7. Substance of Proposed Resolution establishing KyMEA’s Commitment to Consider Renewable Alternatives 7 Consideration of Renewables - March 24, 2016 Board Meeting The KyMEA Board resolves that: 1.Early during fiscal year 2016/2017, KyMEA will commence an effort to identify and consider alternatives for implementing Renewable Energy Resource options as early as May 2019 (the “Option Survey Phase”). 2.The Option Survey Phase of the consideration process will identify: a.Renewable resource options that can be practically implemented as soon as 2019; b.Generic planning level estimates of the development and annual costs of such options and the practical implementation considerations related thereto; c.KyMEA’s and the Members’ appropriate roles in implementing initial Renewable Energy Resource alternatives identified; and d.Interest among KyMEA’s Members and the communities they serve, including willingness to bear additional costs of Renewable Energy Resources as compared to conventional resource options. 3.The amounts to be included in KyMEA’s FY 2016/2017 budget related to consideration and potentially implementation of Renewable Energy Resources is expected to be in the following ranges: a.$30,000 to $60,000 to complete the Option Survey Phase b.$25,000 to $75,000 as a placeholder for further consideration of a particular option(s) and initial implementation efforts within the fiscal year.
