Blue line=Segment A, Construction=102 miles Red line=Segment B, Construction=38 miles


LUCKY CORRIDOR UPDATE: FEBRUARY 25, 2011

After completion of power flow studies, and scoping meetings with BLM and USFS, Segment A of the Lucky Corridor Project is re-designed as 102 miles of new double circuit 230kV transmission between Tri-State’s Gladstone and Taos substations, then use of Tri-State’s existing 345kV line to PNM’s Ojo substation, until Segment B is built. USFS and BLM want to separately permit Segment B, 38 miles of line upgrades between Taos and Ojo, through sensitive lands. Segment B: estimated COD is two years after COD of Segment A.

Lucky Corridor, LLC has mitigated ROW risk by entering into an MOU with NM RETA. NMRETA brings to the Lucky Corridor project: a. Its determination that the project is in the public interest; b. NMRETA’s ability to issue bonds to finance up to 100% of construction debt;

and c. backstop eminent domain.

We ask for Western’s help in obtaining control of the ROW, and permitting it. In most areas, the existing Tri-State ROW is wide enough to install the double circuit 230kV. As soon as the ROW is optioned, NM RETA will close, and begin raising the construction debt. The ROW data base has been built in detail by Eagle Peak Land Surveying, Taos, NM.

Lucky Corridor, LLC has mitigated permitting risk by retaining Tetra Tech EC, Inc., studying the Project area, having scoping meetings with USFS and BLM, and preparing the 299 permit applications, which are being finalized for submission.

Lucky Corridor, LLC has mitigated risk of cost recovery by preparing the Project’s first Petition for Declaratory Order at FERC, under Order 679. Expert witnesses have been hired, power flow studies are complete, testimony prepared. Work to date indicates that our cost-of-service Project will both enhance system reliability and relieve congestion. Counsel is Al Statman, Wright & Talisman, veteran of Path 15, METC and other seminal transmission projects.

Lucky Corridor, LLC has mitigated customer risk by obtaining contingent transmission service orders with Denver-based Southwest Generation (gas-fired generation), with the 35,000A Gallegos Wind Farm in NE New Mexico, and with the Blue Mesa Wind Farm. There is more demand for transmission in the Project area than the Project alone can carry.


On October 18, 2010, the Los Alamos National Lab issued the New Mexico

Renewable Energy Development Study (LA-UR-10-6319) showing the importance to New Mexico of the route chosen by our Project.

In November, 2010, the NM Governor’s Task Force on Statewide Electricity Transmission Planning issued a study showing the importance of the route chosen by our Project: http://www.emnrd.state.nm.us/main/index.htm

Lucky Corridor, LLC has originated a $2,000,000 credit enhancement instrument to further finance its development activities, and we continue efforts to raise more development capital from individual investors, venture and equity firms, and from the Western Area Power Administration.

New Mexico Economic Development Department financed an independent study: “A Report of the Economic Impact of the Lucky Corridor Project on Communities in Northern New Mexico”, showing, at page 18, that our Project will create a total of 3,480 direct, indirect and induced jobs.

Doug Carter, SolarGen Over the past 20 years, Doug has actively developed over 9,000 MW of wind, natural gas, and solar energy projects from conceptualizing, developing, and construction of over $2.4 billion dollars of operating assets. A portion of the operating assets included acquiring the right-of-way and permits for an 80 mile transmission line that connected a 400 MW wind farm owned by Invenergy and NextEra and delivered the power to Xcel. As CEO of SolarGen USA, LLC, Doug developed over 500 MW of sites starting in 2009 that will lead to starting construction of 60 to 100 MW of arrays in 2011 by the longterm partner GCL Solar. He has over 20 years of experience in the energy industry in the areas of business development, project management, operations and engineering. He has a long track record with all aspects of power plant and energy site development. Prior to his work with SolarGen, he was a Senior VP with Invenergy, a leader in wind power generation. With Invenergy, he was responsible for the development of sites producing over 9,000 megawatts of wind, natural gas, and solar energy. Some highlights with Invenergy include: Developed 1,850 megawatts of wind farms and natural gas fueled power plants from prospects into

project finance including land acquisition, grass roots politicking, entitlements, interconnection negotiations and transmission line rights

Originated 1,200 megawatts of projects which included winning bids, negotiating power purchase agreements, structuring partnerships and closing engineering, procurement and construction contracts

Acquired land rights for over 1,000,000 acres through inexpensive ten year options that resulted in a wind development pipeline of over 8,000 megawatts

Expanded 500 megawatts of wind farms into California by lobbying the Governor’s office to open Bureau of Land Management properties, structuring a transmission solution with the local utility district, negotiating with major utilities and tribal land owners, winning a partnership proposal with a major utility to lease tribal lands, and litigating a purchase agreement to retain control of a transmission interconnection

Successfully lobbied in California, Montana, Colorado and Wyoming to provide the necessary political infrastructure for renewable energy projects.

From 2002 to 2004, Doug worked as the Director of Supply Development for Community Energy Inc, based in Pennsylvania. He was responsible for the development of wind farms in the Eastern Seaboard, New York and New England markets. In the 90s, Doug worked with Kinder Morgan, one of America’s largest pipeline transportation and energy storage companies. Doug worked his way up through a variety of positions, starting as a cost engineer and eventually leaving the company in 2002 as the Director of Development and Acquisitions.

SolarGen is a Colorado based company focused on producing construction-ready sites for solar energy production. We at SolarGen are an experienced team in the center of an emerging industry of renewable energy. With a combined 52 years of experience in the energy development field we have developed an expertise ranging from but not limited to: Solar development, wind development, transmission line development, power purchase agreements, interconnect agreements for renewable and conventional energy and the water industry. Moreover, our team is well versed in energy financing, utility regulations, local, state and federal permitting and land use development polices; a crucial aspect of the solar development process. Our primary focus is to find and develop project opportunities for appropriately sized solar arrays; evaluate financial efficacy of the project, acquire land and necessary permits, zoning and approvals for such arrays. Regardless, if the end energy company is a public or private entity, we can make these sites available for construction for one or multiple solar plant facilities. It has been our experience that the most risky and time-consuming aspect of developing energy facilities is the initial site development stage. Regardless when solar is to be developed on public or private lands, multiple layers of zoning; permitting and approvals are required prior to the initiation of construction. Large utilities and energy producing entities prefer to devote resources and expertise to the actual production and construction of energy rather than initial site development. Partnering with SolarGen, a company that provides expertise in site development preparations is a more efficient use of investor resources. With increased emphasis by the United States federal government, coupled with state-required levels of renewable energy, and the strong desire by emerging industries to reduce their carbon footprint, solar site demand is expected to increase significantly over the next 10-15 years. Federal funding and incentives are also expected to generate new, fast-tracked solar power construction proposals. Unlike, SolarGen, many of the solar technology companies responding to proposal requests do not have the financing and experience to develop all aspects of a site including utility and interconnect negotiations necessary for “speed to market” opportunities. Such companies can be expected to pay a premium for construction-ready sites; a cost passed on to the investor.

• Currently permitting Lucky Corridor through BLM, USFS Lands. • Lucky Corridor is in a unique position to deliver clean renewable wind and natural gas

generated electricity to serve the west coast loads. • Lucky Corridor is the only HVTL proposal for a southern path that has received support

from the NMRETA. • Lucky Corridor is the only "brownfield" project that proposes to upgrade an existing

transmission path that is receiving open cooperation from the federal land managing agencies that it crosses .

• Lucky Corridor is the only major proposal that would deliver renewable generation to load centers on the west coast through the Four Corners, thus avoiding paths through Arizona that will likely meet with resistance to Arizona's parochial interests to export local solar power to the west.

This office is pleased to have been chosen to work with Lucky Corridor, LLC, in their quest to bring high capacity power transmission lines across northern New Mexico for two very important reasons: (1) at times, our power supply is inconsistent; and, (2) we firmly believe them to be necessary for economic growth and development to improve the economic future for Taos and northern New Mexico. This office has proudly been involved in economic development efforts in Taos County since the mid~1980's as legal counsel to the Taos County Economic Development Corporation, the Taos Business Alliance for Economic Development, and, at different times, as Special Counsel to the Town of Taos, Taos County Board of Commissioners, and Taos Health Systems, Inc. (Holy Cross Hospital, our regional state-of the art medical facility). We believe that without the assurance of a consistent power supply, none of these organizations can maximize their most worthy goals. To date, we have worked with Lucky Corridor, LLC to provide appropriate legal documentation necessary to establish and secure their proposed rights-of-way across northern New Mexico. To that end, we have assembled a highly skilled team of local experienced, interested professionals who are committed to facilitating local economic growth and who are ready, willing and excited to help this very important project to succeed. It is my belief that the local team we have assembled has the abilities necessary to the success of putting together the rights-of-way for Lucky Corridor's proposed transmission lines, and we are pleased to be able to do so.
