• GPA has spent $ 970 M for Fuel (Cumulative) since FY 2003
• GPA Fuel Expenses in FY 2008 more than tripled compared to FY 2003, even though Guam’s energy demand remained flat
FY 2003: Fuel Expenses = $72.7 M
FY 2008: Fuel Expenses = $237 M
• As of Feb 2009, FY 2009 Fuel Expenses = $144 M
• The biggest factor in the increase in Power Bills is the RISING COST OF OIL

Hedging
• Hedging is for insurance on fuel price increases not an attempt to game the market
• Hedging provides rate stability+ : When prices are above the price ceiling, GPA customers do not see
that portion of the price increase
- : When fuel price falls below the price floor, GPA customers do not see a portion of price decreases

• Increased Baseload Efficiencies from 83% to 98% (Jan 2009)
About $134 M in Fuel Purchase Savings
• Reduced Unaccounted for Energy, or “Line Losses” by 30% (from 10 to 7%)
• Collected $ 34.2 M of the $ 50.8 M previously owed by GovGuam for unpaid power bills to pay for fuel and other expenses that would have otherwise required higher rate increases
• Absorbed over $15 million in Unrecovered Fuel Expenses on behalf of ratepayers. GPA will never ask for this cost back from ratepayers.
GPA can only focus on processes and costs it can control. GPA cannot control oil prices.
How has GPA Reduced Rates to Ratepayers?

LEAC Facts:
• LEAC has been used for ten years to ensure that GPA recovers from ratepayers what they consume in energy.
• LEAC is adjusted twice a year to provide rate stability for 6 months at a time. Only once in ten years---this past June when oil prices soared to record levels---has LEAC been adjusted more than twice per year
Gasoline prices this year alone have increased 10 times and decreased 7 times. Gas prices remain higher than a year ago.
Would you want your power bill to act like that? Or would you want your bill to average-out the peaks and valleys to keep bills more stable?
If we change to “Monthly True-up” as some have suggested, GPA could never advance oil costs for ratepayers. Ratepayers would have to pay any “under-recovery” in the next month instead of averaging it out over 6 months or more.
23
LEAC is calculated by doing TWO things simultaneously:1) GPA and the independent PUC:
Compare what ratepayers consumed & were charged for oil vs.what GPA actually paid for in oil to provide the energy actually
consumed during the last 6 months LEAC Period
2) GPA, Morgan Stanley and the PUC: • Project Fuel Costs for the next 6 months• Project how much energy will be used & how much it will cost to produce this
amount of energy• Uses these projections to calculate the rate (LEAC rate) necessary to ensure
GPA has collected enough from customer fuel rates to buy projected fuel needed and generate projected energy demand
Accomplishing these two steps require looking back and forward to make sure GPA always has the money needed to order enough oil to meet customer demand.
LEAC Facts:
24
LEAC always benefits ratepayers, especially during periods of rising prices• Averages out impact of rising fuel prices by spreading the impact over 6 months, or even longer
LEAC protected ratepayers from soaring oil prices during the last 12 months• Delayed rate increases (LEAC is fixed over a period) • Spreading out payback
Without LEAC, ratepayers would see power bills go up & down like gas prices• Price increases to ratepayers would be immediate, instead of spread out• Any under-recovery would need to be recovered in one month; the $15.7M would have to be recovered in a month
Dropping oil prices will help GPA recover balances faster, allowing GPA to reduce its LEAC rate sooner.
LEAC Facts:
25
LEAC Facts:
• 33 States use processes similar to LEAC, or ECAC*
• Reasons for no ECAC/LEAC Process:Deregulated Market – typically deregulated utilities distribute, but do not generate electricity; therefore, they just pass on their cost of power to customers

GPA created an Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) which addresses Fuel Diversification and Renewable Energy Requirements (PL 29-62) by Recommending:
• Acquisition of renewable resources to offset the high price of fuel, and
• Conversion of existing plants to use Liquefied Natural Gas as an additional measure to lower impact of petroleum volatility and lower fuel expenses.
GPA intends to initiate acquisition for renewable resources in the next couple of months (Wind, Solar, Hydro, Biomass, Geothermal, OTEC,Wave).
Over the next few years, GPA will implement these alternatives and change the way power is produced – to get rates lower and keep them there
Moving Forward
33
Phase I – Renewable AcquisitionProcurement Document Development:
Multi-Step Bid for Purchase Power of Renewable Energy
Technical Criteria:Renewable Energy Technologies as defined by NREL (National Renewable Energy Laboratory)Projects > 5MW and up to 40 MW (for Phase I)Commissioning Period within 36 MonthsCommercially viable with min. 1 year of performance data
PUC reviewing documents (Procurement Protocol)
Renewable Energy Contract to be awarded in 2009
34
Phase II Renewable
Pending Wind Study progress & completion of Phase I
In OCT 2008, GPA completed a site assessment for sitingof wind monitoring towersProcurement for Wind Towers and Data Collection/Analysis is dependent on land acquisition – still in progress
GPA intends to issue Phase II Renewable bid late 2009
