  1. PDK’s Solar Effort

  2. PDK’s Solar Effort • Premise 1 – What we don’t want • We don’t want to own it. • We don’t want to pay for it. • We don’t want to maintain it. • Premise 2 – What we want • A little lease money for “worthless” property • Education Kiosks • Administration Building • PDK Park • A little Goodwill • Premise 3 – When in doubt refer to Premise 1

  3. GA Territorial Act of 1973 • Whereby every geographic area within the state shall be assigned to AN (singular) electric supplier… • Reasons • Most efficient, economical, & orderly • Inhibit duplication of the lines of suppliers • To protect lines lawfully constructed by electric suppliers • Preservation & enhancement of the state’s physical environment • Limited private producers access to the grid • Enabled private business to USE power they created with the benefit of tax credits and accelerated depreciation – not available to tax exempt organizations or governments

  4. Georgia Power’s Advanced Solar Initiative (ASI) • Georgia Power will issue Power Purchase Agreements for 825 MW of new solar facilities • Issued by lottery • Will pay producers FMV • Retail vice wholesale

  5. PDK’s Solar Effort • Issued RFQ for consultant selection • RFQ delineated the following priorities • Showcase project for City, County, Airport • Develop the project without major capital investment • Educational asset • Maintenance cost reduced or eliminated • Lease income • Recommend technology to be used • Recommend location based on completion of FAA approved glare study

  6. PDK’s Solar Effort Recommendations • Photovoltaic solar panels • Locally produced (5 miles from PDK) • Highly efficient • FAA approved glare study • Used to identify potential sites that minimize or eliminates potential glare for air traffic and air traffic control • FAA approved software • www.sandia.gov/glare • Identified preferred ownership option • Identified ONE potential site at PDK

  7. Proposed location 1750’ into RPZ

  8. Next Steps • Submit request to FAA IAW Ref doc – FAA Interim Guidance on Land Uses Within a Runway Protection Zone 9/27/12 • Expect updated land use AC 2014 • Request required when “A local development proposal” includes land within RPZ • Identify alternatives • Identify where in the RPZ • Cautiously optimistic – Interim Guidance slanted towards requirements (e.g. a new approach, new critical aircraft, runway extension) and leaves little room for “discretionary” projects.
