VIWAPA Transformation Plan RECOVER . REBUILD . RESTORE August 10, 2021 VIWAPA 5-Year Transformation Plan FY 2020-2024 The Authority’s 5-year transformation plan is designed to improve the reliability and efficiency of our operations by continuing our disaster recovery initiatives, rebuilding and improving our electrical and water infrastructure, and restoring our commitment to the community. Transformation Plan (FY 2020 – 2024) Mitigation Projects • Underground projects – 50% of customers will have underground power. • Composite pole projects in STX, STJ, STT and Water Island. • Substation Upgrades, Submarine Cables, AMI Network Hardening. • St. John Emergency Generators and Microgrid Projects. Maximize Renewables with Battery Storage • Currently 4 MW Utility Scale (STX) • Target 25% Renewable Penetration by FY2024 • 5 MW Utility Scale Solar Generation (STT) • 20 MW of solar generation on STX and 20 MW of battery storage • 15 MW of wind generation on STT and 30 MW of battery storage Efficient Generation • The Authority’s generation fleet will be upgraded to smaller, more efficient and renewable compatible generators using clean burning propane as primary fuel. • 36MW of new generation on STT has already begun. Improved Resiliency Improved Efficiency Greater Renewable Penetration Hazard Mitigation Projects STX / STJ / STT / WI • Harden Remaining Overhead System • Lightly Populated Areas • Terrain Prohibitive Areas STX / STJ / STT • Primary Backbones • Critical Facilities • Densely Populated Areas STX / STT • Replace aging units with smaller more efficient generators per IRP • Install Battery storage at Generation Site STJ / STT / STX • Integrate solar & wind • Install smart controls • Install Battery Storage Underground Infrastructure Composite Poles New Generation Renewable Energy Disaster Recovery Funding to Date FED AGENCY PROGRAM OBLIGATED AMOUNT EXPENDED AVAILABLE FEMA 406 $ 809,238,192.30 $ 460,218,446.04 $ 349,019,746.26 FEMA 404 $ 4,486,720.23 $ - $ 4,486,720.23 HUD CDBG-DR $ 95,903,330.00 $ 13,803,201.60 $ 82,100,128.40 TOTAL $ 909,628,242.53 $ 474,021,647.64 $ 435,606,594.89 Electric System Major Capital Projects - St. Thomas - Projects Proposed Start Date Reliability Efficiency Improvements System Improvements Fiscal Year 2022 Project Cost Fiscal Year 2023 Project Cost East End Substation Mitigation Project July 2021 X X X 1,060,510.00 - Donald C Francois Mitigation Project January 2022 X X X 3,000,000.00 4,109,440.00 STJ Substation Mitigation Project January 2022 X X X 5,125,668.00 5,125,668.00 Feeder 9A Underground Phase II January 2022 X X X 500,000.00 665,000.00 Veteran's Drive Phase I January 2022 X X X 220,000.00 - Composite Pole Project (St. John) August 2021 X X 28,175,000.00 28,175,000.00 Composite Pole Project (St. Thomas) July 2021 X X 49,200,000.00 49,200,000.00 Cruz Bay Underground Project February 2021 X X X 25,120,000.00 25,120,000.00 St. Thomas Underground Project December 2021 X X X 5,100,000.00 75,050,000.00 Tutu Substation Mitigation Project January 2022 X X X 850,000.00 7,650,000.00 GIS Mapping Post Storm December 2021 X X X 2,500,000.00 2,500,000.00 Composite Pole Project (Water Island) - Project Completed awaiting payment October 2018 X X 5,640,131.05 11,995,125.53 Proposed Tutu Sub GIS Installations 34.5 & 15 kV (Engineering & Design) January 2022 X X X 5,750,000.00 - Install Underground Distribution System - St. Thomas (Engineering & Design) Ongoing X X X 29,795,777.68 29,795,777.68 Engineering Design for 69 kV Submarine Cable Project - RHPP to EE Ongoing X X X 100,000.00 100,000.00 Submarine Cable Project - St. Thomas July 2022 X X X - 26,400,000.00 Install Underground Distribution System - Cruz Bay (Construction) - Feeder 8E June 2022 X X X - 28,974,327.84 Install Underground Distribution System - Cruz Bay (Construction) - Feeder 9E June 2022 X X X - 28,974,327.84 Totals $ 162,137,086.73 $ 323,834,666.88 Electric System Major Capital Projects - St. Croix - Projects Proposed Start Date Reliability Efficiency Improvements System Improvements Fiscal Year 2022 Project Cost Fiscal Year 2023 Project Cost Composite Pole Project July 2020 X X 88,075,000.00 88,075,000.00 Construction for STX Underground Projects September 2021 X X X 50,916,666.00 150,966,667.00 Queen Street Feeder 1A Underground Project January 2022 X X X 25,000.00 1,975,000.00 Substation Emergency Generators September 2021 X X X 316,050.00 316,050.00 Totals $ 139,332,716.00 $ 241,332,717.00 TERRITORY MITIGATION & REHABILITATION PROJECTS -WATER St.Croix • Clifton Hill Rehabilitation • Hannah’s Rest Rehabilitation • Campo Rico Rehabilitation St. Thomas • Blackbeard’s Hill Rehabilitation • Mahogany Estate Waterline Rehabilitation • Tank 2 Rehabilitation *EPA Funded Water System Major Capital Projects Projects System Improvements Fiscal Year 2022 Project Cost Fiscal Year 2023 Project Cost Clifton Hill Waterline Rehabilitation Rehabilitation 3,285,000.00 215,000.00 Hannah’s Rest Waterline Rehabilitation Rehabilitation 2,200,000.00 550,000.00 Campo Rico Waterline Rehabilitation Rehabilitation 2,200,000.00 550,000.00 Blackbeard’s Hill Waterline Rehabilitation Rehabilitation 1,125,000.00 1,125,000.00 Mahogany Estate Waterline Rehabilitation Rehabilitation 750,000.00 750,000.00 Tank 2 Rehabilitation Rehabilitation 3,000,000.00 Totals $ 9,560,000.00 $ 6,190,000.00
