CUMMINGS WESTLAKE LLC 12837 Louetta Road, Suite 201 Cypress, Texas 77429-5611 713-266-4456 Fax: 713-266-2333 June 2, 2017 Mr. Bill Boyd Interim Superintendent Crane ISD 511 W. 8th Street Crane, TX 79731 Re: Amendments to Crane Solar, LLC Chapter 313 Application – Crane ISD Dear Mr. Boyd: Attached are the amended pages of Crane Solar, LLC’s Chapter 313 application to Crane ISD. The amendments made are as follows:

• Page 7 of the application has been updated with revised wage data for county wages for all jobs in all industries.

• Tab 4 of the application – references to storage containers and spare parts in the project description have been removed at the request of the Comptroller. The definition of property related to the substation has been clarified.



• The map in Tab 11 showing the proposed project improvement layout has been revised to show the proposed location of the project substation and generation transmission tie in line. These improvements are shown in magenta and are entirely within the project boundary and reinvestment zone.

• The jobs waiver letter in Tab 12 has been updated with additional information. • Tab 14 has been updated with revised wage data for county wages for all jobs in all industries as

referenced in the first bullet point above. • Schedule A1 has been revised to remove the estimated cost of storage containers that were

deleted from Tabs 4, 7, and 8 as noted above. • Schedule A2 of the application has been updated to show the estimated investment over a 25-

year period based on the revised investment shown in Schedule A1. • Schedule B of the application has been updated to show the estimated value of buildings and

personal property based upon the revised investment shown in Schedules A1 and A2. Would you please contact me if you have questions or comments? Sincerely,

Crane Solar, LLC Chapter 313 Application to Crane ISD

Cummings Westlake, LLC

ATTACHMENT TO APPLICATION FOR APPRAISED VALUE LIMITATION ON QUALIFIED PROPERTY BY CRANE SOLAR, LLC TO CRANE ISD

TAB 4 Detailed Description of the Project

Provide a detailed description of the scope of the proposed project, including, at a minimum, the type and planned use of real and tangible personal property, the nature of the business, a timeline for property construction or installation, and any other relevant information. Crane Solar, LLC (“Crane Solar”) is requesting an appraised value limitation from Crane Independent School District (ISD) for the Crane Solar Project (the “Project”). Crane Solar proposes to develop a utility-scale, grid-connected solar photovoltaic energy (PV) plant in Crane Independent School District. The proposed Project will be constructed within a Reinvestment Zone that was created by Crane County Commissioners Court on February 28, 2017. Maps showing the location of the Project are attached in Tab 11. The Project will be constructed on approximately 1,300 acres, which is part of a larger, long-term lease agreement with a local landowner. The Project will be located entirely within Crane Independent School District. The proposed Project will include, but is not limited to, the following:

• Planned up to 200 MW-AC in size; • First Solar PV modules; • DC-to-AC inverters; • Medium and high-voltage electric cabling; • Tracker racking system (mounting structures); • Project substation which will include a high-voltage transformer, switchgear,

transmission equipment, telecommunications and SCADA control equipment, and all necessary equipment needed to connect the Project to the substation and subsequently to the transmission line described immediately below;

• High-voltage transmission line connecting the project to the grid (gen tie); • Operations and maintenance (O&M) building including telecommunications and

computing equipment; • Meteorological equipment to measure solar irradiance and other weather conditions; and • Associated equipment to safely operate, maintain, and deliver electricity to the grid.

Crane Solar requests a value limitation for all real property and tangible personal property installed for the Project, including but not limited to: solar modules/panels, racking and mounting structures, inverters, combiner boxes, meteorological equipment, foundations, roadways, buildings and offices, paving, fencing, collection system, electrical substations, generation transmission tie line and associated towers, and interconnection facilities. Construction of the Project is anticipated to begin in the fourth quarter of 2018 with project completion by the fourth quarter of 2019.





TAB 7

Description of Qualified Investment The Project will be constructed on approximately 1,300 acres, which is part of a larger, long-term lease agreement with a local landowner. The Project will be located entirely within Crane Independent School District. The proposed Project will include, but is not limited to, the following:

Construction of the Project is anticipated to begin in the fourth quarter of 2018 with project completion during the fourth quarter of 2019.

NOTE - The maps in TAB 11 shows the proposed project area with a bold black line with the preliminary panel and inverter locations shown with red rectangles. The exact placement of these panels and inverters is subject to ongoing planning, soil studies, and engineering and will be finally determined before construction begins.





TAB 8

Karl Pierce Project Development First Solar Inc. 11757 Katy Freeway Suite 400 Houston, Texas 77079 832-209-9909

June 2, 2017 Mr. Bill Boyd Interim Superintendent Crane Independent School District 511 E. 8th Street Crane, TX 79731 Re: Chapter 313 Job Waiver Request Dear Mr. Boyd,

Crane Solar, LLC requests that the Crane Independent School District’s Board of Trustees waive

the job requirement provision as allowed by Section 313.025(f-1) of the tax code. This waiver would be based on the school district’s board findings that the jobs creation requirement exceeds the industry standard for the number of employees reasonably necessary for the operation of the facility of the property owner that is described in the application.

Crane Solar, LLC requests that the Crane Independent School District make such a finding and

waive the job creation requirement for 10 permanent jobs. In line with industry standards for job requirements, Crane Solar, LLC has committed to create 2 total jobs for the project, which will be in Crane ISD.

Solar projects create many full and part-time, but temporary jobs during the construction phase

of the project, but require a relatively small number of highly skilled technicians to operate and maintain the project after commercial operation begins. The staffing of solar projects after commercial operations begin depends on the solar technology used, the size and location of the project, and the experience of the operator. Staffing is not linear, i.e., doubling the MW size of a project does not require doubling the number of employees. With current technology, First Solar believes that permanent staffing requirements of solar electric generating facilities is at least 120 MW per employee and may be more depending on project location.

First Solar, Inc., the parent company of Crane Solar, LLC, has more experience in the operation

and maintenance (O&M) of solar electric generating facilities than any other company in the world. First Solar has developed one of the largest and most advanced O&M programs in the industry. First Solar has more than 7.1 gigawatts (GW) of utility-scale PV plants under its O&M program.


Based on First Solar’s experience in operating and maintaining a large fleet of solar electric generating facilities and the solar technology to be used, the company believes that two permanent employees will be required to operate the proposed 200 MW Crane Solar, LLC project.

Sincerely,

Karl Pierce
