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 several different options to evaluate and consider.
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 owner 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 the project's performance. 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 project for WAPA on the island of St. Croix.
We look forward to discussing these options with you at your convenience.

Leading Innovation >> Renewable Energy 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 first three
options require LSJ to continue to purchase part of your power needs from WAPA while participating in
WAPA's renewable energy net metering program. The forth option is based upon US disconnecting
completely from WAPA and the final option contemplates the sale of extra power to WAPA under a
power purchase arrangement which is subject to WAPA's agreement and participation.
The options are as follows:
1. Solar under WAPA's Net Metering Program — Install a 100 kWAc solar photovoltaic system on the
rooftops of the generator and desalinization plant buildings, remain connected to WAPA's grid
and purchase all additional power at WAPA's published rates.
2. Wind under WAPA's Net Metering Program — Install a 100 kWAc wind turbine at the Kite House,
remain connected to WAPA's grid and purchase all additional power at WAPA's published rates.
3. Wind under WAPA's Net Metering Program with stand-alone solar for the desalinization plant —
Install a 100 kWAc wind turbine at the Kite House, a 70 kWAc solar photovoltaic system on the
roof of the desalinization plant and a 100 kW/100 kWh load leveling battery energy storage
system. Other than the desalinization plant the rest of the island will remain connected to
WAPA's grid and purchase all additional power at WAPA's published rates.
4. Maximize solar and wind to disconnect from WAPA — Install a 100 kWAc solar photovoltaic
system on the rooftops of the generator and desalinization plant buildings, a 150 kWAc solar
photovoltaic system at the Kite House location, a 250 kWAc wind turbine at the Kite House and a
200 kW/1,000 kWh battery energy storage system.
5. Maximize solar and wind assets with the intension of exporting power to WAPA — Install a 100
kWAc solar photovoltaic system on the rooftops of the generator and desalinization plant
buildings, a 150 kWAc solar photovoltaic system at the Kite House location and a 750 kWAc wind
turbine at the Kite House.

Preliminary Project Economics
Toshiba has developed these preliminary project economic analyses using budgetary information and
very basic 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. Our analysis shows that options 1 - 4 should bring down the average cost of a kilowatt
hour to between 30 and 40 cents. Option 5 could further reduce your average cost of a kilowatt hour
below 20 cents however this option would require approvals and buy in from WAPA.

Notes: The above table assumes an annual island consumption of 829,318 kWh from December 2011
to November 2012 at the billed VIWAPA rates (41 cents kwh). Option 5 assumes a $0.014/kWh power
purchase agreement with VIWAPA for power sold back to the grid.
Next Steps
The next step would be to select one or two options to evaluate while at the same time facilitating a
discussion with WAPA as to their interest in purchasing power from US. The evaluation and detailed
design phase costs are included in Table 1 above and can be started immediately. This phase will
include site visits to examine the existing equipment and select final installation sites. 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 LSJ along with the updated costs to install, operate and maintain the systems. Should you
select Toshiba to implement any of the options listed above the design fee above will be waived as it will
be incorporated into the capital costs for each option.

Wind Turbine Options
We have specified three different size wind turbines; all certified for use in high wind marine
environments. The 100 kW and 250 kW wind turbines can be lowered to the ground when high winds
are expected. The 750 kW wind turbine remains erect during high wind events, but the turbine blades
are held in a locked position. All of these turbine models are currently installed in the Caribbean and
have survived hurricanes. We have preliminarily sited the wind turbine options at a location on the
northern end of the Kite House plateau. The purpose of this is to reduce/eliminate shading on a ground
mounted solar array in the same location.

system is needed to level the load of the plant during times when overhead clouds reduce the
PV plant output to a level lower than is required to operate the plant.
2. For Option 4, the disconnected from WAPA option, a large battery energy storage system is
needed to power the island whenever the sun is insufficient to supply the PV system with the
required irradiance to meet the island load.

Solar Project #1: US 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.
Solar Project #3: Federal Facility
Completed and brought on-line a 520 kW solar PV system on the
roof top of the customer's building. Completed the design, procured
major equipment, engaged local subcontractors to build, and
continue to own and operate the system.
The thin-film photovoltaic (PV) system covers 95,000 sq. ft. of
rooftop, and is expected to generate about 667,000 kWh per year
with a peak rating of 468 kW. The system supplies approximately
13% of the building's electricity needs.
Approximately 50% of the project's cost was avoided through the
use of rebates and incentives. Power is sold to customer via a 10 year Power Purchase Agreement.
