Iberdrola Renewables: Committed to the Environment

• Released first ever company-wide Avian and Bat Protection Program

• Partnered with Bat Conservation International on groundbreaking research program at operating wind farm in Pennsylvania

• Active participant in creation of California Voluntary Siting Guidelines

• Member of U.S. Fish & Wildlife Wind Turbine Guideline Advisory Committee

• Rotor converts wind energy into rotational shaft energy

• Drive train and generator in nacelle generate electricity at 575 volts

• Transformer at base of turbine steps up electricity to 34.5 kV

• Collector lines carry electricity to collector substation

• Collector substation steps up electricity to 69, 115, 230 or 500 kV, depending on transmission line

• Switching station delivers electricity to the grid

Typical Wind Turbine Design

Benefits of Wind Energy and the Tule Wind Project

• Domestic, clean source of energy

• Reduces smog and greenhouse gases

• Helps SDG&E generate renewable power locally

• Helps California meet RPS goals– 20% by 2010– 33% by 2030

• Brings local economic development to SD County

Economic Development Benefits

• Job creation for ~150 people likely employed during construction

• 10 permanent jobs created for operations and maintenance; prioritizing local hiring

• Indirect economic benefits: significant increase in local business during construction and continuing through operations

– Iberdrola Renewables’ Big Horn wind farm (WA) brought more than $1 million in local revenue to Klickitat County during the 9-12 month period of construction

– Iberdrola Renewables’ 221 MW Klondike wind farm (OR) purchased approximately $4 million in local construction materials, such as gravel and concrete, and created approximately $1 million of demand for local services, such as fuel, food and lodging

•On Bureau of Land Management, State, and tribal lands, in McCain Valley off I-8, north of existing Kumeyaay wind farm

•Up to 200 MW

•Estimated online in late 2010

•Less than 2% of project area will be the actual facilities footprint, allowing room for other multiple uses on site including hiking, camping, and off-road vehicle use

•SDG&E very interested in purchasing power to meet RPS requirements

Draft Visual Simulation: Boulevard

Three of the proposed turbines would be visible from this higher elevation viewing point southeast of I-8. The proposed turbines would not be visible from most locations within and around the town of Boulevard due to the area’s lower elevation and the varied terrain surrounding it.

Proposed Steel-Pole Concepts

17

Iberdrola Renewables is using important fire-safety design considerations for the transmission lines that include: 

•Using steel, “weathering” poles (versus wood poles)

•Using longer insulators to support the wires

•Will not use switching devices with moving parts (fused cutouts, switches, reclosers) on the poles

•Designed for worst case conditions (the line will be no closer to the ground than 25 feet)

•To the greatest extent practical, self- supporting poles will be used at locations where the line changes direction rather than guy wires and anchors

• On-site environmental and meteorological studies ongoing

• Modifications being made as study data comes in to determine layout with least environmental impact

• Submission of revised Plan of Development early 2009; first step in initiation of joint NEPA/CEQA review

• Project’s NEPA/CEQA review will include in-depth discussion of environmental impacts and proposed mitigation measures

• Outreach planned to community, local businesses, environmental, and recreational groups prior to kickoff of NEPA scoping process; opportunities for public input throughout the process
