PUD 1 is ready and able to meet the total capacity needs of the project at full build-out. As we have previously discussed with the Pleasant Harbor planning group, this would need to be accomplished through a phased-in approach, as discussed more fully below in response to your questions. Short Answers to Your Questions: 1. Does Mason County PUD No.1 currently have capacity to serve this development? Answer: Not at this time. 2. If the answer to #1 is “not at this time”, at what point would that occur? Answer: This will require a phased-in approach. The first requirement would be to add cooling fans on the power transformer in the Duckabush Substation. These fans will give us the capacity to serve Stage 1, Phases 1-3, as presented on the construction schedule provided by Hemisphere Engineering, Inc. on June 22, 2011. Beyond the installation of cooling fans in the Duckabush substation, we will need to perform additional engineering studies and designs to accommodate the remaining stages/phases of the development. 3. What improvements/upgrades would need to occur to serve the proposed development at full build out? Answer: To serve full build-out will require a new substation and associated distribution feeders. 4. Would PUD improvements be made in phases coincident with the proposed development? Answer: Yes; improvements would be made as project loads are added. In addition to the distribution system additions needed to serve this project, there are also power and transmission considerations that should be kept in minds as the project unfolds. Under the power sales contract between PUD 1 and the Bonneville Power Administration (“BPA”), substantial advance notice is required in order to obligate BPA to serve the project load. For example, notice for service from BPA under PUBLIC UTILITY DISTRICT NO. 1 BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS OF MASON COUNTY KARL DENISON, Commissioner N. 21971 Hwy. 101 JACK JANDA, Commissioner Shelton, Washington 98584 RON GOLD, Commissioner (360) 877-5249  1-800-544-4223 FAX (360) 877-9274 its Tier 2 power rates requires up to XX years advance notice. Similarly, under the transmission agreement between PUD and BPA, obtaining transmission capacity on the BPA system to import a resource acquired to serve the project requires up to XX years advance notice. I mention these matters so these timing requirements can be integrated into the project planning process. I trust these answers are responsive to your question. Should you need any further information, do not hesitate to contact me.
