RE: Application to the Iraan-Sheffield Independent School District from Midway Solar LLC (First Qualifying Year 2018, First Value Limitation Year 2019)

To the Local Government Assistance & Economic Analysis Division:

By copy of this letter transmitting the application for review to the Comptroller’s Office, the Iraan-Sheffield Independent School District is notifying Midway Solar LLC of its intent to consider the application for appraised value limitation on qualified property should a positive certificate be issued by the Comptroller. The Applicant submitted the Application to the school district on November 8, 2016. The Board voted to accept the application on November 8, 2016. The application has been determined complete as of January 9, 2017. The Applicant has provided the schedules in both electronic format and paper copies. The electronic copy is identical to the hard copy that will be hand delivered. The Applicant has requested that the value limitation begin in 2019. Please prepare the economic impact report.

The Applicant has requested that a Section 9 of the Application pursuant to Section Tex. Gov’t Code Section 552.104. The timing of the planned construction indicates the company’s direct plans for the timing necessary to develop the project in Iraan-Sheffield. Releasing this information gives competitors the opportunity to undercut negotiations with landowners and power purchasers. Furthermore, the public release of the information in Section 9 of the Application regarding the timing of the investment would reveal information which the company believes would cause the company to suffer substantial competitive harm and weaken its position in competitive siting decisions. Pursuant to this same statute, the information in Tabs 9 and 10, which the company has also requested to remain confidential, should remain confidential as both provide information by which competitors would be able to determine the areas the company has determined suitable for this project’s development. Revealing this information publicly permits

Letter to Local Government Assistance & Economic Analysis Division February 6, 2017 Page 2 of 2

other developers to financially benefit as they do not need to expend the funds to determine the suitability of the site.

In addition, the Applicant has requested Tabs 9 and a portion of Tab 11 and Tab 16, specifically the specific location and detailed layout of the planned solar, be kept confidential until such time the Board votes to approve the application. In accordance with 34 TAC 9.1053, the information that is the subject of this request is segregated from the materials submitted contemporaneously with this application, that is, the proprietary commercial information regarding the competitive siting decisions for the possible project and proprietary information regarding the proposed layout of the project. The confidential materials are being submitted separately to protect against unintended disclosure. The maps depicting the planned location of the project display proprietary commercial information regarding the specific location of the possible project and the nature of the business that will be conducted at the site. The materials are protected by the trade secret exception set forth in Texas Government Code §552.110.

A copy of the application will be submitted to the Pecos County Appraisal District.

Kevin O’Hanlon School District Consultant

Documentation to assist in determining if limitation is a determining factor

The applicant’s parent company for this project is an national solar developer with the ability to locate projects of this type in other countries and states in the US with strong solar characteristics. The applicant is actively developing and constructing other projects throughout the US and internationally. Projects in active development which are competing with Midway Solar for capital and corporate commitment to construct are located in: AZ, NV, UT, WY, and FL; with other markets under consideration as well.

The applicant requires this appraised value limitation in order to move forward with constructing this project in Texas. Specifically, without the available tax incentives, the economics of the project become unappealing to investors and the likelihood of constructing the project in Texas becomes unlikely.

Property taxes can be the highest operating expense for a solar generation facility as solar plants do not have any associated fuel costs for the production of electricity, and with Texas wholesale electricity prices already below the national average in Texas, it is necessary to limit the property tax liabilities for a solar project in order to be able to offer electricity at prices that are marketable to Texas customers at competitive rates, including power sales under a bi-lateral contract. Markets such as California that have state wide available subsidies for renewable energy projects, and which have higher average contracted power rates, offer an attractive incentive for developers to build projects in those markets over Texas.

The property tax liabilities of a project without tax incentives in Texas lowers the return to investors and financiers to an unacceptable level at today’s contracted power rates under a power purchase agreement. As such, the applicant is not able to finance and build its project in Texas even with a signed power purchase agreement because of the low price in the power purchase agreement. Without the tax incentive, the applicant would be forced to abandon the project and spend its development capital and prospective investment funds in other states where the rate of return is higher on a project basis.

This is true even if the entity is able to contract with an off-taker under a power purchase agreement because the low rate contracted for is not financeable without the tax incentives. More specifically, a signed power purchase agreement in the Texas market is at a much lower rate than other states because of competitively low electricity prices. Other states have high electricity prices where a developer can obtain a PPA with a much higher contracted rate, combined with state subsidies, the other states offer a much higher rate of return for the project financiers. Without the tax incentives in Texas, a project with a power purchase agreement becomes unfinanciable.

Re: Chapter 313 Job Waiver Request

Dear Mr. Allen:

Midway Solar LLC (“Midway”) hereby requests the minimum new job creation requirement, as

provided under Texas Tax Cod 313.025(f-1), be waived.

Midway has committed to create not less than 2 FTE year round and 2-3 FTE equivalent

seasonal local jobs for preventative and corrective maintenance of the improvements once

commercial operation begins for the 30 or more year operating life.

Large scale solar projects typically require 200 or more direct jobs during the one-year

construction timeline. However, once the construction phase ends and commercial operations

begin, only a few highly skilled technicians are required. Generally, the number of employees

needed to operate a solar project does not vary significantly with the size of the project.

Therefore, a 182 megawatt project requires approximately 2 FTE employees. The waiver would

be for 2 jobs.

These permanent employees and seasonal employees will maintain and service installed

equipment including solar panels, inverters, mounting systems, electrical connections, project

substation, etc. to support safe and reliable operation of the project.

The waiver request herein is in line with general industry practice for the number of jobs being

created for solar energy generation facility of a similar size. This is also evidenced by previously

filed limitation agreement applications by other developers who similarly requested a waiver of

the job requirements.

Sincerely,

_____________________________________________
