Subject: RE: Cutchogue Landfill RFP Response & Introduction to Key Capture Energy
Councilman Ghosio,
th
Thank you again for allowing us the opportunity to present during the Town Board work session on November 4. My
outreach today is intended to outline next steps we’re hoping to complete with your support. These include 1) review of
town owned parcels which may be suitable for a BESS, and 2) further discussion regarding BESS receiving a public utility
zoning determination. To these ends, please find attached to this email the presentation deck used during our meeting
and a document that supports a Public Utility use determination for battery energy storage facilities.
Hopefully the presentation deck is a helpful resource for the Town. KCE plans to continue to pursue the few privately
owned parcels that are suitable for a BESS project under the Town’s current zoning regulations, but simultaneously
would like to present for your review three Town owned parcels that KCE identified to be viable for BESS development;
these are included at the end of the attached presentation. We’ve provided a brief outline of each property below;
please let me know if the Town is willing to consider BESS development on any of these properties:
1. Cutchogue Landfill: I understand that the Town has selected another bidder, Summit Ridge Energy, for this land
lease opportunity. As mentioned in our initial RFP bid response, KCE is open to connecting with the winning
bidder to discuss the potential for coordinated development between a solar energy system on the capped
landfill and a battery energy storage system adjacent to the capped landfill. If both parties determine this is
feasible, the Town may be able to increase the revenue earned at the site. Is the Town Board willing to
introduce KCE to Summit Ride Energy and explore this opportunity?
1
a. There also appears to be an active mulching operation on the 17-acre Town owned property next to the
Cutchogue Landfill site. KCE is requesting you to assess if a portion of this property can be repurposed
for the development of a BESS.
2. Intersection at Sound Avenue & Middle Road (Tax Map # 121.000-0005-004.004-0000): This 10-acre parcel is
currently vacant and used as “Open Space and Recreation” by the Town. KCE recognizes the importance of
protected lands. Due to the limited availability of suitable land to develop battery energy storage, KCE is
requesting you to assess if a BESS may be a suitable use on this parcel.
3. Intersection at Sills Lane & NY-25 (Tax Map # 045.000-0005-005.000-0000): This 47.31-acre parcel is currently
vacant and used as “Open Space and Recreation” by the Town. Similar to the Sound Avenue lot, KCE would like
to understand if a BESS may be a suitable use on this parcel. KCE recognizes there are wetlands in proximity to
Moores Drain. Based on our assessment of land needs, there appears to be sufficient developable land abutting
the intersection of Sills Lane and NY 25 for a BESS to maintain sufficient separation from wetlands. Because of
this site’s proximity to LIPA’s existing Southold substation, KCE would require no more than 6 acres.
Regarding BESS zoning, please find attached a letter from KCE’s counsel, Harris Beach, that supports a Public Utility use
determination for BESS. Please let me know if you would like to discuss these comments or have any questions. If the
Town decides that a battery energy storage code amendment is necessary, KCE has experience working with other
municipalities to implement code amendments and would be happy to act as an industry reference during the process.
If the Town does not believe a BESS code amendment is necessary, expanding the Code to allow public utility uses
through a special use permit in zones other than LI or LIO, such as the LB District mentioned by Dan Sullivan during the
meeting, may facilitate BESS development and ultimately support PSEG-LI’s procurement of 130 MW of non-wires
alternatives in 2021.
Thank you in advance for your review of this material. I believe our preliminary conversations and due diligence will help
ensure PSEG-LI procures BESS that are strategically sited in Southold.
Best,
Phil

Subject: Cutchogue Landfill RFP Response & Introduction to Key Capture Energy
Councilman Ghosio,
I hope this email finds you well. By way of introduction, my name is Phil and I work as a project
developer for Key Capture Energy (KCE), one of the companies that responded to the Town of
Southold’s RFP for the leasing of the Cutchogue Landfill Property for a storage and / or solar system. We
are a developer, owner, and operator of utility-scale energy storage systems with the largest operational
battery energy storage project in New York State.
I’m writing in response to Tuesday’s Town Board meeting during which Resolution-538 was adopted and
the Board accepted Summit Ridge Energy’s proposal. Key Capture would love the opportunity to partner
with the Town of Southold to bring more clean energy and grid stability to the region. To that end, my
team and I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to discuss our proposal and other potential
opportunities with the Town.
Some of our specific questions are provided below:
th
According to a Suffolk Times article that was published on February 11, Summit Ridge Energy’s
proposed project only contemplated a solar system. Is there an opportunity to pursue storage in
addition to the proposed solar project on the Cutchogue Landfill Property? KCE’s proposed
energy storage project was on a small portion of the property and left sufficient room for the
development of a solar project, which would give the Town dual sources of lease revenue.
Do you have any recommendations for how KCE can improve future bids to increase the
likelihood of selection (i.e. increasing proposed lease price or identifying a missed engineering
concern)?
As KCE discussed in our bid, PSEG-LI plans to procure 130 MW of capacity within the North Fork
to mitigate local grid constraints. KCE would appreciate the opportunity to discuss if there are
other Town owned properties that we may lease in order to support PSEG-LI’s goals. For
example, we have identified an approximately 47-acre property located at 70380 Route 25 that
is directly across from the high voltage Southold 69kV substation. PSEG-LI identified Southold
substation as a location that would greatly benefit from an energy storage project but there is
limited developable land nearby. Would the Town consider leasing a portion of the property to
KCE? Understanding the Town’s commitment to land conservation, we’d also appreciate the
opportunity to discuss if there are specific areas the Town will permit an energy storage project
on private land.
Thanks in advance for the opportunity to discuss our proposed energy storage project. On a personal
note, I live on Shelter Island and a have a deep connection to the North Fork -- I fully support the Town’s
efforts to transition towards a cleaner energy supply and improve its energy infrastructure’s resiliency.
KCE specializes in resolving PSEG-LI’s identified grid constraints in the North Fork and looks forward to
working with the Town of Southold during this process. Please let me know when you may be available
for a call.
Best,
Phil

Site Restoration and Decommissioning
Key Capture Energy has prepared a Decommissioning Plan that outlines the methods and
means to decommission the Project at the end of the Project's useful life.
i
The purpose of the Plan is to identify the methodology to be used to mitigate potential impacts resulting
from the cessation of operation of the Facility.
Utility bulk storage batteries available on the market today and like the batteries proposed for this
Project are typically designed to have a useful lifetime of approximately 20 years. Some replacement of
parts might be needed in this period, but the facility is likely to remain in operation for that duration.
The batteries will be continually maintained throughout the life of the Project.
Performance Criteria for Site Restoration
The list below includes site restoration performance criteria proposed for Project decommissioning.
(1) Safety and the Removal of Hazardous Conditions
Zero safety incidents is the goal.The removal of all hazardous conditions is an extension of that safety
goal. Meeting that goal includes the removal of all above ground facilities and any hazardous waste
materials upon decommissioning.
(2) Environmental Impacts
The goal of decommissioning is the safe and efficient removal of all the batteries and battery storage
energy facility components.This will include reclamation of the site to conditions as close to pre-
construction characteristics as possible. Erosion control and storm water management measures are
utilized to maintain water quality and prevent soil erosion and water runoff.All fluids and any other
hazardous materials will be removed in accordance with OSHA standards.All above ground facilities will
be removed and reseeding will take place.
(3) Aesthetics
Aesthetically, after decommissioning,the Facility Site,should be in as close to pre-construction condition
as possible.That will be accomplished by removing all above ground facilities and restoring the areas
where facilities have been removed and reseeding the affected areas.
(4) Salvage and Recycling
To the extent possible, all Project materials will be salvaged and/or recycled. If possible,facilities will be
removed, relocated and reused. Metal facilities(steel,copper,aluminum) if not reused,will be salvaged
and sold for scrap metal that can be recycled for use for other manufacturing purposes.
Decommissioning &- Restoration Plan
(1) Regulatory Compliance
Key Capture Energy will ensure compliance with all local, state and federal waste handling requirements. In
particular, lithium-ion batteries are considered hazardous waste and must comply with hazard waste
regulations. All necessary training and permits will be obtained prior to the commencement of
decommissioning.
(2) Plan for Decommissioning and Restoration
The Applicant has prepared the Plan to outline the methods and means to decommission the Project at
the end of the Project's useful life.The purpose of the Plan is to identify the methodology to be used to
mitigate potential impacts resulting from the cessation of operation of the Facility.
The Project will have an economical and technological lifetime of approximately 20 years.At the end
of its life the Project will be decommissioned, and batteries, containers, ancillary equipment,
buildings and infrastructure subsequently removed.
In general,facility decommissioning will occur in the general sequence outlined below:
• Disconnect battery racks within Container
• Remove Battery Racks
• Battery Disposal
• Remove Containers
• Remove Cabling
• Remove Electrical Equipment
Prior to commencing decommissioning,the Project will be shut down, de-energized and disconnected
from the Long Island Power Authority(LIPA) 69kV electric grid.The Applicant will coordinate de-
energization with LIPA and NYISO to ensure no disruption to the overall electrical system.
Additionally,the Applicant will give the Town of Southold and Southold Fire Department advance
notice prior to commencing decommissioning activity.
All aboveground components including buildings, structures and equipment will be removed during
decommissioning. In addition, all foundations will be removed to a certain depth below ground surface,
backfilled and then covered with topsoil.
The goal of decommissioning is the safe and efficient removal of all facility components and reclamation
of the site to conditions as close to pre-construction characteristics as practicable.The same safety
protocols that are used during construction will be used during decommissioning.
The decommissioning process is expected to,take approximately three months.This time includes
one-week site mobilization and preparation;six-week period to dissemble the facility; an additional
five-weeks to remove and reclaim foundations and reclamation work including grading, backfilling,
erosion control activity, reseeding will take place.
(3) Packaging and Transportation
The batteries must be packaged by trained contractors with all necessary hazardous materials training.
While the United States does not currently allow for the transport of full containers with all batteries
installed, it is anticipated that this will be allowed in the near-term.The batteries will be transported by a
Class 9 Hazmat qualified contractor.
(4) Recycling
There are three potential methods for battery recycling,two of which are currently commercially viable in
the United States.At the end of the project lifetime, KCE will review all available recycling methods and
industry standards to select the optimal recycling program.The available recycling methods are:
1. Pyrometallurgic:This process uses high temperatures to separate the components of a battery.
Metal alloys are retrieves from the process that can be used in industrial uses.Slag is also retrieved
and can be used in road construction.
2. Hydrometallurgic:This process uses chemicals and mechanical separation to dissolve and extract
specific metals from the batteries.The raw metals can then be used in new batteries or in another
industrial use.
3. Direct:While direct recycling is not commercially available in the United States today, it is the most
sustainable recycling option. Electrolytes are removed and purified,which allows re-use in new
batteries.
(5) Record Retention
KCE will ensure that all bill-of-lading and evidence of proper waste handling are retained for a minimum of
two years or to the duration that the current law requires.

Executive Summary
Key Capture Energy, LLC(KCE) is an Albany, NY-based energy storage developer,owner and operator
with a focus on utility-scale battery energy storage projects in the northeastern United States and Texas.
KCE selects project sites,secures all necessary permits, procures full battery systems, manages
construction and site commissioning and operates battery storage projects throughout their lifecycle.
With founders who have spent over a decade advancing utility-scale renewable energy projects into
operations, KCE has assembled a unique team with a deep understanding of the market and a history of
development achievements that have been a crucial part of New York's transformation into a clean
energy leader.
KCE is committed to supporting the Public Service Commission's(PSC)Order Establishing Energy Storage
Goal and Deployment Policy,which outlines statewide energy storage deployment goals of 1,500
Megawatts(MW) by 2025 and 3,000 MW by 2030. In support of these goals, KCE has over 725 MW of
energy storage projects in the New York Independent System Operator(NYISO)l interconnection queue,
of which 260 MW are located on Long Island. These energy storage queue positions throughout Long
Island have the potential to benefit ratepayers by decreasing the need for expensive, carbon emitting
fossil fuel generation and supporting the integration of renewable energy,specifically offshore wind and
solar,that is currently in development.
KCE proposes to lease a portion of the 60-acre Cutchogue Landfill Property for the construction of KCE
NY 26, a 60 MW Lithium-ion Battery Energy Storage System (BESS). Due to the weight of the batteries,
the capped landfill cannot support the load of a BESS. However, KCE has performed a desktop review of
the entire property and has determined that a section of the approximately ten-acre area located
directly northwest of the capped landfill is well positioned for the development and construction of a
'BESS including a project substation. There will be sufficient room for another developer to construct a
mounted solar photovoltaic(PV)array on the rest of the site. KCE is flexible with the exact location of
the BESS to minimize impact on the capped landfill's existing permits and any required maintenance.
Although this RFP was written for projects interconnected to distribution voltage, KCE has confirmed the
Town's willingness to receive bids for transmission connected utility-scale projects. KCE has provided
two separate lease proposals in this bid. In its first proposal (Lease Proposal#1), KCE is proposing to
construct a three-breaker ring bus Point of Interconnection (POI) substation along Middle Road in order
to interconnect KCE NY 26 to LIPA's existing 69 kV transmission grid. The POI station will be located on
the three-acre southernmost portion of the adjacent 17-acre property, in what appears to be a mulching
operation operated by Southold Solid Waste Management. This POI substation will require three acres,
including necessary setbacks from Middle Road. If this planned location is not feasible, KCE is exploring
alternative POI substation locations. The POI substation will require an easement for a 69 kV electric
line to connect to the project substation and BESS directly northwest of the capped landfill. KCE is
proposing a 0.5-mile easement as depicted in the provided layout in Figure 3 on page 11. If this
easement location does not work with the Town, KCE is flexible on the exact location and will coordinate
with the landfill's engineers.
The first proposal (Lease Proposal#1) is an annual lease'payment for approximately 6.5 acres northwest
of the capped landfill to build the BESS and project substation AND an additional three to four acres to
1 NYISO is a non-profit organization that manages NY's power grid and wholesale market
3 '
build the POI substation along Middle Road. KCE's second proposal (Lease Proposal#2) is an annual
lease payment for approximately 6.5 acres northwest of the capped landfill to build the BESS and project
substation.
KCE appreciates the opportunity to respond to this RFP and is happy to address any questions in
response to this proposal. If the Town of Southold awards a lease to both KCE NY 26 and a separate
solar energy system, KCE is willing to coordinate with the solar developer to ensure both projects will be
successfully developed and constructed.
Lease Terms
KCE proposes a 20-year lease for a portion of the Cutchogue Landfill property with two options to
extend the lease period by five years. Lease Proposal#1 will be set at$225,000 per year with a 2%
annual escalator. This lease price is inclusive of land required for an access road and electrical easement
connecting the BESS and project substation to the POI substation along Middle Road. Lease Proposal#2
will be set at$150,000 per year with a 2%annual escalator. This lease price is inclusive of the
approximately 6.5 acres required to build the POI and project substations, as well as an electrical
easement to the 69 kV system on Cox Lane. The lease contains a three-year due diligence option period '
with the ability to extend for one additional year. KCE will provide payments throughout this option
period,as detailed in Figure 1 on Page,5. During the due diligence period, KCE will complete all
appropriate environmental and engineering studies, obtain necessary local and state permits and
complete the electrical interconnection process. Once the due diligence process is complete, KCE will
convert its option to a lease. A detailed timeline of this due diligence process can be found in the
Project Schedule in Appendix A.
KCE anticipates executing this lease option and initiating annual payments on 6/30/2023. This schedule
is dependent on the speed at which KCE NY 26 advances through the NYISO Large Facility
Interconnection Procedures(LFIP). A description of these procedures is found in the Interconnection
section on page 20.
KCE maintains insurance for all its project and will provide sufficient coverage against any damage to the
landfill or Town facilities as part of KCE NY 26's policy. KCE is willing to review its policy with the Town
of Southold pending award of the lease contract.
The required Performance Bond outlined in the RFP is written for facilities that will participate in PSEG
Li's Feed in Tariff(FIT) program. The FIT program is not applicable to any standalone energy storage
projects, including KCE NY 26. KCE understands the Town may require certain assurances and is willing
to work with the Town to ensure their requirements are met.
KCE has a standard lease form that contemplates the due diligence structure listed below. KCE can
provide this standard form to the Town of Southold if requested.
Please find the terms for our proposed lease option in Figure 1 on the next page.

Professional Background and Experience
KCE is an Albany, NY-based energy storage developer,owner and operator with a focus on utility-
scale battery energy storage projects in the northeastern United States and Texas. KCE advances
battery storage projects throughout their lifecycle by selecting project sites, securing all necessary
permits, procuring full battery systems, managing construction and site commissioning and operating
the systems.
KCE is committed to the successful deployment of storage in New York State. KCE relocated its
headquarters from Houston,Texas to Albany, New York in 2018 in partnership with the University at
Albany and the state's START-UP NY program,administered by Empire State Development. Since
joining START-UP NY, Key Capture Energy has more than doubled the size of its New York team to 23
employees to advance the development of the company's portfolio of utility-scale battery energy
storage projects in New York. To further support its efforts to integrate into the state,the company
has hired several graduates the State University system and favors New York State based supplier
and service companies.
KCE developed, constructed,owns and operates the largest operational battery energy storage
system in the state, KCE NY 14,which is the first wholesale participating energy storage project to
receive a state Market Bridge Incentive from New York State Energy Research and Development
Authority(NYSERDA).
In October 2018, KCE was also awarded a 3 MW battery energy storage system for Orange and
Rockland's(0&R) Pomona Non-Wires Alternative. KCE worked with O&R on the development and
permitting of this project, KCE NY 3,and is currently managing construction. The project will be
operational by Q4 2020. Upon Commercial Operation Date (COD), KCE will transfer ownership to
O&R, and will operate and maintain the facility on behalf of O&R for five years.
In New York, KCE has acquired State Environmental Quality Review Act(SEQRA)"negative
declarations"from authorities having jurisdiction (AHJs) on over 260 MW of standalone battery
energy storage systems across five projects located in NYISO Zones A, F and G (Western New York,
the Capital Region and Hudson Valley).
In addition, KCE currently has three operational 9.9 MW battery storage projects in Texas, KCE TX 2,
KCE TX 8 and TX 7. KCE will begin construction on two 50 MW projects and one 100 MW project in
Texas later this year. KCE is actively developing an additional 500 MW of battery storage projects in
New York State.

Project Description & Site Layouts
Project Design
KCE NY 26 is a proposed 60 MW lithium-ion battery energy storage system (BESS). Utility-scale
lithium-ion BESS utilize battery cells similar to what is found in electric vehicles. These cells are
arranged into modules, which have sensors to monitor real time conditions within the enclosed
system. These modules are placed in racks that are built into containers custom-designed for the
needs of a BESS, including HVAC units, sensors, communications and control equipment and
specialized fire suppression equipment.
KCE proposes to install 216 battery containers. Each container will be 40 feet long and nine feet tall
and double stacked,with one container on top of another. 30 inverters and 30 medium voltage (MV)
transformers, located within their own respective containers to mitigate audial and visual impacts,
will be adjacent to every other stack of battery containers. KCE NY 26's proposed footprint for the
BESS facility measures approximately 3.5 acres and is depicted in the Site Layouts section on Page 11.
KCE NY 26 will utilize a project substation with a main power transformer to increase and decrease
the voltage of the energy leaving and entering the BESS. The voltage will change between the power
conversion system's(PCS)voltage, 34.5 kV,and the voltage of Long Island Power Authority's(LIPA)
transmission system, 69 M The project substation will require approximately 0.5 acres. It is
proposed to be located to the northeast of the battery containers. With additional space for
setbacks,grading, stormwater management and landscaping, KCE will require approximately 6.5
acres for the BESS and project substation.
7
From the project substation, a 69 kV electric line will lead to the project POI station. This is a three-
breaker ring bus that will allow the project to tap the existing 69 kV line located along Middle Road.
The footprint of the POI substation is 1.2 acres. With additional space for setbacks,grading and
landscaping, KCE will require approximately three acres for the POI substation.
For the purposes of this proposal, KCE assumes it will build KCE NY 26 with Powin Energy(Powin)as
the battery integrator. Headquartered in Portland, Oregon, Powin is a global leader in cost-effective,
safe and scalable BESS. KCE has worked with Powin and their battery modules to construct KCE TX 2,
KCE TX 7 and KCE TX 8. KCE is also working with Powin on KCE NY 3,which is under construction and
will be operational in Q4 2020. KCE will release a competitive battery RFP before mobilizing for
construction and may select another integrator should it receive a more competitive bid.
KCE is unable to provide specific warranties for its equipment at this time but will do so upon the
completion of its competitive battery and BOP RFPs.
Site Location
The Town of Southold's Cutchogue Landfill Property represents an optimal location for a BESS. PSEG
Long Island (PSEG LI) released a Request-for Information (RFI) in April 2020 to inform a non-wire
alternatives(NWA)'RFP that will be released later this year. The NWA RFP will procure 130 MW of
capacity within the North Fork to mitigate local grid constraints. As the housing and transportation
sector electrify and increase their reliance on the electric grid, energy demand increases in the North
Fork. Local energy generation within the North Fork is limited and is primarily composed of fossil fuel
generators. Since these carbon emitting generators.are costly to operate and cannot meet the
region's,peak demand, LIPA's 69 kV transmission lines must carry power from generators located
west of the North Fork.
KCE believes PSEG LI will be unable to procure the 130 MW of capacity requested in its NWA RFP
without procuring BESS and other energy storage technologies. A storage project will be able to
charge from renewable energy sources, like wind and solar, delivered to the North Fork during off-
peak hours and discharge on-peak as needed. Other generators face siting challenges and cannot
perform as flexibly as energy storage. At this time,there is no offshore wind planned to interconnect
at the North Fork. Additionally,the North Fork has significant land constraints making it unlikely for a
sizable solar array to be sited without the use of agriculturally protected land. While fossil fuel plants
are eligible for bidding,they will likely face challenges with the recent New York State Department of
Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) Nitrogen Oxide Emissions rule6.
KCE NY 26, located at the Cutchogue Landfill Property,will be capable of serving the North,Fork NWA
and will participate should it win this land lease RFP. KCE has performed a desktop review of the
Cutchogue Landfill Property and has determined that a section of the approximately ten-acre area
located directly northwest of the capped landfill is well positioned for the development and
construction of a BESS. It is proximate to LIPA's 69 kV electric lines,of an appropriate size and
located at a sufficient distance of nearby receptors.
5 NWAs are distributed energy resources(DERs)that provide a cheaper alternative to a costly distribution and/or
transmission upgrade that would be rate-based to PSEG LI customers
a https://www.dec.ny.gov/regulations/116131.html
8
• Proximity to either a LIPA substation or LIPA electric lines: KCE specializes in building
utility-scale energy storage systems interconnected to medium or high voltage transmission
lines. Although this RFP was written for projects interconnected to distribution voltage, KCE
has confirmed the Town's willingness to receive bids for transmission connected utility-scale
projects. KCE NY 26 is proposed to connect to the 69 kV electric line that runs along Middle
Road through a three-breaker ring bus POI station that will tap the existing 69kV line.
• Sufficient useable land: The developable portion of a BESS' parcel must:
o Be free of or 100 feet from wetlands.
o Have suitable gradient with less than 10%slope.
o Not disturb protected natural habitats, including land preserved through the Peconic
Land Trust.
o Be large enough to accommodate the energy storage facility,any project substation,
interconnection upgrades, project access and stormwater management.
o Meet the setback and sound requirements of the local municipality's zoning law.
KCE believes the Town of Southold landfill meets these criteria based on its desktop
analysis.
• Location: KCE prioritizes locations that will minimize impact on the character of the
neighborhood and wherever possible, it will site a BESS on industrially zoned land. KCE also
prioritizes locations that are farther from residences. The landfill represents an industrially
zoned lot with few sensitive receptors nearby. KCE has worked with local counsel to
perform a preliminary zoning assessment of the site,which is summarized in the Permitting
and Risk Analysis section on page 17.
KCE's selected lease area for the BESS is a portion of the ten flat,vacant acres to the northwest of the
capped landfill. The project cannot be built on top the capped landfill due to the weight of the
batteries. As such, if the Town of Southold selects KCE NY 26 as the winner of this RFP, it also may
select a second winner for the construction of a solar farm on top of the capped landfill and collect
income from two lease agreements. KCE is open to connecting with the respondent selected to build
the PV energy system on the capped landfill,.if the Town of Southold elects to do so,to ensure
coordinated development between the two projects.
While KCE will require approximately 6.5 acres of the ten acres northwest of the capped landfill for
its proposed project, KCE is flexible as to the exact location of its lease area. KCE NY 26's location in
the site layouts starting on Page 11 were carefully chosen in order to avoid steep slopes; however,
KCE recognizes that this land may be used as a stormwater pollution prevention (SWPPP)catch,basin
for the capped landfill. If selected, KCE will work with its engineering consultant and the landfill's
engineer to design KCE NY 26 so that landfill operations will not be impacted.
KCE proposes to access the BESS through the existing roads on the Cutchogue landfill. KCE plans to
use an existing road that leads to the northern vacant parcel. KCE would like to coordinate with the
landfill's engineer and management team to confirm that this is the optimal route to access the site
and to minimize impact to the landfill.
KCE will also require a POI substation to tap the existing 69 kV transmission line, currently proposed
on the southern edge of the existing mulching operation to the south of the Cutchogue Landfill.
While KCE believes this location is optimal for the POI substation, KCE will coordinate with the Town's
9
engineer and the Cutchogue Landfill management team to better understand existing operations to
find the optimal location. If there is insufficient room on the landfill property for a POI substation,
KCE has alternate interconnection options that would allow the BESS project and project substation
to remain in the same place. KCE is happy to provide further information on these options if
requested. '
Finally,,KCE will require a 69 kV electric line to connect the project substation to the POI station. KCE
proposes,that this easement will be between the edge-of the capped landfill and the property
boundary, as depicted in the Site Layouts section starting on page 11. While the layouts depict an
overhead)electric line to minimize impact to the capped landfill, KCE is open to exploring whether an
underground line is feasible by performing a geotechnical assessment. KCE is flexible to the exact
routing of this easement and is willing to work with the Town of Southold following the completion of
this assessment.

Project Schedule
The KCE NY 26 Project Schedule is found in Appendix A. KCE's provided schedule uses the best-case
assumption that the Town of Southold will select a winning bidder within three weeks of receiving
bids.The entire schedule will be adjusted depending on the actual award date and land lease
contract execution.
Development
Permitting
KCE has successfully obtained negative declarations in the SEQRA process for five BESS projects
ranging from 3 MW—200 MW in towns stretching from the Hudson Valley to the Capital District to
Western New York. For each of these projects, KCE selected counsel and consultants with local
experience to ensure that the project team covered of all required knowledge areas, as well as
familiarity with the local political and socioeconomic environment. KCE is actively developing
projects throughout Long Island and has built its core team of consultants and counsel that will
support the due diligence and permitting process for KCE NY 26 in the Town of Southold ("KCE
Team").
Following selection by the Town of Southold,the KCE Team will obtain the identified permits listed
below. The KCE Team will complete all necessary site studies on the proposed lease area including a
wetland delineation, boundary and topographic survey, Phase 1 ESA, cultural and historical resources
assessment and geotechnical investigation. KCE will create a conceptual design that will be
presented to the Town of Southold supervisor, Planning Board members and the landfill engineer.
KCE will coordinate with the landfill engineer to ensure that the conceptual design considers existing
operations.
The Suffolk County Tax Map indicates that the approximately 60.10-acre Cutchogue Landfill is zoned
Light Industrial ("LI"). Public utilities are an allowed use within the LI zoning district with a Special
Exception Permit from the Zoning Board of Appeals(ZBA). KCE believes the project will classify as a
public utility based on experience permitting other BESS projects in New York. KCE will request a
meeting with the Code Enforcement Officer to confirm our understanding of the Town Code's
application to KCE NY 26 is correct. Given its zoning determination and preferred use-case, KCE has
identified the following local permits and approvals needed to build KCE NY 26:
Local Permits and Approvals
• Zoning Board of Appeals(ZBA)Special Exception Permit: KCE believes that KCE NY 26 will
be classified as a public utility based on previous experience permitting in New York. Public
Utilities are permitted uses in the LI zoning district with a Special Exception Use Permit.
• Town Planning Board Site Plan Application
• Architectural Review Committee Review
• SEQRA Negative Declaration
• Suffolk County Planning Commission Approval: Pursuant to New York State General
Municipal Law§239-m(3),Suffolk County Planning Commission ("SCPC") referral will also be
required in connection with any required ZBA or Planning Board application since the
Property is located on Middle Road,a County roadway(CR 48).
17
• Suffolk County Department of Public Works("SCDPW")Work Permit: The Property is
located adjacent to Suffolk County Route CR 48 (Middle Road). The Team determined that
per§239(F)of the New York State General Municipal Law, a work permit prior to any
construction of a curb cut onto any roadway shown on the"county official map" is required.
Accordingly, KCE acknowledges that a DPW work permit will likely be required to make any
modifications to the existing ingress/egress Middle Road if the same are required by the
Town.
• Town of Southold Building Permit
• Town of Southold Sign Permit
• Town of Southold Electrical Permit
State Permits and Approvals
• NYSDEC Wetland Permits: KCE does not anticipate wetlands on the site. If wetlands under
NYSDEC jurisdiction are delineated within the site and the project impacts either the
wetland or the 100 feet buffer from the wetlands, NYSDEC permitting may be required.
• State Historic Preservation Office(SHPO)Letter of No Effect: KCE does not anticipate any
cultural and historical resources will be impacted by KCE NY 26. KCE will obtain a Letter of
No Effect from SHPO confirming this.
• NYSDEC Post-Closure Modification Permits: The RFP states that the Contractor is
responsible for requesting and obtaining approval from the Region 1 NYSDEC for Post-
Closure Modification of Landfill permit. KCE NY 26 will be located on the vacant land
directly north of the capped landfill and does not anticipate an analysis or approval will be
required for DEC requirements regarding(a) impact on liner cap, (b) load bearing analysis or
(e)gas monitoring. KCE will hire a consultant to perform site studies, including a Phase 1
ESA,cultural and historical resources assessment and a geotechnical investigation to
determine if DEC approval is needed for,Post-Closure Modification permit requirements
pertaining to(c)settlement analysis, (d)slope stability,(f)water runoff impact and (g)
impact on landfill maintenance. KCE has received the Cutchogue Landfill Final Grading Plans
from the Town of Southold's Assistant Town Attorney that will be used to perform due
diligence on the site once an engineering consultant is onboarded.
Community Impacts
KCE will utilize its extensive experience permitting, constructing and operating BESS projects in New
York and Texas as it identifies and mitigates,to the greatest extent possible, any community impacts
that may arise from KCE NY 26's construction and operations. KCE recognizes that KCE NY 26 is in
close proximity to public rights of way and sensitive receptors, including Waters Crest Winery,
residences on the opposite side of Cox Lane and multiple industrial facilities. KCE anticipates impacts
at this location will arise from construction activities,sound from the project's point sources,the
project's visual impact and how the community perceives the project's safety. Each will be addressed
as follows:
1) Construction Activities: KCE will work closely with the selected BESS provider, the selected
BOP contractor and PSEG LI to ensure that construction activities are scheduled and
sequenced in a manner that ensures construction safety. By sequencing workflow, KCE will
limit activity on the site and construction traffic in the surrounding area: Pertinent
18
governmental and neighborhood organizations will be consulted in the development of
KCE's construction schedule and notified upon completion. Appropriate signage will be
posted in advance of any activity to ensure the surrounding community has avenues to
contact appropriate personnel should any issue or concern arise. KCE recognizes and
accepts the Town of Southold's request that all construction and demolition waste disposal
comply with all applicable Federal,State and Local Regulations.
2) Sound: KCE has experience modeling and minimizing their projects' auditory impact on
their surrounding communities. This will be accomplished for KCE NY 26 by using Cadna/A
or a similar software to model each point source individually and cumulatively while,
considering surrounding structures and topography. KCE will then perform a conservative
case for atmospheric conditions which encourages sound propagation. KCE will carefully
consider the use of various techniques to limit sound impact to sensitive receptors to the
greatest extent practicable. This will include consideration of sound absorbing barriers. KCE
will also consult with stakeholders and inform them of the construction schedule to
minimize the impact of construction noise.
3) Visual: KCE will seek to design the system in a manner which ensures that the layout of the
proposed projects seeks to create a visually harmonious view from surrounding public right
of ways and adjacent parcels.Visual impact will be further minimized through appropriate
landscaping.
4) Project Safety: KCE treats BESS safety as the primary goal for any project. KCE NY 26 will be
designed to meet or exceed all applicable standards, including those imposed by local AHJs,
state policies regarding BESS systems and all appropriate technical standards. KCE will
perform the following actions to ensure safety is met onsite:
• Upon notification of award of this RFP, KCE will meet with the Southold Fire Department
Chief to discuss any comments or concerns pertaining to the site design. KCE will
continue communication throughout the design process.
• All appropriate plans, designs and records will be publicly available for the review of the
local community.
• KCE has read and understands NFPA,855 regulations. KCE will require the BESS vendor
to meet all applicable regulations and requirements including NFPA 855. Powin
equipment already complies with these regulations.
• KCE is monitoring the status of International Fire Code (IFC) 2021. The New York
Department of State (DOS) Energy Storage System Supplement was based on IFC 2021,
though IFC 2021 has not been released to the public yet. Upon release of IFC 2021, KCE
will thoroughly review to ensure compliance.
• KCE will conduct a training session detailing the project,the battery technology,all
applicable fire codes and emergency response plans prior to construction with all first
responders at the Southold Fire Department and any mutual aid departments that wish
to participate in the training.
• During construction and operations there will be clear and actionable signage which
includes 24/7 contact information.
• During operations, KCE NY 26 will be monitored remotely 24/7 by trained personnel.
• KCE NY 26 will feature a Battery Monitoring System (BMS)that monitors operating
conditions, including temperature and voltage, at the cell, module and rack level and
19
will shut down cells, modules, racks, or the entire project, as appropriate, if any
permissible operating conditions are'exceeded. In addition,the integrated Fire
Suppression System which is specifically designed to handle this application will be an
additional safeguard.
• KCE will conduct a second training session on-site prior to the project's commercial
operation date (COD). Mutual aid departments will also be invited to join the meeting.
KCE has included its OSHA 300&300A Forms in Appendix C.
Interconnection
PSEG LI Technical Requirements
As previously stated,this RFP was initially written for distribution connected projects participating in
PSEG LI's Feed-In Tariff(FIT). The FIT program is not applicable to any standalone energy storage
projects. KCE is working with the NYISO and PSEG LI to ensure KCE NY 26 can feasibility interconnect
to LIPA's transmission system. KCE has outlined the project's interconnection process below.
KCE NY 26's Interconnection Process:
• KCE submitted an interconnection request(IR)to the NYISO for KCE NY 26 on 4/22/20 and
the project is following the Large Facility Interconnection Procedures(LFIP). KCE held a
Scoping Meeting with NYISO and the transmission system owner(TSO),which in this case is
PSEG LI on behalf of LIPA,on 7/2/20 to review the IR. '
• NYISO has initiated the first in a series of studies with KCE and PSEG LI to determine the
required upgrades on the transmission system necessary to interconnect the project. KCE
elected to participate in an Optional Feasibility Study(FES)on 7/10/20.The FES is a four to
five-month study that will provide KCE with information about the feasibility of its proposed
interconnection.
• After completion of the FES, KCE will advance to the System Reliability Impact Study(SRIS)
which will last approximately six to nine months. This study will determine the cost to
interconnect KCE NY 26 to the local electric grid. Upon completion, KCE will have an
estimate of the project's interconnection costs and timeline.
• Once the SRIS study is complete,the project will commence the facility study.At this point,
it is eligible to be studied as part of the NYISO"Class Year". During the Class Year, enhanced
electrical studies will be performed to make a final determination for the interconnection
costs and to determine the project's impact on the grid alongside all the other large
generators being studied in the region. The process is intended to be annual,though the
timeline,is variable. The current Class Year started in August 2019 and is scheduled to be
completed in December 2020. KCE anticipates that this project would begin the Class Year
process in Q12022 and end the process in Q2 of 2023.
• Once the Class Year studies are complete, KCE will decide whether to accept KCE NY 26's
interconnection costs and sign an interconnection agreement(IA)with the NYISO and LIPA.
This would commence the construction of any required upgrades to connect the proposing
facility. Pending the timeline of these upgrades, KCE NY 26 will be ready for construction
and, as such,will execute its option to lease the Town of Southold's land.

Electrical Line Diagram
The Town of Southold requested a Three-Line Diagram of bidder's proposed projects. Three-line
diagrams are not typically completed for the medium voltage configurations for a project of this size.
A typical three-line diagram for a project of this size would only show high voltage equipment(i.e.the
projelct substation connection to the PSEG equipment).
A three-line diagram for KCE NY 26 would show the same medium voltage (MV)cable connection
configuration at each step-up transformer connected repeatedly one after another. For each
repeated section, inverters and transformers are close coupled with busbar;the same one-for-one in
each instance. One-line diagrams are more typical for demonstrating the MV collection system for a
project of this size because they show the cable size and length between pad mount transformers.
KCE has included the one-line diagram for KCE NY 26 in Appendix D. KCE can provide a three-line
diagram for the project, should the Town of Southold request it after the award of the RFP.
Construction
KCE's Third-Party Contractor Qualifications
Battery Integrator
KCE will release a competitive battery RFP approximately one year prior to mobilizing for
construction to assess battery technology improvements and industry consolidation,for which
changes are expected to be significant as the industry matures. KCE expects the RFP results to
show some or all of the following when compared to today's technology:
• higher levels of reliability,with corresponding improvements in availability
• lower degradation rates, leading to lower augmentation costs and fewer maintenance
outages to maintain capacity
• higher energy density, leading to smaller footprints, reduced construction costs and less
environmental impact
• higher efficiencies, resulting in smaller BESS to achieve the same AC capacity
• lower auxiliary power requirements
• better safety features, protecting community stakeholders, KCE employees and the
environment
Currently, KCE has relationships with MHPS, RES,Tesla, Fluence,Samsung, Hyosung,GE and BYD,
who all offer similar solutions to the Powin system which was assumed for this proposal.
EPC Contractor
While KCE will complete the development and oversee the construction of the project, KCE will
hire an EPC contractor to support the construction of the work. Upon selection of the battery
integrator, KCE will release an RFP for the EPC contractor. KCE selects contractors based on the
following qualifications:
• Financial status and credit rating
• Management capability
• Contractors previous experience of similar size projects and technology
• Experience Modification Rate (EMR)
21
• Safety and OSHA incident rate
• Experience of technical personnel (resumes)
• Geographic territory and previous customers
• Contractors current bandwidth and backlog
KCE will choose from a list of preferred EPC bidders and give preference to local firms.An initial
shortlist includes Pike Electric, MJ Electric(Quanta), O'Connell Electric, Matrix NAC, McPhee, RES,
Black and McDonald, Fagen, Mortenson Construction or a contractor of equivalent experience.
BESS Codes and Standards
KCE is committed to ensuring that appropriate precautionary measures and safety checks are put in
place. KCE's engineering, construction and operation and management teams review all new
pertinent regulations that are released at the local,state and federal level to ensure that KCE's
projects are always in compliance. KCE NY 26 will be required to comply with the following codes
and standards:
Figure 8
Applicable Code Component Part Covered
2018 International Fire Code (IFC)or 2021 IFC pending release Whole System

UL 1642 Battery Cell
UL 2054 Battery Cell
IEC 62281 Battery Cell Transportation
KCE will ensure that any changes or additions to the codes released prior to the Building Permit are
incorporated into the design.
Delivery, Storage and Handling
KCE will work with appropriately licensed transportation companies for the delivery of all system
components. It is typically the responsibility of the battery vendor to deliver the BESS to the site.
KCE will manage all vendors to ensure safe and responsible delivery,storage and handling of
equipment. All installation manuals will be maintained on-site and provided to the building
inspector.
KCE is willing to coordinate with local and neighboring school districts to minimize overlap with
school bus schedules and routes.
Waste Removal
All construction and demolition waste will comply will all applicable Federal, State and Local
Regulations. While soil removal is not anticipated, KCE will contract with an appropriately certified
22
hauler for any necessary soil removal. Any other materials that are required to be removed
throughout construction and operations will be the responsibility of KCE or KCE's selected EPC
contractor. KCE will be responsible for ensuring the safe and acceptable removal of waste.
Due to the project's location, adjacent to the capped landfill rather than on top of it, KCE does not
anticipate any damage to the landfill. KCE will work with the Town's engineers during the design
phase to minimize the risks to the landfill,waste collection center, service roads and other existing
municipal land. By addressing risks early in the design phase, KCE will aim to address potential
hazards prior to construction commencement. Any damage will be repaired and restored by KCE.
The safe and appropriate removal of decommissioning waste will be addressed in the final
Decommissioning Plan. For a representative decommissioning plan, please see Appendix E.
Construction Risk
The Cutchogue Capped Landfill is adjacent to KCE NY 26's proposed site location. KCE will hire a
consultant to perform site studies, including a Phase 1 ESA, cultural and historical resources
assessment, endangered species assessment and a geotechnical investigation. These studies will be
used to confirm the site's suitability for a BESS and will be completed approximately six months after
executing the land lease contract. As stated in the RFP,the installed system shall not prevent ,
operation and maintenance of the cap, including gas venting and storm water runoff into collection
basins via swales. KCE will coordinate with the Town Engineers to limit impact to the existing landfill
operations. KCE will work with NYSDEC to obtain any post-closure modification'permits necessary to
amend the capped landfill's SWPPP in conjunction with the creation of KCE NY 26's SWPPP.
Cutchogue Landfill's Final Grading Plans show that KCE NY 26's proposed location is at a much lower
elevation than the top of the capped landfill and surrounding area. KCE also referenced the U.S.
Department of Interior's U.S. Geological Survey and determined that there is a shallow depth to
water table directly below the proposed site location of KCE NY 26. KCE's engineering consultant will
address this risk early in the due diligence process to appropriately design the facility.
Project Commissioning '
Commissioning plans for electrical facilities are agreed upon by the owner,the battery integrator,the
utility and the BOP contractor. Project specific commissioning plans are created once batteries are
ordered-and the BOP contractor has been selected. The commissioning'plan is strictly adhered to for,
construction, energization and initial testing.
The commissioning plan will include a description of all equipment to be installed on the site. It will
describe all personnel associated with the project, including:
• Key Capture Energy project manager
• Key Capture Energy site manager
• BOP contractor site manager
• Electrical contractor site manager
• Battery vendor project manager
The first stage of the commissioning process will be component testing per industry standards. If unique
components are installed,those procedures will be added to the plan prior to testing. Component
testing will include, but not be limited to,the testing of:
23
• Vacuum Circuit Breakers
• Air Break Switches
• Potential Transformers
• Current Transformers
• Breaker Current Transformers
• Surge Arresters
• Buses
• Protection and Control Cabinets
• Relays
I
The second stage of the commission process will be functionality testing. It will consist of:
• Inspection of the physical layout to ensure it matches design
• Point to point wire checks compared to the wiring diagrams
• General Functions Test:
o Operation of systems to demonstrate all components have been installed correctly and
meet desired function.
o Perform functionality checks with all units fully wired and auxiliaries functioning.
• Secondary AC Current and Voltage Circuits
• DC Control Circuits
• Auxiliary Circuits
• Service Reads
• Fire Suppression and Safety Systems
Prior to all testing, and after final decisions are made on services providers and products to be used,
documentation would be supplied to the building inspector outlining the conditions of testing and said
qualified entities performing these.
Operations and Maintenance
KCE NY 26 is designed to be an unmanned facility that will be operated and monitored remotely by
trained personnel 24/7. Its Operation and Maintenance(O&M) Plan will be based on the O&M manual
from the battery'and other equipment vendors and will be provided upon vendor selection. The 0&M
plan will be compliant with all appropriate federal, state and local laws and manufacturers
recommendations through their supplied O&M material. The project O&M Manual will consolidate all
necessary and prescribed maintenance schedules for all components in the system. The 0&M will be
led by KCE's Operations and Maintenance Manager. It will likely be completed by an outside firm with
expertise in medium and high voltage electrical systems. The maintenance schedules will include work
for on-site inspections and preventative maintenance. The schedule will include daily and weekly
remote inspections, plus monthly,quarterly,or yearly on-site inspections as appropriate for specific
components of the project. Maintenance logs will be maintained and recorded for all appropriate work
completed at the facility. This will include:
• Facility Inspection, Cleaning and Maintenance once a quarter
• Electrical Inspections once a quarter
• System Calibration
• Power Conversion System Maintenance
24
• Switchgear Preventive Inspection
• Medium-Voltage Vacuum CB Preventive Inspection
• Protective Relays Preventive Inspection
• Substation Transformers Preventive Inspection
• Fire Alarm Test and Inspect
• System Augmentation
• Equipment Replacement(as needed)
KCE will select an O&M Contractor based upon the final BESS vendor and design used for the system.
0&M will be managed by KCE directly overseeing a qualified third-party provider. The third-party
provider may be the BESS integrator or another qualified service party. KCE will provide a copy of the
O&M manual to Town of Southold to reference when the third-party provider is selected.
Battery Augrnentation
Just like cell phone batteries, utility scale lithium ion batteries slowly degrade over time, resulting in
decreased capacity as the project ages. To ensure KCE NY 26 can maintain its full 60 MW capacity
throughout its operating life, KCE will augment the system every five to seven years,starting in the
fifth year of operations. This augmentation will consist of adding new containers to the site and new
battery racks to existing containers. KCE will permit the system with consideration of all
augmentation that will need to occur throughout the project lifespan.
The augmentation will be coordinated with the Town of Southold and the landfill management to
ensure that the landfill operations are not impacted. KCE is willing to provide further information on
the augmentation schedule and process if requested by the Town of Southold.
Decommissioning
KCE creates a decommissioning plan prior to project commissioning and is updated throughout the
project's operational lifetime to adhere to current standards and take advantage of new industry
insights. The decommissioning plan considers:
1. Regulatory compliance, including all hazardous waste handling requirements
2. On-site equipment and plan to decommission the facility
3. Packaging and transport of batteries,specifically to ensure compliance with hazardous material
transport laws
4. Record retainment for final compliance
KCE continues to explore the best option for recycling batteries at the end of their lifetime. While direct
recycling,where old batteries are purified and regenerated into new batteries, is not commercially
viable in the US yet, KCE will continue to track this progress to ensure that appropriate recycling is
considered. Both pyrometallurgic and hydrometallurgic recycling options exist within the US today and
will be considered for all end of life batteries to reduce environmental impact.
A representative Decommissioning Plan can be found in Appendix E.
Conclusion
KCE appreciates the opportunity to respond to the Town of Southold's RFP to lease land on the
Cutchogue Landfill. KCE believes a utility-scale BESS is necessary on the North Fork to respond to
25
existing local congestion on the electric grid. KCE NY 26, proposed to be located on the Cutchogue
Landfill Property, would be an effective tool for LIPA to store cheaper,greener energy during off-peak
hours and discharge on-peak. This will reduce dependent on fossil fuels and increase reliability of the
electric grid in this region, benefiting all ratepayers.
KCE is eager to work with the Town of Southold and the Cutchogue Landfill engineers to design a BESS
system that will work in conjunction with the landfill's existing operations and potentially a PV energy
project located on the capped landfill.
KCE is available to address any questions the Town may have about KCE NY 26 or this proposal.
