Operational Efficiency Green Cargo Apron Loading Bridges Push Back vs. Power Up Equipment Upgrades

Smart Technology Flexible Ticket Counters Reduced Building Footprint

Rental Car Facility Consolidated QTA

Rental Car Ready and Return Increased Customer Convenience & Improved Air Quality

Historic Preservation Natural Resource Conservation

Nation’s Largest Airport Solar Farm 58% of FYI Energy

Solar Project By the Numbers 4.2 MgW Per Year Production –Online June 15, 2008 –At Full Capacity Twenty (20) Acre Site – No Alternative Use Now Over 13 Million in Projected Energy Savings

Overused term – but really worked in this case. Partner Contributions –PG&E State Level Implementation for this Region CPUC Incentives Flow Thru –World Water & Solar Technologies Technology Financing Long-Term System Operations and Maintenance Contract –Airport Strong Local Political Commitment 20 Acres of Land Solar Project Public Private Partnership

Solar Project Public Private Partnership Partner Benefits –PG&E Continued CA “Green” Leadership Positive Image Reduced Demand on Electrical Grid –World Water & Solar Technologies Now on Airports Industry “Map” Capable and Proven Innovator Leading Edge Financially - $16 Million Investment –Airport Excellent Re-Use of Land No Financial Risk $13 Million in Energy Savings
