7:15.1.18.2.1.4.107.15.13 : Appendix D
Appendix D to Subpart D of Part 5001 - Technical Reports for
Renewable Energy System (RES) Projects With Total Project Costs of
Less Than $200,000 but More Than $80,000 Technical Reports for
Renewable Energy System (RES) Projects With Total Project Costs of
Less Than $200,000 but More Than $80,000
Provide the information specified in Sections A through D for
each technical report prepared under this appendix. A Renewable
Energy Site Assessment may be used in lieu of Sections A through C
if the Renewable Energy Site Assessment contains the information
requested in Sections A through C. In such instances, the technical
report would consist of Section D and the Renewable Energy Site
Assessment.
Note: If the Total Project Cost for the RES project is
$80,000 or less, this appendix does not apply. Instead, for such
projects, please provide the information specified in §
5001.307(e).
Section A. Project Description
Provide a description of the project, including its intended
purpose and a summary of how the project will be constructed and
installed. Describe how the system meets the definition of
Commercially Available. Identify the project's location and
describe the project site.
Section B. Resource Assessment
Describe the quality and availability of the renewable resource
to the project. Identify the amount of Renewable Energy generated
that will be generated once the proposed project is operating at
its steady state operating level. If applicable, also identify the
percentage of energy being replaced by the system.
If the application is for a Bioenergy Project, provide
documentation that demonstrates that any and all woody biomass
feedstock from National Forest System land or public lands cannot
be used as a higher value wood-based product.
Section C. Project Economic Assessment
Describe the projected financial performance of the proposed
project. The description must address Total Project Costs, energy
savings, and revenues, including applicable investment and other
production incentives accruing from Government entities. Revenues
to be considered shall accrue from the sale of energy, offset or
savings in energy costs, byproducts, and green tags. Provide an
estimate of Simple Payback, including all calculations,
documentation, and any assumptions.
Section D. Project Construction and Equipment Information
Describe how the design, engineering, testing, and monitoring
are sufficient to demonstrate that the proposed project will meet
its intended purpose, ensure public safety, and comply with
applicable laws, regulations, agreements, permits, codes, and
standards. Describe how all equipment required for the RES is
available and able to be procured and delivered within the proposed
project development schedule. In addition, present information
regarding component warranties and the availability of spare
parts.
Section E. Qualifications of Key Service Providers
Describe the key service providers, including the number of
similar systems installed and/or manufactured, professional
credentials, licenses, and relevant experience. When specific
numbers are not available for similar systems, estimations will be
acceptable.
