. Our load has increased by over 20% since 2010and is projected to grow by an average of 1.1 percent.
3. Provide a statement from the Applicant identifying the benefit to the state fromtheir receipt of the allocated resource. Applicants should demonstrate how receiptof the allocated resource would provide the “greatest possible benefit to thisstate.” If applicable, Applicant should also demonstrate how loss of an existingallocation could impact the Applicant to the detriment of the state.
The allocation of the requesled resources to Vahey Eledilic Association, Inc. (VEA) willachieve the greatest possible benefil Ia the state for the following reasons:
• This economical, reliable renewable power resource, if granted lo Valley ElectricAssociation, would take the place of less affordable and environmentally friendlyresources and goes further in serving consumers in need than anywhere else in Nevada.In fact, it would be difficult to imagine a better source for the allocation of resources thanVEA
• More than 90 percent of the consumers of VEA power reside In Nye County, whichis among the more economically depressed counties in the state.
• According to recent census data, the median income for a household in NyeCounty is $41,000 and the median family Income is $50,000. By comparison, the medianhousehold income statewide is $55,750, and the median family income Is approximately$64,500.
• Only two of Nevada’s 17 counties rank below Nye, and one of them {Esmeralda)also is in the VEA service territory.
• Nye County fares a little better, nationally, but not much. In the United States, themedian household Income is about $52,000, and family income is $63,000.
• As a result, energy expenses take up a far great• percentage of household incomeof residents of Nye County than households elsewhere in the state.
Page 1 of 3
• Affordable hydropower has contributed to more than a 20% increase in VEA’s loadsince 2010 and it will help drive a projected annual average load growth of 1.1 percentthrough 2034.
• The allocated hydropower resources will help VEA lo continue lo directly contributeto the economy of Nye County, which it has been doing by increasing employment bymore than 100% since the depths of the last recession.
• The additional hydropower will help VEA continue to invest in the technologicalinfrastructure needed for the 21st century such as bringing high speed fiber optic internetcommunication services lo rural Nevada homes, schools and businesses.
• It will also help VEA continue to make investments in Nevada’s future such aselectricity storage, electric vehicle charging stations and community solar generation.
• It will help VEA continue its Lighthouse Assistance Program, providing up to $200for low income senior members in having difficulty paying their electric bill.
• This resource also helps make the renewable energy we take from the CommunitySolar Project (15 MW photovoltaic generator located in Pahrump, NV) viable by shapingand firming it.
• Finally, it will also help VEA continue a decade long tradition of awarding hardworking students with currently in excess of $10,000 in academic, vocational, technical,and continuing education scholarships to assist members and their families as well ashelp continue VEA’s successful energy saving solar water heater” & irrigation efficiencypump, testing programs.
VEA is always searching for additional renewable power resources at affordable rates,not because it serves the interests of investors but because it directly benefits ourmembers, who are also our owners. If allocated to VEA, these resources will provide thegreatest possible benefit to Nevada by keeping more money, jobs and Investments forthe future in the stale economy.
The loss of our existing reliable, affordable and renewable SLCAIP hydropower allocationwould impact yEA’s ability to provide the aforementioned benefits (see above), to thedetriment of the state. If these resources are not allocated lo yEA, it will diminish ourability to maintain rate stability and keep more money, jobs and investments for the futurein the state economy. More explicitly:
• It will diminish our ability to provide reliable, affordable and environmentally friendlyelectricity to consumers in need in one of the most economically depressed areas ofNevada.
Page 2 of 3
It will diminish our ability to make further investments in the technologicalinfrastructure needed for the 21st century such as bringing high speed fiber optic internetcommunication services to rural Nevada homes, schools and businesses.
• II will diminish our ability to make further investments in Nevada’s future such aselectricity storage, electric vehicle charging stations and community solar generation.
• It will diminish our ability to maintain or increase our current employment levels.
• It will diminish our ability to provide assistance to low income membersexperiencing difficulty paying their electric bill as well as diminish our ability to provideenergy efficiency programs.

RE: Intent to Withdraw SLCAIP Application
Dear Ms. Bates:
Thanks to you and your team for the assistance navigating the Salt Lake CityArea Integrated Projects (SLCAIP) hydropower application process, which theCity applied for in July, 2018. Although the Draft Order for an allocation of theSLCAIP hydropower to the City was not approved by the Commission, theCity has decided to to withdraw our application from consideration withoutprejudice. After considering some of the economics and wastewater treatmentload factors over the past few weeks, we believe that the circumstances havechanged enough for the City to discontinue the process. We look forward tocontinue working with you and the Commission on our existing hydropowercontracts.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Sincerely,
I-
