Neville Town Clerk 53095 Main Road Southold,New York 11971 Transmittal Letter: Proposal for Leasing of the Cutchogue Landfill Property for Renewable Energy Dear Ms.Neville, BQ Energy Development (BQ Energy) is pleased to offer this proposal to develop, construct, commission, own, operate, and maintain a 3.9 MWDC solar energy project and a 2.5 MW/9,920 kWh battery system on the closed Cutchogue Landfill. The landfill would annually supply 5053 MWh of electricity to the surrounding community at a substantial savings,just as we are doing in other areas around the state. We have visited the landfill and analyzed the site. Based on our observations and experience, we are confident we can deliver a high-quality project that will result in long-term financial benefit to the Town and its residents while maintaining the integrity of the landfill. In exchange for putting our solar system on the landfill, we will pay the Town of Southold property taxes,rent, and mow the portion of landfill within our leased area. In April of this year, BQ Energy submitted a proposal in response to this Southold RFP. Shortly after our proposal arrived there, we received an email which advised that due to the COVID 19 pandemic, the Town would not be evaluating that submittal at that time. To be efficient, and with the permission of the Town, we have chosen not to reprint our entire submittal since our qualifications have not materially changed in the ensuing 3 months. This transmittal does have a few material commercial changes as we have raised the offer price in this July submittal above the level that we had proposed in the April submittal. We are now proposing a fixed land rent price of$225,000 per year' BQ Energy only develops utility-scale solar energy projects on landfills and brownfields. Based in the Hudson Valley, and in business since 2002, our team has built numerous such projects during the last 5 years. We own and operate 20MW of those projects. Please find a table of recently completed landfill and brownfield projects as Attachment 1 to this letter. Please note that we have also attached a press release and a newspaper article from two projects that were announced in the three months since our original submittal. These materials are included in Section D of this revised submittal. We should also note that we are the only developer who has actually built a landfill based solar project in Suffolk County (in Kings Park). Despite being a small business, we have developed far more operating solar projects on landfills than any other solar firm has. Many solar companies talk about solar on landfills. BQ Energy builds solar on landfills. As we separately communicated to the Town of Southold last month, PSEG/LIPA has stated that they expect to release a RFP for solar/batteries on the North Fork Q3 2020. We designed this project to qualify for this RFP. Because of the tight timing we encourage the Town to select a winner as expediently as possible in order to prepare for and be able to respond to that RFP. Upon notice of Leasing of the Southold Cutchogue Landfill Property for Renewable Energy July 17, 2020 selection, we would immediately begin designs, initiate the PSEG Interconnection Process and, with the consent of the Town, seek approval from NYSDEC for a modification to the existing landfill Work Plan in anticipation of the RFP. BQ Energy has experience from our Kings Park project in working with the entire LIPA process from contracts to operation, so we know what is involved in being selected and developing a winning project. We look forward to working with you on this exciting project.

Appendix 7—Recent Press (electronic version,printed and included in body of updated proposal) BQ Energy Development LLC Page 4 of 22 Leasing of the Southold Cutchogue Landfill Property for Renewable Energy July 17, 2020 B. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY BQ Energy is proposing to build a solar system at the Cutchogue Landfill Property located at 6155 Cox Lane, Cutchogue, NY. We propose a 3 MWac solar project on the landfill with a 2.5 MW battery system. This design and size will allow us to bid into the upcoming PSEG RFP as it is currently outlined. It was not possible to obtain material information regarding the Waste Collection Center referenced in the RFP. We are pleased to expand our landfill proposal to incorporate that aspect after selection. In return for the use of the Landfill Property, we propose the following arrangement: • Pay the Town a Site Lease Option fee of$10,000/yr. for exclusive rights to develop the solar projects for a period of 3 years. • Initiate'the PSEG Interconnection Process. • With the consent of the Town,we would seek approval from the NYSDEC for a modification to the existing Landfill Work Plan; we have been working with NYSDEC (including Region 1) for many years on these types of approvals, and we expect it to be a straight-forward process. • Following construction, lease the landfill per our terms in Section F at a flat rate of $225,000/year • Relieve the Town of the costs of maintaining the landfill, as we will maintain the vegetative cover and install a fence around our system to restrict public access. As further described in this proposal, our projects would be designed, built and operated to maintain the integrity of the landfill and other Town assets. We will interconnect to PSEG's area infrastructure under the New York State Standardized Interconnection Requirements for Distributed Generation. The solar plants would require a transformer and a small amount of switchgear; this equipment is located at the site but off the landfill. As we prepared this response for The Town of Southold, we completed a self-scoring analysis to ensure that we answer each of your requirements as completely as possible. We have included that analysis on the next page for your convenience. BQ Energy Development LLC Page 5 of 22 Leasing of the Southold Cutchogue Landfill Property for Renewable Energy July 17, 2020 jB.1 SELF-SCORING ANALYSIS BQ Energy has provided this Self Scoring Analysis based on Southold evaluation criteria as outlined in the RFP and BQ past experience with that criteria: a.

We have attached a brief Statement of Qualifications from STEM to this amended proposal. BQ-Energy Development LLC Page 10 of 22 Leasing of the Southold Cutchogue Landfill Property for Renewable Energy July 17, 202'0 BQ Energy is a specialized renewable energy development firm. Our experience has taught us that the best practices for our industry is to stay small and continue to focus our efforts on a narrowly defined market sector (getting projects built on closed landfills and brownfields). Our staffing varies with the projects that we have under development and we rely on outside experts for legal, environmental accounting, and other support services. Our core team is approximately ten to twelve professionals, most of whom are directly working on project development work. It is not uncommon that most of our core team will be involved in some aspect of the project at some point in time. We work with high quality firms who are experts in their area of expertise. We bring in the right staff at the right time. For example we hired Seth Handy for a project we are building for the Newport Navy because of his expertise on RI law and Remote Net Metering Credits (RNMC)we are utilizing for that project. We will do the same as required for Southold. BQ Energy is proud of its success rate in committing to projects and getting them built. Part of the reason for that success is we have multiple companies we can turn to, each with experience working with us in order to meet cost and timelines of any specific project. We will bring in the right personnel at the right time and price to meet the timing and cost parameters for each project we are selected for. Construction will take about 6 months after earth is first moved. BQ Energy will contract with high quality construction companies that have deep experience in construction of solar energy projects. The type of company we look forward to working with on this opportunity include Conti and Miller Brothers. The chosen firms will be based on their expertise and ability to meet the cost and timing of this project. BQ Energy pioneered and has refined construction procedures for landfill solar projects, and we have an excellent relationship with the regulatory agencies we have worked with because of it. Whether we are doing the work in house, or managing outside personnel we have the experience to deliver quality installations as our track record shows. D. DEVELOPER EXPERIENCE The Section below has not changed, we have enclosed an April 2020 Press Release on our Yates County NY project and also a July 2020 Columbus Dispatch article regarding our Columbus Ohio project. Both these leases (see Appendix 7 in electronic copy of proposal) were signed after our April 2020 submittal. BQ Energy specializes in brownfields and landfill solar development, and we have constructed over 50,000 kW of brownfield-sited solar in the last five years. Out of that 50,000 kW, 26,000 kW have been on landfills and 24,000 kW have been on brownfields. We are arguably the most experienced and successful landfill solar developer in the northeast. We execute all our projects diligently, constantly improve our execution practices, incorporate lessons learned after each project, and have excellent relationships with key providers (e.g., designers, environmental engineers, equipment suppliers, environmental regulators, and municipalities etc.). BQ has extensive experience with the NYSDEC and we work with them to improve and refine our construction techniques to keep environmental impacts to the absolute minimum. BQ Energy has developed several techniques and standard practices for managing risks on closed landfills. We were the company that helped create the permit process in Massachusetts and perfected it in Connecticut and New York, where environmental regulations are some of the strictest in the country. A Health and Safety Plan BQ Energy Development LLC Page 11 of 22 Leasing of the Southold Cutchogue Landfill Property for Renewable Energy July 17, 2020 specifically tailored to this site will be developed and given to the DEC detailing restrictions on types of vehicles permitted on the landfill, a routine for gas monitoring, restrictions on open flames, including smoking, and other safeguards to protect the landfill and its infrastructure. All workers on the site will be required to undergo safety training to protect themselves and the landfill from potential hazard. Additionally, the components of the solar system will be designed specifically to ensure they do not pose any risk to the landfill, the environment, personnel or the community around them. BQ staff has extensive experience putting solar on NY landfills and we bring in the right people to complement our team as necessary. Communication is one of our trademarks of success and we will foster an environment where that communication between all stakeholders results in a well-built project completed near term for the Town.

TECHNICAL PROPOSAL Design layouts, system details and Harvest Report can be found in Appendix 2, including system sizes, quantity of modules, and location and type of inverters. We use PVSyst instead of PV Watts as it gives us a wider range of inputs allowing us more accuracy. We have used it in all of our projects. The results of that analysis are included in Appendix 2. The projects that we are proposing will interconnect under the NYS Standard Interconnect Requirements. The NYSIR applies to projects under 5 MW-AC that interconnect on the distribution network and get their revenue under the VDER tariff. We are proposing a 3.9 MW DC, 3.0 MW AC system on the landfill surface. We will be utilizing SMA Sunny High Power Peaks -125 US with Hanwha 40OW modules at a 25-degree tilt and 180- degree azimuth on GameChange ballasted racking. System sizing is subject to change as the site is analyzed in detail and the project progresses. System sizing is also largely dependent on the existing utility infrastructure in the area. Additionally we will propose a system on the roof of the Waste Collection building onsite. Although significantly smaller we will propose to sell that power to the Town at a discount to current rates. We wish to get access to building plans and Town electric information in order to give a proper proposal on the building. Equipment specification sheets and warranty information have been included in Appendix 3. BQ has largely standardized around the equipment listed below. We find that these top-tier manufactures provide the best quality equipment which lead to easy construction and long-term maintenance. Racking: GameChange Ballasted BQ Energy has used GameChange racking on almost all of our projects. Based in New York City and manufactured in Detroit, GameChange is a landfill solar pioneer. Their pour in place and precast ballast racking has allowed us to develop many landfill projects that were previously considered unbuildable. Modules: Hanwha—Q.PLUS,40OW BQ Energy is planning to use Hanwha Q.Cells 40OW panels for this project. Designed in Germany and manufactured in Georgia, United States; Hanwha is widely considered the Rolls Royce of panels. Hanwha makes their own silicon cells, ensuring high quality control. BQ Energy has these panels installed on several sites and had panels tested for reliability by an independent lab; the lab determined these were among the best panels they' ve reviewed. We have a strong relationship with Hanwha staff and are very pleased with their products performance on our sites. Panels are backed with a 25-year warranty. BQ Energy Development LLC Page 13 of 22 Leasing of the Southold Cutchogue Landfill Property for Renewable Energy July 17, 2020 Inverter: SMA-America SUNNY HIGHPOWER Inverters BQ Energy is specifying SMA Highpower String Inverters on this project. SMA produces high- quality inverters that we have specified on all our string inverter sites that are in currently in development and construction do to their high quality and robustness. SMA is a leader in the industry with a great reputation and they stand firmly behind their products. Batteries: Sungrow 8.5.1.A-2500-9920 AC Coupled Battery System We plan to install a Sungrow 2,500kw/9,920kWh battery system at the site. The Sungrow battery is a scalable battery system that will be charged using solar power, discharging power during peak hours, when the sun is setting and at night. The battery system will provide critical peak demand services for the utility grid. The battery system will be automatically configured to respond to grid demand as requested by the utility through a third party monitoring system. The battery is backed by a warranty that is expected to last 20 years based on proposed usage. Monitoring System: AlsoEnergy AlsoEnergy, based in Boulder, Colorado, was founded in 2007 to provide software - as - a - service monitoring solutions for the energy market, with a focus on solar PV. A1soEnergy's mission is to enable the adoption of clean energy technologies by providing end - to - end turnkey solutions that monitor and manage renewable energy systems. AlsoEnergy is ranked by GTM Research as the top - selling independent solar monitoring provider in North America (and the fifth largest worldwide) monitoring 6 GW of energy at 17,000 sites worldwide. AlsoEnergy offers hundreds of tools and reports to monitor a site for output, alarms, and invoicing to help keep a site operating smoothly. Their equipment is backed by a 5 - year warranty. The Town will be given access to view the site's power generation using a computer or smartphone at any time. The tracking system also issues alerts if production is lower than expected or it detects equipment failure. BQ Energy will also make publicly available a website displaying real-time and historical production values as well as predicted values through Also Energy. The website would show the effect of weather on solar energy production and includes rotating facts about the amount of energy being produced. These facts include how many homes could be powered at that time, how many cars on the road could be offset at that time, and other environmental details.

PROPOSAL NARRATIVE G.1 SCHEDULE Table 4 below shows an abbreviated schedule; a detailed timeline can be found in Appendix 4. The foundation of a working schedule begins with engaging experienced talent, laying out tasks and objectives and effectively communicating from concept to Commercial Operation. The only effective way to efficiently develop and build a solar system is by keeping in constant contact with all stakeholders. During initial stages we would talk a couple of times a month, more as required. During active stages we will have a standing weekly call to make sure all is moving according to plan and everyone is aware of what is going on and understands their role and the pieces they need to execute with timelines. We take these calls seriously in order to keep the project effectively moving forward. Additionally, we meet in Town offices, or on site as required to effectively communicate objectives and strategies to meet those objectives. It is a fluid process but making sure we have effective communication is at the core.

Upon selection we would fund the development of this project internally. We have financed project construction like the ones we are proposing in a number of different ways with institutions such as the New York Green Bank,Key Bank,and M&T Bank.We have a$30 million debt facility in place with New York Green Bank for construction and term loans for projects located on brownfields and landfills, which we could utilize for this project. Green Bank has been an excellent partner since 2015. We worked with them on our PatterSun 1.3, EsopuSol, Sunlight Beacon, Homeridae, Steel Sun 2 and Mt. Kisco projects. BQ Energy also has strong relationships with M&T Bank and Key Bank,who have also provided funding for these projects. We have demonstrated our deep financing capabilities through the successful completion of multiple noteworthy and challenging solar projects in NY and the northeast. We have adequate cash-on-hand to support the development for our current projects including the Southold Town project upon selection. After development we would plan to own these projects long term. See Appendix 5 for confidential financial information that supports our history of successfully financing BQ Energy Development LLC Page 18 of 22 f Leasing of the Southold Cutchogue Landfill Property for Renewable Energy July 17, 2020 projects throughout NY. Also included in the Appendix are letters of support from some of our partners. G.3 PERMITTING AND CONSTRUCTION The Town of Southold Solar Project requires a variety of permits and approvals, all of which are accounted for in the project budget and project schedule shown in this submittal: 1- PSEG Interconnection Approval 2- NYS DEC Landfill Post-Closure Use Permit 3- Municipal Approval Process 4- Local Building Permit The PSEG Interconnection Process and Approval. We will determine the appropriate system size with PSEG and follow their interconnection procedures. Interconnection approval is granted after the utility confirms that the area power delivery system can accept the generation as proposed and with utility system upgrade as proposed by an interconnection study. We are familiar with interconnection study and interconnection requirements from our past experience on LI, NY and the northeast. Every utility operates slightly differently but the goal is always the same; protect their equipment, people, grid stability and the community. We are diligent about setting up communication and procedures to make sure all vested parties are on the same page and understand what needs to be done, by whom and by when. Communication has been paramount to our success. This process takes the longest and also determines the largest unknown cost for the project and it must be completed before a project can proceed to financing. We are ready and committed to adhere to an accelerated schedule to complete and submit all applications to PSEG and to work with them effectively to obtain all approvals. We have considerable experience in connecting large scale solar to the grid and will bring that experience to this project to quickly and efficiently work through the interconnection process. The NYSDEC Post-Closure Use Permit is unique to landfill projects. BQ Energy has experience and we have met worked with the DEC many times before (including with DEC Region 1 on Long Island). We will prepare a Work Plan that will be submitted to the DEC on behalf of the Town and will outline the history of the landfill and our construction plans. Our Work Plans contain all of the industry best practices to maintain the integrity of the landfill cap and have never been denied by the DEC. The required Town Approvals will be determined following consultation with the Town. Compliance with zoning and usage requirements are some of the typical approvals. In our experience, the local approvals normally take a few months to work through, and we have included this timing into our project schedule. The SEQRA process has historically been an important step in the permitting of a solar project on a landfill. However, the rules for SEQRA were recently changed when the DEC determined ballasted solar on a landfill will be classified as a Type II action. This means that the DEC acknowledges that solar on landfills does not post a significant environmental risk. The Local Building Permit is a Ministerial Action, which is required to be issued without public comment in the event that the applicant fully complies with all building codes and other existing regulations. We would file for such a permit with a full compliance package. We will comply with all zoning and land use classifications and seek variances as required. BQ Energy Development LLC Page 19 of 22 Leasing of the Southold Cutchogue Landfill Property for Renewable Energy July 17, 2020 BQ Energy has implemented and refined our construction practices over the years to improve constructability, reliability, maintenance, and safety and to minimize risk of damage. We prioritize our projects longevity and maintainability since we are often the long-term owner of our projects. Below is a brief list of standards we use on our projects: ® Position string inverters at the edges of rows and group them together to make maintenance faster • With capped landfills, it is essential we do not compromise the membrane in any manner. We use either pre-manufactured or pour in place concrete ballasted racking systems. We follow strict procedures to keep weight of vehicles and equipment well below the maximum allowed and follow established protocols for handling things like concrete (for ballasts). We have done a number of landfill projects now and are well versed in understanding the needs of the landfill cap and how to effectively install our system on it. We have a great reputation with the DEC and other regulatory agencies in charge of these sites. • Increased height of the panels off the ground to minimize the impacts of snow and tall grass,while allowing for more efficient mowing techniques. • Standardized cabling and conduit sizing to reduce losses and decrease the different amount of materials needed to build a site • Standardized, high-end equipment to ensure the site is working at maximum capacity at all times • Standardized Health and Safety Plan that is reviewed by the NYSDEC and outside engineers to ensure minimum risk of injury • Review of and stress for Safety on the jobsite with all personnel and constant communication to be sure Health and Safety Plan is followed. We have a detailed Health and Safety Plan that we follow on every project. To Date BQ has no injuries or violations. • Maintenance of the vegetative cover as it is an important aspect of the landfill work plan GA OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE Metering equipment across all BQ Energy sites is procured from A1soEnergy, founded in 2007 and the national leader in renewable energy monitoring. This equipment includes revenue-grade meters dedicated to our system that will record and transmit data at all times for the project. This system allows for remote viewing access of the site, offering a wealth of information about the project in real time. This data can include overall production data, inverter production data, weather-adjusted performance, environmental benefits, and a host of other information. We will provide the Town with access to data and a link that can be shared publicly to view the site in real time if requested. The end user interface details instantaneous and cumulative power, offsets and more in various timeframes. We monitor all our sites and if there is a problem with production, we are able to quickly roll a crew and resolve the issue keeping production high. All equipment used on this project is backed by full and transferable warranties. All data sheets and warranty information can be found in Appendix 3. BQ Energy Development LLC Page 20 of 22 v Leasing of the Southold Cutchogue Landfill Property for Renewable Energy July 17,2020 P BQ will maintain the system for optimal performance and for all manufacturer recommended maintenance and best trade practices. Below is some of the more common maintenance procedures we keep up on. Annually — Clean out transformer and switchgear cabinets and remove any debris or garbage. Inspect the inside cabinets for water damage, rust, or any other damage. Ensure all terminations in the transformer are properly torqued, if possible. This should be performed each spring. Inspect all inverters to ensure they are tightly secured to the'mounting system. Inspect all ballast blocks to make sure none are cracking or filled with water. If they are, the cracks should be repaired immediately. AlsoEnergy cabinets should be inspected for moisture inside the cabinet. The moisture absorbing packets inside the cabinets should be checked and replaced,if necessary. Inspect the pyrometers and anemometers to ensure they are not dirty or damaged. Biannually—Inspect all panels at the entire site.This should be a check to inspect damage to any panel face,junction box, cables, and grounding wires. Panels should be checked individually to ensure they are bolted securely in place still. If they are not,they should be torquedproperly. Periodically — Perform 100% IV Trace testing and analysis when called for on the site. This may be every 3-5 years or sooner depending on output analysis.Infrared photos and videos of the site will be taken to detect any defects or damage to panels. Maintenance Calls — Upon notification that a site is not acting properly, BQ Energy will dispatch a local technician that week to inspect the failed piece of equipment (inverters, AlsoEnergy System, Switchgear, breakers, etc.) and make repairs as soon as possible. If a warranty issue is to be claimed,we will determine what material needs to be replaced and provide a shipping address for the repair or replacement parts. Using our AlsoEnergy system, we continuously monitor the output of the system on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis. If performance drops unexpectedly outside of an acceptable range, we will send someone out to investigate and determine what the cause is and schedule a repair. 7 Battery Maintenance- We have partnered with STEM Inc. on this project in large part because of their experience with long term battery maintenance. STEM will be responsible for all regular maintenance of the battery to keep our system compliant with our warranty including remote capacity tests of the battery and in person regular maintenance. The Town will be responsible for any water and air quality monitoring,and maintenance they are currently required to perform or may be required to perform on the landfills. The Town will have access to the site as necessary to do their reporting and any landfill maintenance. They will have no responsibility for the solar system or for mowing grass in the leased area as we will hire a local company to maintain the vegetation. G.5 WARRANTIES The BQ team has-extensive experience installing solar on landfills. We wrote the book in some areas and helped modify it to establish best practices to maintain the integrity of the site, cap and surrounding areas. We will`properly install on the landfill and waste collection center roof so that Client existing warranties remain in affect and the landfill system performs as intended. Equipment warranties are included in Appendix 3. BQ Energy Development LLC Page 21 of 22 v Leasing of the Southold Cutchogue Landfill Property for Renewable Energy July 17, 2020 H.

The Columbus Dispatch Posted at 6:00 AM A site that used to serve as Franklin County's landfill between Jackson Pike and Interstate 71 in the Grove City area will be the home of a new solar farm, Columbus Solar Park. The project,which is tentatively set for completion in 2022,will generate 50 megawatts of power per year. That's enough to power about 5,000 households, said Paul Curran,managing director of BQ Energy LLC, a New York-based company that specializes in constructing solar and wind projects on brownfields. The company will develop,build and operate a solar energy facility once the purchase agreements of the renewable energy are committed to underwrite the project, Columbus Solar Project LLC, according to officials. The Solid Waste Authority of Central Ohio,which owns the 186-acre site, is leasing 173 acres of the land to the company for 25 years,per a contract agreement. hftps://www.dispatch.com/news/20200709/solar-farm-planned-at-former-franklin-county-landfill-site 1/3 7/9/2020 Solar farm planned at former Franklin County landfill site-News-The Columbus Dispatch-Columbus,CH BQ Energy will pay approximately$70 million to install the solar panels and SWACO will receive an escalating rental payment per megawatt of installed electricity capacity. "As we get close to the commercial operation,we would love to have a long-term supply contract and solar is uniquely positioned to do that because we don't have a fuel cost. So we could sell power at a fixed price for 20 years to a potential buyer,"Curran said. Over the course of the 25-year contract,SWACO anticipates the panels will generate$12 million. Each year, SWACO spends as much as$400,000 to maintain the old landfill, which was used from 1967 to 1985. Methane gas,produced from decomposing materials, still has to be burned off from an underground piping system. (The quality of the methane gas is not high enough for use, officials said.) No buildings can be constructed on the site because decomposing materials underneath continue to settle. SWACO began managing the closed landfill in 1987 and the site was repurposed as Phoenix Links Golf Course in 2000. But the golf course closed in 2015 due to issues with finding an operator. Officials said solar arrays are considered acceptable to place on the site and would benefit the community. "This is a great use of this property and before it was costing SWACO anywhere from$200,000 to $400,000 a year to maintain the property,"said Scott Perry, SWACO's operations director. "This will make the property financially self- sustaining ... (and) will drive greater environmental effects here within our region by producing clean, renewable energy. So it's a very exciting project." Any additional revenue from the solar facility will be used to"offset SWACO's operating expenses, develop more educational programming, add to central Ohio's existing recycling and composting infrastructure, and/or keep the fees low for haulers that deliver waste to the landfill,"SWACO officials said in a released statement. hftps://www.dispatch.com/news/20200709/solar-farm-planned-at-former-franklin-county-landfill-site 2/3 7/9/2020 Solar farm planned at former Franklin County landfill site-News-The Columbus Dispatch-Columbus,OH The company still has to do complete design work as well as a number of studies. "We've had several commercial conversations with American Electric Power (AEP) over the years.And we expect that they'll be very supportive and really a bit of a fan of this type of development,"Curran said."They have no role in the project right now. But we're eager to talk to them about it." There have been other similar projects in Ohio. Last year,the closed Brooklyn landfill in Cuyahoga County opened a solar array on about 17 acres of the closed 75-acre landfill,according to Cleveland.com. Aside from the Columbus project, BQ Energy also is in the process of building solar arrays at two former coal mines and one former power plant site in Ohio, Curran said. The company developed and built the largest existing solar project on a landfill in Annapolis,Maryland,two years ago. bburger@dispatch.com ............................... ........I.............. ............. @ByBethBurger ....................................................... https:/twww.dispatch.com/news/20200709/solar-farm-planned-at-former-franklin-county-landfill-site 3/3 e Solar Energy Project Lease Signed for Two Large Landfill Properties in Yates County New York For Immediate Release (May 20, 2020) Yates County, New York and BQ Energy Development signed a 35-year land lease for two capped landfill properties within Yates County that will allow for the installation of up to 37 MW of solar photovoltaic arrays on the surface of the landfills. The projects could operate by late 2021 and combined would be among the largest installations of solar energy on landfill properties in New York. Once the full build out of the projects is completed, Yates County would receive almost $200,000 in annual rent plus additional benefits in reduced price electric power sales. BQ Energy was selected as the result of a 2019 Request for Proposal issued by Yates County based upon both economic benefit and overall qualifications and approach to development of the two projects. Now that the Lease has been signed and approved by the Yates County Legislature, BQ Energy will begin to finalize design work, begin electrical interconnection studies with NYSEG, and also begin to consult with the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation regarding permit matters. The capped landfill properties are in the Town of Torrey (off Longpoint Road) and the Town of Potter (off Hagerty Road). Each site will require normal appropriate coordination with the towns and communities. The solar project designs will involve the use of above ground ballast block foundations to maintain the environmental integrity of the capped, landfills. Commenting on the projects, Yates County Administrator Winona Flynn indicates "Yates County is thrilled to have this come to fruition. Joe Reed, our Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds began the investigation of the feasibility of solar facilities on County landfills over a year and a half ago. The experience and professionalism that BQ Energy has exhibited throughout this process made them the most logical choice for us. The revenue and savings benefit of this project to our County is substantial." Yates County Legislator and Chair of Public Works, Dan Banach adds "This is a great use of land that was deemed non-usable for years and we were able to turn it into something so positive for our County." "Yates County deserves a great deal of credit for having the vision to initiate this development' added Jim Falsetti, Director of BQ Energy Development. "These landfill properties have been large dead sites for decades. By proactively seeking to move these long-term environmentally friendly projects forward, Yates County will bring both economic and environmental benefits to the community for decades to come. BQ Energy has safely constructed and operated many landfill solar projects in New York State, and we look forward to working with the Yates County communities on these exciting and innovative projects."

Neville Town Clerk 53095 Main Road Southold,New York 11971 Transmittal Letter: Proposal for Leasing of the Cutchogue Landfill Property for Renewable Energy Dear Elizabeth, BQ Energy Development (BQ Energy) is pleased to offer this proposal to develop, construct, commission, own, operate, and maintain a 3.9 MWDC solar energy project and a 2900 kW battery system on the closed Cutchogue Landfill and another solar energy project on the Waste Collection Center, size to be determined after looking at plans or in other ways determining what the site can support. The landfill would annually supply 5,053 MWh of electricity to the surrounding community at a substantial savings just as we are doing in other areas around the state. We have visited the landfill and analyzed the site, based on our observations and experience we are confident we can deliver a high-quality project that will result in long-term financial benefit to the Town and its inhabitants while maintaining the integrity of the landfill. In exchange for putting our solar system on the landfill, we will pay the Town of Southold rent, and mow the landfill in our leased area in addition to offering to sell electricity to the Town at a discount to current rates. In addition to myself, Jim Falsetti is authorized to make representations for this project: Jim Falsetti, Director 400 Market Industrial Park, Ste 32 Wappingers Falls,NY 12590 203-512-7446 Our federal EIN is 46-5163698. BQ Energy only develops utility-scale (greater than 1MW) solar energy projects on landfills and brownfields. Based in the Hudson Valley, and in business since 2002, our 9-member team has built over 50MW of projects during the last 5 years. We own and operate 20MW of those projects. Please find a table of recently completed landfill and brownfield projects as Attachment 1 to this letter. Upon notice of selection, we would immediately begin designs, initiate the PSEG Interconnection Process and, with the consent of the Town, seek approval from NYSDEC for a modification to the existing landfill Work plan.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY BQ Energy is proposing building a solar system at the Cutchogue Landfill Property located at 6155 Cox Lane, Cutchogue, NY. We propose a 3 MWAC solar project on the landfill with a 2900 kW battery system. Upon selection we will evaluate the Waste Collection Center for solar and propose to make that electricity available to the Town at a discount to current rates. The Landfill project is proposed as CDG (Community Distributed Generation). Anyone with a PSEG bill will be able to subscribe to the project and receive a fixed discount on credits received on their PSEG bill. This process is described in Section F of this proposal. In return for the use of the Landfill Property, we would have the following arrangement: • Pay the Town a Site Lease Option fee of$10,000/yr. for exclusive rights to develop the solar projects for a period of 3 years. • Initiate the PSEG Interconnection Process with the Landowner. • With the consent of the Town, we would seek approval from the NYSDEC for a modification to the existing Landfill Work Plan; we have been working with NYSDEC for many years on these types of approvals, and we expect it to be a straight-forward process. • Following construction, lease the landfill per our terms in Section F at a flat rate of $50,000/MWAc installed/yr. This will result in $150,000 in rent for a 3 MWAC system. • Relieve the Town of the costs of maintaining the landfill, as we will maintain the vegetative cover and install a fence around our system to restrict public access. • Enroll the Town (at it's option) as a subscriber to a portion of the project allowing the Town to buy PSEG bill credits at a 10% discount. For up to 40% of the landfill project output. For every $10,000 in credits the Town would save $1,000 a year. This savings percentage would be set so the Town will be insulated from PSEG price changes in the future. • Sell the power from the Waste Collection Building to the town at a flat rate of 10 cents /kWh fixed for 25 years. As further described in this proposal, our projects would be designed, built and operated to maintain the integrity of the landfill and other Town assets. We will interconnect to PSEG's area infrastructure under the New York State Standardized Interconnection Requirements for Distributed Generation. The solar plants would require a transformer and a small amount of switchgear; this equipment is located at the site but off the landfill. As we prepared this response for The Town of Southold, we completed a self-scoring analysis to ensure that we answer each on of your requirements as completely as possible. We have included that analysis on the next page for your convenience. BQ Energy Development LLC Page 4 of 21 Leasing of the Southold Cutchogue Landfill Property for Renewable Energy April 9, 2020 B.1 SELF-SCORING ANALYSIS BQ Energy has provided this Self Scoring Analysis based on Southold evaluation criteria as outlined in the RFP and BQ past experience with that criteria: a. The Annual land lease fee amount. Financials are important and BQ Energy made a fair offer for the Town and one that BQ can live with to get the project built on time and on budget. At least as important as the financials (probably more important) we have a very successful track record of getting projects built. To date, every project we have committed to we have built or are in the process of developing. We take our team of landfill experts and our track record to the town and if selected commit to getting your project built and making money for the Town. More information on our team and track record can be found in Sections C and D as well as throughout the proposal outlining our past projects and commitment to success. Pricing details can be found in Section F. SCORE— 100% b. Selected Contractor must abide by all requirements set forth in this specification. We have carefully reviewed the RFP put out by the Town of Southold in March 2020. We agree to the requirements set up and will abide by them to successfully install a system as outlined in this proposal. SCORE— 100% C. The qualifications of the bidder in developing landfill-sited solar projects. BQ Energy specializes in capped landfill and brownfield installations. We have the right staff, experience and technical know how to build these systems. Our track record speaks for itself. Included in Attachment 1 above is a listing of projects we have built in the last 5 years. Few if any company has the landfill experience that we do. We will draw upon that learning to successfully develop this project. Details on how we will approach development tasks including our demonstrated ability to obtain financing for the construction of the solar energy system and how we intend to finance the system can be found in Section G.2. Additional details of our approach can be found throughout the proposal. Please call our clients for a full understanding of how we operate and get things done. SCORE— 100% d. The plan set forth by the contractor to minimize risk of damage to the Town's landfill cap or any other facilities of the Town. A properly constructed system begins with a good design. We work with experienced and expert engineers at Crawford & Associates for all of our projects designs. When it comes to interconnection, we always use JEM Engineering, with excellent abilities to complete the interconnection, located in our offices at 400 Market Industrial Park in Wappingers Falls. We team with experienced contractors for all aspects of development generally partnering with the same companies we have been successful with in the past. We have the team and the experience to insure safety of the landfill cap and Town facilities as well as personnel and the surrounding community. SCORE— 100% e.

Upon commercial operations we will have local firms maintain the leased area as well as be available for maintenance of the system. We will monitor the production remotely and send personnel as necessary to keep the system operating at its prime. BQ Energy is a specialized renewable energy development firm. Our experience has taught us that the best practices for our industry is to stay small and continue to focus our efforts on a narrowly defined market sector (getting projects built on closed landfills and brownfields). Our staffing varies with the projects that we have under development and we rely on outside experts for legal, BQ Energy Development LLC Page 9 of 21 Leasing of the Southold Cutchogue Landfill Property for Renewable Energy April 9, 2020 environmental accounting, and other support services. Our core team is approximately ten to twelve professionals, most of whom are directly working on project development work. It is not uncommon that most of our core team will be involved in some aspect of the project at some point in time. We work with high quality firms who are experts in their area of expertise. We bring in the right staff at the right time. For example we hired Seth Handy for a project we are building for the Newport Navy because of his expertise on RI law and Remote Net Metering Credits (RNMC) we are utilizing for that project. We will do the same as required for Southold. BQ Energy is proud of its success rate in committing to projects and getting them built. Part of the reason for that success is we have multiple companies we can turn to, each with experience working with us in order to meet cost and timelines of any specific project. We will bring in the right personnel at the right time and price to meet the timing and cost parameters for each project we are selected for. Construction will take about 6 months after earth is first moved. BQ Energy will contract with high quality construction companies that have deep experience in construction of solar energy projects. The type of company we look forward to working with on this opportunity include Conti and Miller Brothers. The chosen firms will be based on their expertise and ability to meet the cost and timing of this project. BQ Energy pioneered and has refined construction procedures for landfill solar projects, and we have an excellent relationship with the regulatory agencies we have worked with because of it. Whether we are doing the work in house, or managing outside personnel we have the experience to deliver quality installations as our track record shows. D. DEVELOPER EXPERIENCE BQ Energy specializes in brownfields and landfill solar development, and we have constructed over 50,000 kW of brownfield-sited solar in the last five years. Out of that 50,000 kW, 26,000 kW have been on landfills and 24,000 kW have been on brownfields. We are arguably the most experienced and successful landfill solar developer in the northeast. We execute all our projects diligently, constantly improve our execution practices, incorporate lessons learned after each project, and have excellent relationships with key providers (e.g., designers, environmental engineers, equipment suppliers, environmental regulators, and municipalities etc.). BQ has extensive experience with the NYSDEC and we work with them to improve and refine our construction techniques to keep environmental impacts to the absolute minimum. BQ Energy has developed several techniques and standard practices for managing risks on closed landfills. We were the company that helped create the permit process in Massachusetts and perfected it in Connecticut and New York, where environmental regulations are some of the strictest in the country. A Health and Safety Plan specifically tailored to this site will be developed and given to the DEC detailing restrictions on types of vehicles permitted on the landfill, a routine for gas monitoring, restrictions on open flames, including smoking, and other safeguards to protect the landfill and its infrastructure. All workers on the site will be required to undergo safety training to protect themselves and the landfill from potential hazard. Additionally, the components of the solar system will be designed specifically to ensure they do not pose any risk to the landfill, the environment, personnel or the community around them. BQ staff has extensive experience putting solar on NY landfills and we bring in the right people to complement our team as necessary. Communication is one of our trademarks of success BQ Energy Development LLC Page 10 of 21 Leasing of the Southold Cutchogue Landfill Property for Renewable Energy April 9, 2020 and we will foster an environment where that communication between all stakeholders results in a well-built project completed near term for the Town.

TECHNICAL PROPOSAL Design layouts, system details and Harvest Report can be found in Appendix 2, including system sizes, quantity of modules, and location and type of inverters. We use PVSyst instead of PV Watts as it gives us a wider range of inputs allowing us more accuracy. We have used it in all of our projects. The results of that analysis are included in Appendix 2. The projects that we are proposing will interconnect under the NYS Standard Interconnect Requirements. The NYSIR applies to projects under 5 MW-AC that interconnect on the distribution network and get their revenue under the VDER tariff. We are proposing a 3.9 MW DC, 3.0 MW AC system on the landfill surface. We will be utilizing SMA Sunny High Power Peaks -125 US with Hanwha 40OW modules at a 25-degree tilt and 180- degree azimuth on GameChange ballasted racking. System sizing is subject to change as the site is analyzed in detail and the project progresses. System sizing is also largely dependent on the existing utility infrastructure in the area. Additionally we will propose a system on the roof of the Waste Collection building onsite. Although significantly smaller we will propose to sell that power to the Town at a discount to current rates. We wish to get access to building plans and Town electric information in order to give a proper proposal on the building. Equipment specification sheets and warranty information have been included in Appendix 3. BQ has largely standardized around the equipment listed below. We find that these top-tier manufactures provide the best quality equipment which lead to easy construction and long-term maintenance. Racking: GameChange Ballasted BQ Energy has used GameChange racking on almost all of our projects. Based in New York City and manufactured in Detroit, GameChange is a landfill solar pioneer. Their pour in place and precast ballast racking has allowed us to develop many landfill projects that were previously considered unbuildable. Modules: Hanwha— Q.PLUS,40OW BQ Energy is planning to use Hanwha Q.Cells 40OW panels for this project. Designed in Germany and manufactured in Georgia, United States; Hanwha is widely considered the Rolls Royce of panels. Hanwha makes their own silicon cells, ensuring high quality control. BQ Energy has these panels installed on several sites and had panels tested for reliability by an independent lab; the lab determined these were among the best panels they' ve reviewed. We have a strong relationship with Hanwha staff and are very pleased with their products performance on our sites. Panels are backed with a 25-year warranty. Inverter: SMA -America SUNNY HIGHPOWER Inverters BQ Energy is specifying SMA Highpower String Inverters on this project. SMA produces high- quality inverters that we have specified on all our string inverter sites that are in currently in development and construction do to their high quality and robustness. SMA is a leader in the industry with a great reputation and they stand firmly behind their products. Batteries: Tesla PowerPack 2,900kW BQ Energy Development LLC Page 12 of 21 Leasing of the Southold Cutchogue Landfill Property for Renewable Energy April 9, 2020 We plan to install a Tesla PowerPack 2,900kw/11,600kWh battery system at the site. The Tesla PowerPack is a scalable battery system that will be charged using solar power, discharging power during peak hours, when the sun is setting and at night. The battery system will provide critical peak demand services for the utility grid. The battery system will be automatically configured to respond to grid demand as requested by the utility through a third parry monitoring system. The battery is backed by a ten year warranty. Monitoring System: A1soEnergy A1soEnergy, based in Boulder, Colorado, was founded in 2007 to provide software - as - a - service monitoring solutions for the energy market, with a focus on solar PV. A1soEnergy's mission is to enable the adoption of clean energy technologies by providing end - to - end turnkey solutions that monitor and manage renewable energy systems. A1soEnergy is ranked by GTM Research as the top - selling independent solar monitoring provider in North America (and the fifth largest worldwide) monitoring 6 GW of energy at 17,000 sites worldwide. A1soEnergy offers hundreds of tools and reports to monitor a site for output, alarms, and invoicing to help keep a site operating smoothly. Their equipment is backed by a 5 - year warranty. The Town will be given access to view the site's power generation using a computer or smartphone at any time. The tracking system also issues alerts if production is lower than expected or it detects equipment failure. BQ Energy will also make publicly available a website displaying real-time and historical production values as well as predicted values through Also Energy. The website would show the effect of weather on solar energy production and includes rotating facts about the amount of energy being produced. These facts include how many homes could be powered at that time, how many cars on the road could be offset at that time, and other environmental details.

PRICING PROPOSAL We modeled this project based on experience in PSEG/LIPA and our extensive landfill projects in NYS and are confident to offer a lease rate of$50,000 per MW AC flat price (no escalator) for 25 years. The proposed 3 MW-AC system on the landfill would generate $150,000 per year in lease revenue and $3.75 Million over the 25 year term. The rent payment assumes no property taxes. Any taxes or Payments in Lieu of Taxes (PILOT) assessed to the project would need to come out of the rent. The Town could also purchase up to 40% of the power from the project at a 10% discount to PSEG rates. The Town would see additional monetary benefits in reduced maintenance costs as the project would take over the cost of mowing the landfill surfaces within our leased area at the commencement of construction. A 5 year extension would get the same lease rate.

Our preliminary schedule has that date as October 29, 2021. There are no other conditions before we begin payments and we provide full assurance we will make payments as agreed upon in an executed lease agreement. We also offer a $10,000/yr. Site Lease Option Fee payable to the Town for a three year exclusive right to develop the site. During this time we will work to complete interconnection studies with PSEG, permitting with NYSDEC, and sell the power in order to support the project. We offer project purchase price options as outlined below: Project Purchase Price Year 1 NA Due to ITC Year 2 NA Due to ITC Year 3 NA Due to ITC Year 4 NA Due to ITC Year 5 NA Due to ITC Year 6 $6,848,096 Year 7 $6,487,367 Year 8 $6,299,462 Year 9 $6,103,872 Year 10 $5,896,054 Year 11 $5,678,868 Year 12 $5,447,675 Year 13 $5,193,702 Year 14 $4,926,584 Year 15 $4,641,435 Year 16 $4,336,797 Year 17 $4,016,794 Year 18 $3,680,714 Year 19 $3,321,043 Year 20 $2,939,565 Year 21 $2,530,815 Year 22 $2,096,248 Year 23 $1,630,113 Year 24 $1,122,649 Year 25 $581,388 The electricity will be sold under to off-takers at a discount to what they are currently paying to the utility. We will offer the power to local residents and businesses and then to the surrounding community. We have done and are selling power in this way for other systems in NYS. BQ Energy Development LLC Page 16 of 21 Leasing of the Southold Cutchogue Landfill Property for Renewable Energy April 9, 2020 For the Waste Collection Building we propose upon selection to fully evaluate the structure and potential of the roof, install a system and sell the power to the Town at a deeply discounted rate of 10 cents/kWh as compensation for putting the system on the roof. That will result in a significant kWh savings from current rates. G. PROPOSAL NARRATIVE G.1 SCHEDULE Table 4 below shows an abbreviated schedule; a detailed timeline can be found in Appendix 4. The foundation of a working schedule begins with engaging experienced talent, laying out tasks and objectives and effectively communicating from concept to Commercial Operation. The only effective way to efficiently develop and build a solar system is by keeping in constant contact with all stakeholders. During initial stages we would talk a couple of times a month, more as required. During active stages we will have a standing weekly call to make sure all is moving according to plan and everyone is aware of what is going on and understands their role and the pieces they need to execute with timelines. We take these calls seriously in order to keep the project effectively moving forward. Additionally, we meet in Town offices, or on site as required to effectively communicate objectives and strategies to meet those objectives. It is a fluid process but making sure we have effective communication is at the core. Table 4 - Milestones Milestone Date Milestone Award and contract negotiation 5/1/2020 System Design 5/4/2020 Permitting 5/5/2020 Interconnection Application process 5/6/2020 Secure System Equipment and Assets 5/6/2021 Installation 6/17/2021 Substantial Completion 9/27/2021 Interconnection 8/23/2021 Commercial Operation 10/29/2021 G.2 FINANCING BQ Energy funds all aspects of development for most of its project portfolio. Upon selection we would fund the development of this project internally. We have financed constructing projects like the ones we are proposing in a number of different ways with institutions such as the Green Bank,Key Bank,and M&T Bank. We have a $30 million debt facility in place with New York State Green Bank for construction and term loans for projects located on brownfields and landfills, which we could utilize for this project. Green Bank has been an excellent partner since 2015. We worked with them on our PatterSun 1.3, EsopuSol, Sunlight Beacon, Homeridae, and Steel Sun 2 projects. BQ Energy also has strong relationships with M&T Bank and Key Bank, who have also provided funding for these projects. We have demonstrated our deep financing capabilities through the successful completion of multiple BQ Energy Development LLC Page 17 of 21 Leasing of the Southold Cutchogue Landfill Property for Renewable Energy April 9, 2020 noteworthy and challenging solar projects in NY and the northeast. We have adequate cash-on-hand to support the development for our current projects including the Southold Town project upon selection. After development we would plan to own these projects long term. See Appendix 5 for confidential financial information that supports our history of successfully financing projects throughout NY. Also included in the Appendix are letters of support from some of our partners. G.3 PERMITTING AND CONSTRUCTION The Town of Southold Solar Project requires a variety of permits and approvals, all of which are accounted for in the project budget and project schedule shown in this submittal: I- PSEG Interconnection Approval 2- NYS DEC Landfill Post- Closure Use Permit 3- Municipal Approval Process 4- Local Building Permit The PSEG Interconnection Process and Approval. We will determine the appropriate system size with PSEG and follow their interconnection procedures. Interconnection approval is granted after the utility confirms that the area power delivery system can accept the generation as proposed and with utility system upgrade as proposed by an interconnection study. We are familiar with interconnection study and interconnection requirements from our past experience on LI, NY and the northeast. Every utility operates slightly differently but the goal is always the same; protect their equipment, people, grid stability and the community. We are diligent about setting up communication and procedures to make sure all vested parties are on the same page and understand what needs to be done, by whom and by when. Communication has been paramount to our success. This process takes the longest and also determines the largest unknown cost for the project and it must be completed before a project can proceed to financing. We are ready and committed to adhere to an accelerated schedule to complete and submit all applications to PSEG and to work with them effectively to obtain all approvals. We have considerable experience in connecting large scale solar to the grid and will bring that experience to this project to quickly and efficiently work through the interconnection process. The NYSDEC Post-Closure Use Permit is unique to landfill projects. BQ Energy has experience and we have met worked with the DEC many times before (including with DEC Region 1 on Long Island). We will prepare a Work Plan that will be submitted to the DEC on behalf of the Town and will outline the history of the landfill and our construction plans. Our Work Plans contain all of the industry best practices to maintain the integrity of the landfill cap and have never been denied by the DEC. The required Town Approvals will be determined following consultation with the Town. Compliance with zoning and usage requirements are some of the typical approvals. In our experience, the local approvals normally take a few months to work through, and we have included this timing into our project schedule. The SEQRA process has historically been an important step in the permitting of a solar project on a landfill. However, the rules for SEQRA were recently changed when the DEC determined ballasted solar on a landfill will be classified as a Type II action. This means that the DEC acknowledges that solar on landfills does not post a significant environmental risk. BQ Energy Development LLC Page 18 of 21 Leasing of the Southold Cutchogue Landfill Property for Renewable Energy April 9, 2020 The Local Building Permit is a Ministerial Action, which is required to be issued without public comment in the event that the applicant fully complies with all building codes and other existing regulations. We would file for such a permit with a full compliance package. We will comply with all zoning and land use classifications and seek variances as required. BQ Energy has implemented and refined our construction practices over the years to improve constructability, reliability, maintenance, and safety and to minimize risk of damage. We prioritize our projects longevity and maintainability since we are often the long-term owner of our projects. Below is a brief list of standards we use on our projects: • Position string inverters at the edges of rows and group them together to make maintenance faster • With capped landfills, it is essential we do not compromise the membrane in any manner. We use either pre-manufactured or pour in place concrete ballasted racking systems. We follow strict procedures to keep weight of vehicles and equipment well below the maximum allowed and follow established protocols for handling things like concrete (for ballasts). We have done a number of landfill projects now and are well versed in understanding the needs of the landfill cap and how to effectively install our system on it. We have a great reputation with the DEC and other regulatory agencies in charge of these sites. • Increased height of the panels off the ground to minimize the impacts of snow and tall grass, while allowing for more efficient mowing techniques. • Standardized cabling and conduit sizing to reduce losses and decrease the different amount of materials needed to build a site • Standardized, high-end equipment to ensure the site is working at maximum capacity at all times • Standardized Health and Safety Plan that is reviewed by the NYSDEC and outside engineers to ensure minimum risk of injury • Review of and stress for Safety on the jobsite with all personnel and constant communication to be sure Health and Safety Plan is followed. We have a detailed Health and Safety Plan that we follow on every project. To Date BQ has no injuries or violations. • Maintenance of the vegetative cover as it is an important aspect of the landfill work plan GA OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE Metering equipment across all BQ Energy sites is procured from A1soEnergy, founded in 2007 and the national leader in renewable energy monitoring. This equipment includes revenue-grade meters dedicated to our system that will record and transmit data at all times for the project. This system allows for remote viewing access of the site, offering a wealth of information about the project in real time. This data can include overall production data, inverter production data, weather-adjusted performance, environmental benefits, and a host of other information. We will provide the Town with access to data and a link that can be shared publicly to view the site in real time if requested. The end user interface details instantaneous and cumulative power, offsets and more in various timeframes. We monitor all our sites and if there is a problem with production, we are able to quickly roll a crew and resolve the issue keeping production high. All equipment used on this project BQ Energy Development LLC Page 19 of 21 Leasing of the Southold Cutchogue Landfill Property for Renewable Energy April 9, 2020 is backed by full and transferable warranties. All data sheets and warranty information can be found in Appendix 3. BQ will maintain the system for optimal performance and for all manufacturer recommended maintenance and best trade practices. Below is some of the more common maintenance procedures we keep up on. Annually — Clean out transformer and switchgear cabinets and remove any debris or garbage. Inspect the inside cabinets for water damage, rust, or any other damage. Ensure all terminations in the transformer are properly torqued, if possible. This should be performed each spring. Inspect all inverters to ensure they are tightly secured to the mounting system. Inspect all ballast blocks to make sure none are cracking or filled with water. If they are, the cracks should be repaired immediately. A1soEnergy cabinets should be inspected for moisture inside the cabinet. The moisture absorbing packets inside the cabinets should be checked and replaced, if necessary. Inspect the pyrometers and anemometers to ensure they are not dirty or damaged. Biannually—Inspect all panels at the entire site. This should be a check to inspect damage to any panel face,junction box, cables, and grounding wires. Panels should be checked individually to ensure they are bolted securely in place still. If they are not, they should be torqued properly. Periodically — Perform 100% IV Trace testing and analysis when called for on the site. This may be every 3-5 years or sooner depending on output analysis. Infrared photos and videos of the site will be taken to detect any defects or damage to panels. Maintenance Calls — Upon notification that a site is not acting properly, BQ Energy will dispatch a local technician that week to inspect the failed piece of equipment (inverters, A1soEnergy System, Switchgear, breakers, etc.) and make repairs as soon as possible. If a warranty issue is to be claimed, we will determine what material needs to be replaced and provide a shipping address for the repair or replacement parts. Using our A1soEnergy system, we continuously monitor the output of the system on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis. If performance drops unexpectedly outside of an acceptable range, we will send someone out to investigate and determine what the cause is and schedule a repair. The Town will be responsible for any water and air quality monitoring and maintenance they are currently required to perform or may be required to perform on the landfills. The Town will have access to the site as necessary to do their reporting and any landfill maintenance. They will have no responsibility for the solar system or for mowing grass in the leased area as we will hire a local company to maintain the vegetation. G.5 WARRANTIES The BQ team has extensive experience installing solar on landfills. We wrote the book in some areas and helped modify it to establish best practices to maintain the integrity of the site, cap and surrounding areas. We will properly install on the landfill and waste collection center roof so that Client existing warranties remain in affect and the landfill system performs as intended. Equipment warranties are included in Appendix 3. BQ Energy Development LLC Page 20 of 21 Leasing of the Southold Cutchogue Landfill Property for Renewable Energy April 9, 2020 H.

MEMORANDUM To: Alicia Scott, BQ Energy Keith Christensen, BQ Energy From: Ted Bombola, C&A Re: Southold, NY Landfill Solar P50 Harvest Report v0 C&A # 5204.16 Date: March 25, 2020 As requested, I've simulated the energy output for the Southold NY, Landfill Solar PV project. The energy model uses PVSyst V6.86. The simulation models a 3.9 MW-DC, 3.0 MW-AC nominal PV system (DC/AC ratio of 1.30) using fixed tilt racking at 250, with 2-up in portrait configuration, and a ground cover ratio of 0.51. Weather File Synthetic hourly data was generated by the MeteoNorm 7.2 function in PVSyst. MeteoNorm 7.2 is able to interpolate data between weather stations and satellite data to provide monthly GHI estimates, but uses a stochastic model to generate hourly data. The Cutchogue Station, NY meteonorm weather file was used for this simulation. The synthetic hourly data was chosen for this project opposed to a proximal TMY3 file because, after years of experience comparing the two at a variety of sites, data provided by the MeteoNorm function has proven to adequately similar to TMY3 weather files, and provides higher spatial resolution so that satellite data at the exact location of the proposed site can be used. Losses For consistency, typical losses were calibrated to match the beEdison report for Esopus, NY completed on January 17, 2017, with the following exceptions: • Snow cover updated for Cutchogue NY based on NOAA data for 2009-2019 at all stations within 15 miles. Analysis uses DSNW, which is the number of days where it snowed more than ill. • No far shadings, or the effect of nearby hills and/or trees were included in this simulation, which can cause additional annual energy losses on the order of 2-5% using typical offset distances to tree lines. There does not appear to be any hills and/or trees in the vicinity of the project site, therefore it is unlikely that energy production will be signifcantly impacted by far shadings. This model does account for row-to-row shading. Southold Landfill Solar PV March 25, 2020 Harvest Report VO C&A # 5204.16 Page 2 Results The projected annual energy output is 5,053 MWh/yr, which represents a DC capacity factor of 0.1484.

Revenue and Cost Recognition , Customer revenue relating to operating Projects is recognid t the end of each month or, if billed on a date other than month-end, when billed each month. For tax purposes, the Group recognizes revenue when it is received. The Group uses the cost recovery method of accounting for the sale of Project Companies. Under this method, Group does not recognize any income related to a sale transaction until such time as the cost element of the sale has been paid in cash by the customer. Once the cash payments have recovered the seller's costs, all remaining cash receipts (if any) are recorded in income as received. For tax purposes, the Group uses the installment sale method. Other revenue is recognized when received. State Incentive Income is income generated from New York State Energy Research & Development Authority ("NYSERDA")for completing and qualifying for certain state offered incentives. The income is paid as project is completed or energy is generated. 3 Cash Equivalents For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Group considers all short-term debt securities purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Accounts Receivable The Group has determined that no allowance for bad debts need be reported at the present time. Receivables at year end are as follows: 2018 2017 Trinity-Pawling School $4,628 $5,002 City of Derby, CT 1,250 4,274 Religious Campus 13,969 5,698 Town of Esopus, N 8,311 3,731 City of Beacon, NY 9,597 - NYSERDA401,415 451,358 United Illuminating Co. 4 27,540 28,866 Vendors and Other , 0 54,210 TOTAL $466,710 $553,139 Advertising Cost The Group expenses advertising production costs as they are incurred, and advertising communication costs the first time the advertising takes place. Advertising costs for period ending December 31, 2018 was $990, and DecembeP1, 2017 $570. Use of Estimates in Financial Statements Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported support, revenues and expenses. Although management believes the estimates that have been used are reasonable, actual results could vary from the estimates that were used. Disclosure of Subsequent Events BQ Energy Group adopted ASC Topic 856 Subsequent Events. ASC Topic 855 requires disclosure of the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated, 4 and whether that date is the date that the financial statements were issued or available to be issued. Management has evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and disclosure through October 27, 2019, the date the financial statements were available to be issued. Management is not aware of any events subsequent to the statement of financial position date that would require additional adjustment to, or disclosure in, the accompanying financial statements. Capitalization and Investment in Project Assets The Group's projects have five basic phases: (i) pre-development, (ii) development, (iii) contracting and financing and commodity risk management, (iv) engineering and construction and (v) operation and maintenance. During the pre-development sub- phase, milestones are created to ensure that a project is financially viable. Project viability is obtained when it becomes probable that costs incurred will generate future economic benefits sufficient to recover these costs. Examples of milestones required for a viable project include the following: • identification, selection anciacquisition (typically via a lease or lease option) of sufficient land required for project; • confirmation of a market for electricity and RECs sufficient to support the project; • confirmation of engineering feasibility and estimated electrical output; • confirmation of the potential to interconnect to the electric grid; • determination of limited environmental sensitivity, local community receptivity, and ability to obtain required permits and approvals. l® ■ All project costs are expensed during the pre-development phase. Once the milestones for development are achieved, a project is moved from the pre-development phase into the development and engineering and construction phases. Costs incurred in these phases are capitalized as incurred, included within construction in progress, and not depreciated until placed into commercial service. Fixed Assets & Depreciation Once a project is placed into operation, all accumulated costs will be reclassified as fixed assets, and become subject to depreciation. Fixed assets are recorded at cost. Depreciation for financial statement purposes is computed using the straight-line method over a 30-year period from when the projects are placed in service. For tax reporting, the Group uses straight-line depreciation for utility upgrades and accelerated depreciation for solar projects and other fixed assets. Income Tax Status All entities part of the combined group, with the consent of their members, have elected under the Internal Revenue Code to be treated as partnerships. In lieu of business 5 income taxes, all items of income, gain, loss, deduction, and credit are passed through to the members of a partnership, who are taxed on their proportionate share of the Group's taxable income. Therefore, no provision or liability for federal income taxes has been included in the financial statements. NOTE 2 - PREPAID EXPENSES A schedule of Prepaid Expenses for the years ending 2017 and 2016 is as follows: 2018 2017 Prepaid Rent 3,643 3,537 Prepaid Monitoring Services -0- 18,568 Prepaid OM&A Fees 36,267 -0- Prepaid Annual Loan Fees 28,145 1,250 TOTAL 68,055 23,355 NOTE 3 — DERIVATIVES / INTEREST RATE SWAP The Group uses derivatives to manage risks related to interest rate movements. Interest rate swap contracts designated and qualifying as cash flow hedges are reported at fair value. The Group's interest rate..fisk management strategy is to stabilize cash flow requirements by maintaining ,�erest rate swap contracts to convert variable-rate debt to a fixed rate. As disclosed in Note 6, the note payable to Key Benk Atibnal Association at the end of 2017 bears interest at a floating rate. To protect against increases in the effective rate that the Group pays on the Secured Loan, on April 9, 2016, the Group put in place an interest rate swap agreement with KeyBank, whereby the Group receives a floating rate one-month LIBOR + 3.5% and pays a fixed rate of 5.23%, on a reducing nominal principal amount starting at $1,033,900 with reductions corresponding to principal payments on the Secured Loan As of December 31, 2018, Group records an Accumulated Swap Gain of $35,466, based on valuation provided by KeyBank, in comprehensive income and reclassifies it into income when interest is paid. 6 NOTE 4 — DEBT AND CAPITAL LEASING AGREEMENTS The Group has the following debt arrangements: Project PatterSun, Green Derby PatterSun 1.3 EsopuSol LLC Sunlight Company NY LLC LLC LLC Beacon LLC Lender M&T Bank KeyBank NY Green NY Green NY Green Bank Bank Bank Amount Outstanding $694,318 $908,424 $1,207,473 $967,393 $2,906,453 at 12/31/18 LIBOR + 3.5% 4.5%, steps to 4.5%, steps 5.5%, steps to Interest Rate Approx 5.19% swaped to 6.0% on to 6.0%on 7.0% on 5.23%fixed 4/1/22 7/1/22 4/1/23 These loans are guaranteed by the Partner Companies and by their principals (Paul Curran, Jim Falsetti, and TiLn Ryan).

Neville Town Clerk 53095 Main Road Southold,New York 11971 Transmittal Letter: Proposal for Leasing of the Cutchogue Landfill Property for Renewable Energy Dear Ms. Neville, BQ Energy Development (BQ Energy) is pleased to offer this proposal to develop, construct, commission, own, operate, and maintain a 3.9 MWDC solar energy project and a 2.5 MW/9,920 kWh battery system on the closed Cutchogue Landfill. The landfill would annually supply 5053 MWh of electricity to the surrounding community at a substantial savings,just as we are doing in other areas around the state. We have visited the landfill and analyzed the site. Based on our observations and experience, we are confident we can deliver a high-quality project that will result in long-term financial benefit to the Town and its residents while maintaining the integrity of the landfill. In exchange for putting our solar system on the landfill, we will pay the Town of Southold property taxes, rent, and mow the portion of landfill within our leased area. In April of this year, BQ Energy submitted a proposal in response to this Southold RFP. Shortly after our proposal arrived there, we received an email which advised that due to the COVID 19 pandemic, the Town would not be evaluating that submittal at that time. To be efficient, and with the permission of the Town, we have chosen not to reprint our entire submittal since our qualifications have not materially changed in the ensuing 3 months. This transmittal does have a few material commercial changes as we have raised the offer price in this July submittal above the level that we had proposed in the April submittal. We are now proposing a fixed land rent price of$225,000 per year. BQ Energy only develops utility-scale solar energy projects on landfills and brownfields. Based in the Hudson Valley, and in business since 2002, our team has built numerous such projects during the last 5 years. We own and operate 20MW of those projects. Please find a table of recently completed landfill and brownfield projects as Attachment 1 to this letter. Please note that we have also attached a press release and a newspaper article from two projects that were announced in the three months since our original submittal. These materials are included in Section D of this revised submittal. We should also note that we are the only developer who has actually built a landfill based solar project in Suffolk County (in Kings Park). Despite being a small business, we have developed far more operating solar projects on landfills than any other solar firm has. Many solar companies talk about solar on landfills. BQ Energy builds solar on landfills. As we separately communicated to the Town of Southold last month, PSEG/LIPA has stated that they expect to release a RFP for solar/batteries on the North Fork Q3 2020. We designed this project to qualify for this RFP. Because of the tight timing we encourage the Town to select a winner as expediently as possible in order to prepare for and be able to respond to that RFP. Upon notice of Leasing of the Southold Cutchogue Landfill Property for Renewable Energy July 17, 2020 selection, we would immediately begin designs, initiate the PSEG Interconnection Process and, with the consent of the Town, seek approval from NYSDEC for a modification to the existing landfill Work Plan in anticipation of the RFP. BQ Energy has experience from our Kings Park project in working with the entire LIPA process from contracts to operation, so we know what is involved in being selected and developing a winning project. We look forward to working with you on this exciting project.

Appendix 7 —Recent Press (electronic version, printed and included in body of updated proposal) BQ Energy Development LLC Page 4 of 22 Leasing of the Southold Cutchogue Landfill Property for Renewable Energy July 17, 2020 B. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY BQ Energy is proposing to build a solar system at the Cutchogue Landfill Property located at 6155 Cox Lane, Cutchogue, NY. We propose a 3 MWAC solar project on the landfill with a 2.5 MW battery system. This design and size will allow us to bid into the upcoming PSEG RFP as it is currently outlined. It was not possible to obtain material information regarding the Waste Collection Center referenced in the RFP. We are pleased to expand our landfill proposal to incorporate that aspect after selection. In return for the use of the Landfill Property, we propose the following arrangement: • Pay the Town a Site Lease Option fee of$10,000/yr. for exclusive rights to develop the solar projects for a period of 3 years. • Initiate the PSEG Interconnection Process. • With the consent of the Town, we would seek approval from the NYSDEC for a modification to the existing Landfill Work Plan; we have been working with NYSDEC (including Region 1) for many years on these types of approvals, and we expect it to be a straight-forward process. • Following construction, lease the landfill per our terms in Section F at a flat rate of $225,000/year • Relieve the Town of the costs of maintaining the landfill, as we will maintain the vegetative cover and install a fence around our system to restrict public access. As further described in this proposal, our projects would be designed, built and operated to maintain the integrity of the landfill and other Town assets. We will interconnect to PSEG's area infrastructure under the New York State Standardized Interconnection Requirements for Distributed Generation. The solar plants would require a transformer and a small amount of switchgear; this equipment is located at the site but off the landfill. As we prepared this response for The Town of Southold, we completed a self-scoring analysis to ensure that we answer each of your requirements as completely as possible. We have included that analysis on the next page for your convenience. BQ Energy Development LLC Page 5 of 22 Leasing of the Southold Cutchogue Landfill Property for Renewable Energy July 17, 2020 B.1 SELF-SCORING ANALYSIS BQ Energy has provided this Self Scoring Analysis based on Southold evaluation criteria as outlined in the RFP and BQ past experience with that criteria: a. The Annual land lease fee amount. Financials are important and BQ Energy made a fair offer for the Town and one that BQ can uphold while getting the project built on time and on budget. At least as important as the financials (probably more important), we have a very successful track record of getting projects built. To date, every project we have committed to we have built or are in the process of developing. More information on our team and track record can be found in Sections C and D as well as throughout the proposal outlining our past projects and commitment to success. Pricing details can be found in Section F. SCORE— 100% b. Selected Contractor must abide by all requirements set forth in this specification. We have carefully reviewed the RFP put out by the Town of Southold in March 2020. We agree to the requirements set up and will abide by them to successfully install a system as outlined in this proposal. SCORE— 100% C. The qualifications of the bidder in developing landfill-sited solar projects. BQ Energy specializes in capped landfill and brownfield installations. We have the right staff, experience and technical know how to build these systems. Our track record speaks for itself. Included in Attachment 1 above is a listing of projects we have built in the last 5 years. Few if any company has the landfill experience that we do. We will draw upon that learning to successfully develop this project. Details on how we will approach development tasks including our demonstrated ability to obtain financing for the construction of the solar energy system and how we intend to finance the system can be found in Section G.2. Additional details of our approach can be found throughout the proposal. Please call our clients for a full understanding of how we operate and get things done. SCORE— 100% d. The plan set forth by the contractor to minimize risk of damage to the Town's landfill cap or any other facilities of the Town. A properly constructed system begins with a good design. BQ Energy combines our own staff with partner experts. We work with experienced and expert engineers at Crawford & Associates for all of our projects designs. When it comes to interconnection, we always use JEM Engineering, with excellent abilities to complete the interconnection, located in our offices at 400 Market Industrial Park in Wappingers Falls. We team with experienced contractors for all aspects of development generally partnering with the same companies we have been successful with in the past. We have the team and the experience to insure safety of the landfill cap and Town facilities as well as personnel and the surrounding community. SCORE— 100% e. The plan set forth by Contractor to minimize regulatory and legal risks associated with the system installation at the landfill. BQ Energy arguably has more experience installing solar on landfills than any other company. We understand the specific requirements of the landfill and have worked with DEC on numerous projects around the state. We will properly install the system for the Town of Southold as we did with our other landfill projects. In all of our projects we have not had impacts on the landfill that affected the integrity during development, construction or operation. SCORE— 100% BQ Energy Development LLC Page 6 of 22 Leasing of the Southold Cutchogue Landfill Property for Renewable Energy July 17, 2020 f. Comprehensiveness of the bid submission package. We have reviewed and understand the RFP released by the Town in March of 2020. We answered all questions and included additional information to help aid the reviewer to understand our experience and expertise. If more information or clarity is needed please contact Paul or Jim and we will provide what you need. SCORE— 100% g. Commitment and readiness to adhere to an accelerated schedule to complete and submit all applications to PSEG. We will begin the interconnection process immediately upon selection. We are ready and will work quickly to get all applications submitted and approved. There is increased urgency here as PSEG is expected to issue an RFP Q3 of this year. Upon quick selection BQ would begin engaging with PSEG immediately in order to meet the RFP's requirements. More information can be found in Section G.3. SCORE— 100% BQ Energy Development LLC Page 7 of 22 Leasing of the Southold Cutchogue Landfill Property for Renewable Energy July 17, 2020 C.

For this project, the engineer of record will be Jennifer Crawford, PE .Jen leads a team of engineers at C&A that specialize in commercial solar development projects. C&A provides BQ Energy a wide variety of engineering services on all of our projects since 2016. Jen has nearly 10 years' experience in the solar industry, beginning with an internship at NREL in 2009. Jen worked at Abengoa Solar for about 4 years before returning to NY to work for the family firm. On the side, Jen has also consulted for the CThree Group providing solar industry market research for about 4 years. Jen obtained a BS in Physics at Tufts University in 2007 and a MS in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Colorado at Boulder in 2009. In her free time, Jen also serves as a volunteer firefighter. We worked with JEM and Crawford on most solar projects we have developed or are in the process of developing. All companies we partner with are seasoned veterans with extensive experience working on solar projects of the type we are proposing. Upon commercial operations we will have local firms maintain the leased area as well as be available for maintenance of the system. We will monitor the production remotely and send personnel as necessary to keep the system operating at its prime. STEM, Inc. —We have partnered with STEM on our project in Mount Kisco NY for their expertise in designing, installing, dispatching and maintaining grid tied battery systems. STEM is a valuable partner with 60 MWhs of storage either deployed or in construction in NYS. They are well versed in BQ Energy Development LLC Page 10 of 22 Leasing of the Southold Cutchogue Landfill Property for Renewable Energy July 17, 2020 how to maximize revenue of a storage system. We have attached a brief Statement of Qualifications from STEM to this amended proposal. BQ Energy is a specialized renewable energy development firm. Our experience has taught us that the best practices for our industry is to stay small and continue to focus our efforts on a narrowly defined market sector (getting projects built on closed landfills and brownfields). Our staffing varies with the projects that we have under development and we rely on outside experts for legal, environmental accounting, and other support services. Our core team is approximately ten to twelve professionals, most of whom are directly working on project development work. It is not uncommon that most of our core team will be involved in some aspect of the project at some point in time. We work with high quality firms who are experts in their area of expertise. We bring in the right staff at the right time. For example we hired Seth Handy for a project we are building for the Newport Navy because of his expertise on RI law and Remote Net Metering Credits (RNMC) we are utilizing for that project. We will do the same as required for Southold. BQ Energy is proud of its success rate in committing to projects and getting them built. Part of the reason for that success is we have multiple companies we can turn to, each with experience working with us in order to meet cost and timelines of any specific project. We will bring in the right personnel at the right time and price to meet the timing and cost parameters for each project we are selected for. Construction will take about 6 months after earth is first moved. BQ Energy will contract with high quality construction companies that have deep experience in construction of solar energy projects. The type of company we look forward to working with on this opportunity include Conti and Miller Brothers. The chosen firms will be based on their expertise and ability to meet the cost and timing of this project. BQ Energy pioneered and has refined construction procedures for landfill solar projects, and we have an excellent relationship with the regulatory agencies we have worked with because of it. Whether we are doing the work in house, or managing outside personnel we have the experience to deliver quality installations as our track record shows. D. DEVELOPER EXPERIENCE The Section below has not changed, we have enclosed an April 2020 Press Release on our Yates County NY project and also a July 2020 Columbus Dispatch article regarding our Columbus Ohio project. Both these leases (see Appendix 7 in electronic copy of proposal) were signed after our April 2020 submittal. BQ Energy specializes in brownfields and landfill solar development, and we have constructed over 50,000 kW of brownfield-sited solar in the last five years. Out of that 50,000 kW, 26,000 kW have been on landfills and 24,000 kW have been on brownfields. We are arguably the most experienced and successful landfill solar developer in the northeast. We execute all our projects diligently, constantly improve our execution practices, incorporate lessons learned after each project, and have excellent relationships with key providers (e.g., designers, environmental engineers, equipment suppliers, environmental regulators, and municipalities etc.). BQ has extensive experience with the NYSDEC and we work with them to improve and refine our construction techniques to keep environmental impacts to the absolute minimum. BQ Energy has developed several techniques and standard practices for managing risks on closed landfills. We were the company that helped create BQ Energy Development LLC Page 11 of 22 Leasing of the Southold Cutchogue Landfill Property for Renewable Energy July 17, 2020 the permit process in Massachusetts and perfected it in Connecticut and New York, where environmental regulations are some of the strictest in the country. A Health and Safety Plan specifically tailored to this site will be developed and given to the DEC detailing restrictions on types of vehicles permitted on the landfill, a routine for gas monitoring, restrictions on open flames, including smoking, and other safeguards to protect the landfill and its infrastructure. All workers on the site will be required to undergo safety training to protect themselves and the landfill from potential hazard. Additionally, the components of the solar system will be designed specifically to ensure they do not pose any risk to the landfill, the environment, personnel or the community around them. BQ staff has extensive experience putting solar on NY landfills and we bring in the right people to complement our team as necessary. Communication is one of our trademarks of success and we will foster an environment where that communication between all stakeholders results in a well-built project completed near term for the Town.

TECHNICAL PROPOSAL Design layouts, system details and Harvest Report can be found in Appendix 2, including system sizes, quantity of modules, and location and type of inverters. We use PVSyst instead of PV Watts as it gives us a wider range of inputs allowing us more accuracy. We have used it in all of our projects. The results of that analysis are included in Appendix 2. The projects that we are proposing will interconnect under the NYS Standard Interconnect Requirements. The NYSIR applies to projects under 5 MW-AC that interconnect on the distribution network and get their revenue under the VDER tariff. We are proposing a 3.9 MW DC, 3.0 MW AC system on the landfill surface. We will be utilizing SMA Sunny High Power Peaks -125 US with Hanwha 40OW modules at a 25-degree tilt and 180- degree azimuth on GameChange ballasted racking. System sizing is subject to change as the site is analyzed in detail and the project progresses. System sizing is also largely dependent on the existing utility infrastructure in the area. Additionally we will propose a system on the roof of the Waste Collection building onsite. Although significantly smaller we will propose to sell that power to the Town at a discount to current rates. We wish to get access to building plans and Town electric information in order to give a proper proposal on the building. Equipment specification sheets and warranty information have been included in Appendix 3. BQ has largely standardized around the equipment listed below. We find that these top-tier manufactures provide the best quality equipment which lead to easy construction and long-term maintenance. Racking: GameChange Ballasted BQ Energy has used GameChange racking on almost all of our projects. Based in New York City and manufactured in Detroit, GameChange is a landfill solar pioneer. Their pour in place and precast ballast racking has allowed us to develop many landfill projects that were previously considered unbuildable. Modules: Hanwha— Q.PLUS,40OW BQ Energy is planning to use Hanwha Q.Cells 40OW panels for this project. Designed in Germany and manufactured in Georgia, United States; Hanwha is widely considered the Rolls Royce of panels. Hanwha makes their own silicon cells, ensuring high quality control. BQ Energy has these panels installed on several sites and had panels tested for reliability by an independent lab; the lab BQ Energy Development LLC Page 13 of 22 Leasing of the Southold Cutchogue Landfill Property for Renewable Energy July 17, 2020 determined these were among the best panels they' ve reviewed. We have a strong relationship with Hanwha staff and are very pleased with their products performance on our sites. Panels are backed with a 25-year warranty. Inverter: SMA -America SUNNY HIGHPOWER Inverters BQ Energy is specifying SMA Highpower String Inverters on this project. SMA produces high- quality inverters that we have specified on all our string inverter sites that are in currently in development and construction do to their high quality and robustness. SMA is a leader in the industry with a great reputation and they stand firmly behind their products. Batteries: Sungrow 8.5.1.A-2500-9920 AC Coupled Battery System We plan to install a Sungrow 2,500kw/9,920kWh battery system at the site. The Sungrow battery is a scalable battery system that will be charged using solar power, discharging power during peak hours, when the sun is setting and at night. The battery system will provide critical peak demand services for the utility grid. The battery system will be automatically configured to respond to grid demand as requested by the utility through a third parry monitoring system. The battery is backed by a warranty that is expected to last 20 years based on proposed usage. Monitoring System: A1soEnergy A1soEnergy, based in Boulder, Colorado, was founded in 2007 to provide software - as - a - service monitoring solutions for the energy market, with a focus on solar PV. A1soEnergy's mission is to enable the adoption of clean energy technologies by providing end - to - end turnkey solutions that monitor and manage renewable energy systems. A1soEnergy is ranked by GTM Research as the top - selling independent solar monitoring provider in North America (and the fifth largest worldwide) monitoring 6 GW of energy at 17,000 sites worldwide. A1soEnergy offers hundreds of tools and reports to monitor a site for output, alarms, and invoicing to help keep a site operating smoothly. Their equipment is backed by a 5 - year warranty. The Town will be given access to view the site's power generation using a computer or smartphone at any time. The tracking system also issues alerts if production is lower than expected or it detects equipment failure. BQ Energy will also make publicly available a website displaying real-time and historical production values as well as predicted values through Also Energy. The website would show the effect of weather on solar energy production and includes rotating facts about the amount of energy being produced. These facts include how many homes could be powered at that time, how many cars on the road could be offset at that time, and other environmental details.

We offer 5-year optional lease extensions at the same rent rate of$225,000/yr. BQ Energy Development LLC Page 16 of 22 Leasing of the Southold Cutchogue Landfill Property for Renewable Energy July 17, 2020 We offer project purchase price options as outlined below: Project Purchase Price Year 1 NA Due to ITC Year 2 NA Due to ITC Year 3 NA Due to ITC Year 4 NA Due to ITC Year 5 NA Due to ITC Year 6 $4,333,438 Year 7 $4,080,390 Year 8 $3,980,100 Year 9 $3,875,326 Year 10 $3,762,273 Year 11 $3,643,382 Year 12 $3,514,758 Year 13 $3,368,917 Year 14 $3,213,885 Year 15 $3,045,482 Year 16 $2,862,358 Year 17 $2,667,947 Year 18 $2,461,981 Year 19 $2,237,513 Year 20 $1,995,817 Year 21 $11732,005 Year 22 $1,446,956 Year 23 $1,135,415 Year 24 $788,568 Year 25 $412,113 BQ Energy Development LLC Page 17 of 22 Leasing of the Southold Cutchogue Landfill Property for Renewable Energy July 17, 2020 G. PROPOSAL NARRATIVE G.1 SCHEDULE Table 4 below shows an abbreviated schedule; a detailed timeline can be found in Appendix 4. The foundation of a working schedule begins with engaging experienced talent, laying out tasks and objectives and effectively communicating from concept to Commercial Operation. The only effective way to efficiently develop and build a solar system is by keeping in constant contact with all stakeholders. During initial stages we would talk a couple of times a month, more as required. During active stages we will have a standing weekly call to make sure all is moving according to plan and everyone is aware of what is going on and understands their role and the pieces they need to execute with timelines. We take these calls seriously in order to keep the project effectively moving forward. Additionally, we meet in Town offices, or on site as required to effectively communicate objectives and strategies to meet those objectives. It is a fluid process but making sure we have effective communication is at the core.

Upon selection we would fund the development of this project internally. We have financed project construction like the ones we are proposing in a number of different ways with institutions such as the New York Green Bank, Key Bank, and M&T Bank. We have a$30 million debt facility in place with New York Green Bank for construction and term loans for projects located on brownfields and landfills, which we could utilize for this project. Green Bank has been an excellent partner since 2015. We worked with them on our PatterSun 1.3, EsopuSol, Sunlight Beacon, Homeridae, Steel Sun 2 and Mt. Kisco projects. BQ Energy also has strong relationships with M&T Bank and Key Bank, who have also provided funding for these projects. We have demonstrated our deep financing capabilities through the successful completion of multiple noteworthy and challenging solar projects in NY and the northeast. We have adequate cash-on-hand to support the development for our current projects including the Southold Town project upon selection. After development we would plan to own these projects long term. See Appendix 5 for confidential financial information that supports our history of successfully financing BQ Energy Development LLC Page 18 of 22 Leasing of the Southold Cutchogue Landfill Property for Renewable Energy July 17, 2020 projects throughout NY. Also included in the Appendix are letters of support from some of our partners. G.3 PERMITTING AND CONSTRUCTION The Town of Southold Solar Project requires a variety of permits and approvals, all of which are accounted for in the project budget and project schedule shown in this submittal: I- PSEG Interconnection Approval 2- NYS DEC Landfill Post- Closure Use Permit 3- Municipal Approval Process 4- Local Building Permit The PSEG Interconnection Process and Approval. We will determine the appropriate system size with PSEG and follow their interconnection procedures. Interconnection approval is granted after the utility confirms that the area power delivery system can accept the generation as proposed and with utility system upgrade as proposed by an interconnection study. We are familiar with interconnection study and interconnection requirements from our past experience on LI, NY and the northeast. Every utility operates slightly differently but the goal is always the same; protect their equipment, people, grid stability and the community. We are diligent about setting up communication and procedures to make sure all vested parties are on the same page and understand what needs to be done, by whom and by when. Communication has been paramount to our success. This process takes the longest and also determines the largest unknown cost for the project and it must be completed before a project can proceed to financing. We are ready and committed to adhere to an accelerated schedule to complete and submit all applications to PSEG and to work with them effectively to obtain all approvals. We have considerable experience in connecting large scale solar to the grid and will bring that experience to this project to quickly and efficiently work through the interconnection process. The NYSDEC Post-Closure Use Permit is unique to landfill projects. BQ Energy has experience and we have met worked with the DEC many times before (including with DEC Region 1 on Long Island). We will prepare a Work Plan that will be submitted to the DEC on behalf of the Town and will outline the history of the landfill and our construction plans. Our Work Plans contain all of the industry best practices to maintain the integrity of the landfill cap and have never been denied by the DEC. The required Town Approvals will be determined following consultation with the Town. Compliance with zoning and usage requirements are some of the typical approvals. In our experience, the local approvals normally take a few months to work through, and we have included this timing into our project schedule. The SEQRA process has historically been an important step in the permitting of a solar project on a landfill. However, the rules for SEQRA were recently changed when the DEC determined ballasted solar on a landfill will be classified as a Type II action. This means that the DEC acknowledges that solar on landfills does not post a significant environmental risk. The Local Building Permit is a Ministerial Action, which is required to be issued without public comment in the event that the applicant fully complies with all building codes and other existing regulations. We would file for such a permit with a full compliance package. We will comply with all zoning and land use classifications and seek variances as required. BQ Energy Development LLC Page 19 of 22 Leasing of the Southold Cutchogue Landfill Property for Renewable Energy July 17, 2020 BQ Energy has implemented and refined our construction practices over the years to improve constructability, reliability, maintenance, and safety and to minimize risk of damage. We prioritize our projects longevity and maintainability since we are often the long-term owner of our projects. Below is a brief list of standards we use on our projects: • Position string inverters at the edges of rows and group them together to make maintenance faster • With capped landfills, it is essential we do not compromise the membrane in any manner. We use either pre-manufactured or pour in place concrete ballasted racking systems. We follow strict procedures to keep weight of vehicles and equipment well below the maximum allowed and follow established protocols for handling things like concrete (for ballasts). We have done a number of landfill projects now and are well versed in understanding the needs of the landfill cap and how to effectively install our system on it. We have a great reputation with the DEC and other regulatory agencies in charge of these sites. • Increased height of the panels off the ground to minimize the impacts of snow and tall grass, while allowing for more efficient mowing techniques. • Standardized cabling and conduit sizing to reduce losses and decrease the different amount of materials needed to build a site • Standardized, high-end equipment to ensure the site is working at maximum capacity at all times • Standardized Health and Safety Plan that is reviewed by the NYSDEC and outside engineers to ensure minimum risk of injury • Review of and stress for Safety on the jobsite with all personnel and constant communication to be sure Health and Safety Plan is followed. We have a detailed Health and Safety Plan that we follow on every project. To Date BQ has no injuries or violations. • Maintenance of the vegetative cover as it is an important aspect of the landfill work plan GA OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE Metering equipment across all BQ Energy sites is procured from A1soEnergy, founded in 2007 and the national leader in renewable energy monitoring. This equipment includes revenue-grade meters dedicated to our system that will record and transmit data at all times for the project. This system allows for remote viewing access of the site, offering a wealth of information about the project in real time. This data can include overall production data, inverter production data, weather-adjusted performance, environmental benefits, and a host of other information. We will provide the Town with access to data and a link that can be shared publicly to view the site in real time if requested. The end user interface details instantaneous and cumulative power, offsets and more in various timeframes. We monitor all our sites and if there is a problem with production, we are able to quickly roll a crew and resolve the issue keeping production high. All equipment used on this project is backed by full and transferable warranties. All data sheets and warranty information can be found in Appendix 3. BQ Energy Development LLC Page 20 of 22 Leasing of the Southold Cutchogue Landfill Property for Renewable Energy July 17, 2020 BQ will maintain the system for optimal performance and for all manufacturer recommended maintenance and best trade practices. Below is some of the more common maintenance procedures we keep up on. Annually — Clean out transformer and switchgear cabinets and remove any debris or garbage. Inspect the inside cabinets for water damage, rust, or any other damage. Ensure all terminations in the transformer are properly torqued, if possible. This should be performed each spring. Inspect all inverters to ensure they are tightly secured to the mounting system. Inspect all ballast blocks to make sure none are cracking or filled with water. If they are, the cracks should be repaired immediately. A1soEnergy cabinets should be inspected for moisture inside the cabinet. The moisture absorbing packets inside the cabinets should be checked and replaced, if necessary. Inspect the pyrometers and anemometers to ensure they are not dirty or damaged. Biannually—Inspect all panels at the entire site. This should be a check to inspect damage to any panel face,junction box, cables, and grounding wires. Panels should be checked individually to ensure they are bolted securely in place still. If they are not, they should be torqued properly. Periodically — Perform 100% IV Trace testing and analysis when called for on the site. This may be every 3-5 years or sooner depending on output analysis. Infrared photos and videos of the site will be taken to detect any defects or damage to panels. Maintenance Calls — Upon notification that a site is not acting properly, BQ Energy will dispatch a local technician that week to inspect the failed piece of equipment (inverters, A1soEnergy System, Switchgear, breakers, etc.) and make repairs as soon as possible. If a warranty issue is to be claimed, we will determine what material needs to be replaced and provide a shipping address for the repair or replacement parts. Using our A1soEnergy system, we continuously monitor the output of the system on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis. If performance drops unexpectedly outside of an acceptable range, we will send someone out to investigate and determine what the cause is and schedule a repair. Battery Maintenance- We have partnered with STEM Inc. on this project in large part because of their experience with long term battery maintenance. STEM will be responsible for all regular maintenance of the battery to keep our system compliant with our warranty including remote capacity tests of the battery and in person regular maintenance. The Town will be responsible for any water and air quality monitoring and maintenance they are currently required to perform or may be required to perform on the landfills. The Town will have access to the site as necessary to do their reporting and any landfill maintenance. They will have no responsibility for the solar system or for mowing grass in the leased area as we will hire a local company to maintain the vegetation. G.5 WARRANTIES The BQ team has extensive experience installing solar on landfills. We wrote the book in some areas and helped modify it to establish best practices to maintain the integrity of the site, cap and surrounding areas. We will properly install on the landfill and waste collection center roof so that Client existing warranties remain in affect and the landfill system performs as intended. Equipment warranties are included in Appendix 3. BQ Energy Development LLC Page 21 of 22 Leasing of the Southold Cutchogue Landfill Property for Renewable Energy July 17, 2020 H. INSURANCE BQ Energy will obtain all necessary insurances required by the Town. I. SUPPORTIVE SPECIFICATIONS We have successfully developed many projects on brownfields in NY and beyond.

MEMORANDUM To: Alicia Scott, BQ Energy Keith Christensen, BQ Energy From: Ted Bombola, C&A Re: Southold, NY Landfill Solar P50 Harvest Report v0 C&A # 5204.16 Date: March 25, 2020 As requested, I've simulated the energy output for the Southold NY, Landfill Solar PV project. The energy model uses PVSyst V6.86. The simulation models a 3.9 MW-DC, 3.0 MW-AC nominal PV system (DC/AC ratio of 1.30) using fixed tilt racking at 250, with 2-up in portrait configuration, and a ground cover ratio of 0.51. Weather File Synthetic hourly data was generated by the MeteoNorm 7.2 function in PVSyst. MeteoNorm 7.2 is able to interpolate data between weather stations and satellite data to provide monthly GHI estimates, but uses a stochastic model to generate hourly data. The Cutchogue Station, NY meteonorm weather file was used for this simulation. The synthetic hourly data was chosen for this project opposed to a proximal TMY3 file because, after years of experience comparing the two at a variety of sites, data provided by the MeteoNorm function has proven to adequately similar to TMY3 weather files, and provides higher spatial resolution so that satellite data at the exact location of the proposed site can be used. Losses For consistency, typical losses were calibrated to match the beEdison report for Esopus, NY completed on January 17, 2017, with the following exceptions: • Snow cover updated for Cutchogue NY based on NOAA data for 2009-2019 at all stations within 15 miles. Analysis uses DSNW, which is the number of days where it snowed more than ill. • No far shadings, or the effect of nearby hills and/or trees were included in this simulation, which can cause additional annual energy losses on the order of 2-5% using typical offset distances to tree lines. There does not appear to be any hills and/or trees in the vicinity of the project site, therefore it is unlikely that energy production will be signifcantly impacted by far shadings. This model does account for row-to-row shading. Southold Landfill Solar PV March 25, 2020 Harvest Report VO C&A # 5204.16 Page 2 Results The projected annual energy output is 5,053 MWh/yr, which represents a DC capacity factor of 0.1484.

Revenue and Cost Recognition , Customer revenue relating to operating Projects is recognid t the end of each month or, if billed on a date other than month-end, when billed each month. For tax purposes, the Group recognizes revenue when it is received. The Group uses the cost recovery method of accounting for the sale of Project Companies. Under this method, Group does not recognize any income related to a sale transaction until such time as the cost element of the sale has been paid in cash by the customer. Once the cash payments have recovered the seller's costs, all remaining cash receipts (if any) are recorded in income as received. For tax purposes, the Group uses the installment sale method. Other revenue is recognized when received. State Incentive Income is income generated from New York State Energy Research & Development Authority ("NYSERDA")for completing and qualifying for certain state offered incentives. The income is paid as project is completed or energy is generated. 3 Cash Equivalents For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Group considers all short-term debt securities purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Accounts Receivable The Group has determined that no allowance for bad debts need be reported at the present time. Receivables at year end are as follows: 2018 2017 Trinity-Pawling School $4,628 $5,002 City of Derby, CT 1,250 4,274 Religious Campus 13,969 5,698 Town of Esopus, N 8,311 3,731 City of Beacon, NY 9,597 - NYSERDA401,415 451,358 United Illuminating Co. 4 27,540 28,866 Vendors and Other , 0 54,210 TOTAL $466,710 $553,139 Advertising Cost The Group expenses advertising production costs as they are incurred, and advertising communication costs the first time the advertising takes place. Advertising costs for period ending December 31, 2018 was $990, and DecembeP1, 2017 $570. Use of Estimates in Financial Statements Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported support, revenues and expenses. Although management believes the estimates that have been used are reasonable, actual results could vary from the estimates that were used. Disclosure of Subsequent Events BQ Energy Group adopted ASC Topic 856 Subsequent Events. ASC Topic 855 requires disclosure of the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated, 4 and whether that date is the date that the financial statements were issued or available to be issued. Management has evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and disclosure through October 27, 2019, the date the financial statements were available to be issued. Management is not aware of any events subsequent to the statement of financial position date that would require additional adjustment to, or disclosure in, the accompanying financial statements. Capitalization and Investment in Project Assets The Group's projects have five basic phases: (i) pre-development, (ii) development, (iii) contracting and financing and commodity risk management, (iv) engineering and construction and (v) operation and maintenance. During the pre-development sub- phase, milestones are created to ensure that a project is financially viable. Project viability is obtained when it becomes probable that costs incurred will generate future economic benefits sufficient to recover these costs. Examples of milestones required for a viable project include the following: • identification, selection anciacquisition (typically via a lease or lease option) of sufficient land required for project; • confirmation of a market for electricity and RECs sufficient to support the project; • confirmation of engineering feasibility and estimated electrical output; • confirmation of the potential to interconnect to the electric grid; • determination of limited environmental sensitivity, local community receptivity, and ability to obtain required permits and approvals. l® ■ All project costs are expensed during the pre-development phase. Once the milestones for development are achieved, a project is moved from the pre-development phase into the development and engineering and construction phases. Costs incurred in these phases are capitalized as incurred, included within construction in progress, and not depreciated until placed into commercial service. Fixed Assets & Depreciation Once a project is placed into operation, all accumulated costs will be reclassified as fixed assets, and become subject to depreciation. Fixed assets are recorded at cost. Depreciation for financial statement purposes is computed using the straight-line method over a 30-year period from when the projects are placed in service. For tax reporting, the Group uses straight-line depreciation for utility upgrades and accelerated depreciation for solar projects and other fixed assets. Income Tax Status All entities part of the combined group, with the consent of their members, have elected under the Internal Revenue Code to be treated as partnerships. In lieu of business 5 income taxes, all items of income, gain, loss, deduction, and credit are passed through to the members of a partnership, who are taxed on their proportionate share of the Group's taxable income. Therefore, no provision or liability for federal income taxes has been included in the financial statements. NOTE 2 - PREPAID EXPENSES A schedule of Prepaid Expenses for the years ending 2017 and 2016 is as follows: 2018 2017 Prepaid Rent 3,643 3,537 Prepaid Monitoring Services -0- 18,568 Prepaid OM&A Fees 36,267 -0- Prepaid Annual Loan Fees 28,145 1,250 TOTAL 68,055 23,355 NOTE 3 — DERIVATIVES / INTEREST RATE SWAP The Group uses derivatives to manage risks related to interest rate movements. Interest rate swap contracts designated and qualifying as cash flow hedges are reported at fair value. The Group's interest rate..fisk management strategy is to stabilize cash flow requirements by maintaining ,�erest rate swap contracts to convert variable-rate debt to a fixed rate. As disclosed in Note 6, the note payable to Key Benk Atibnal Association at the end of 2017 bears interest at a floating rate. To protect against increases in the effective rate that the Group pays on the Secured Loan, on April 9, 2016, the Group put in place an interest rate swap agreement with KeyBank, whereby the Group receives a floating rate one-month LIBOR + 3.5% and pays a fixed rate of 5.23%, on a reducing nominal principal amount starting at $1,033,900 with reductions corresponding to principal payments on the Secured Loan As of December 31, 2018, Group records an Accumulated Swap Gain of $35,466, based on valuation provided by KeyBank, in comprehensive income and reclassifies it into income when interest is paid. 6 NOTE 4 — DEBT AND CAPITAL LEASING AGREEMENTS The Group has the following debt arrangements: Project PatterSun, Green Derby PatterSun 1.3 EsopuSol LLC Sunlight Company NY LLC LLC LLC Beacon LLC Lender M&T Bank KeyBank NY Green NY Green NY Green Bank Bank Bank Amount Outstanding $694,318 $908,424 $1,207,473 $967,393 $2,906,453 at 12/31/18 LIBOR + 3.5% 4.5%, steps to 4.5%, steps 5.5%, steps to Interest Rate Approx 5.19% swaped to 6.0% on to 6.0%on 7.0% on 5.23%fixed 4/1/22 7/1/22 4/1/23 These loans are guaranteed by the Partner Companies and by their principals (Paul Curran, Jim Falsetti, and TiLn Ryan).

The projects could operate by late 2021 and combined would be among the largest installations of solar energy on landfill properties in New York. Once the full build out of the projects is completed, Yates County would receive almost $200,000 in annual rent plus additional benefits in reduced price electric power sales. BQ Energy was selected as the result of a 2019 Request for Proposal issued by Yates County based upon both economic benefit and overall qualifications and approach to development of the two projects. Now that the Lease has been signed and approved by the Yates County Legislature, BQ Energy will begin to finalize design work, begin electrical interconnection studies with NYSEG, and also begin to consult with the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation regarding permit matters. The capped landfill properties are in the Town of Torrey (off Longpoint Road) and the Town of Potter (off Hagerty Road). Each site will require normal appropriate coordination with the towns and communities. The solar project designs will involve the use of above ground ballast block foundations to maintain the environmental integrity of the capped landfills. Commenting on the projects, Yates County Administrator Winona Flynn indicates "Yates County is thrilled to have this come to fruition. Joe Reed, our Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds began the investigation of the feasibility of solar facilities on County landfills over a year and a half ago. The experience and professionalism that BQ Energy has exhibited throughout this process made them the most logical choice for us. The revenue and savings benefit of this project to our County is substantial." Yates County Legislator and Chair of Public Works, Dan Banach adds "This is a great use of land that was deemed non-usable for years and we were able to turn it into something so positive for our County." "Yates County deserves a great deal of credit for having the vision to initiate this development" added Jim Falsetti, Director of BQ Energy Development. "These landfill properties have been large dead sites for decades. By proactively seeking to move these long-term environmentally friendly projects forward, Yates County will bring both economic and environmental benefits to the community for decades to come. BQ Energy has safely constructed and operated many landfill solar projects in New York State, and we look forward to working with the Yates County communities on these exciting and innovative projects." About BQ Energy Development: BQ Energy is a national leader in developing renewable energy projects on landfills and brownfields, and work exclusively on such sites. They have installed more solar projects on landfills and brownfields in Western New York than any other firm. They have expertise in photovoltaic project design on landfills, electrical interconnection designs and supporting information, landfill reuse applications, project finance and all other solar landfill project development activities. They are headquartered in Wappingers Falls, NY in the Hudson Valley.

If you look really close under the front few rows, you can see the ballasted foundation blocks that sit on the landfill surface. ski yid s.

'r 7/9/2020 Solar farm planned at former Franklin County landfill site-News-The Columbus Dispatch-Columbus,OH afte Tolumb" 1131*sPatch Solar farm planned at former Franklin County landfill site By Beth Burger .................................... The Columbus Dispatch Posted at 6:00 AM A site that used to serve as Franklin County's landfill between Jackson Pike and Interstate 71 in the Grove City area will be the home of a new solar farm, Columbus Solar Park. The project,which is tentatively set for completion in 2022,will generate 50 megawatts of power per year. That's enough to power about 5,000 households, said Paul Curran, managing director of BQ Energy LLC, a New York-based company that specializes in constructing solar and wind projects on brownfields. The company will develop,build and operate a solar energy facility once the purchase agreements of the renewable energy are committed to underwrite the project, Columbus Solar Project LLC, according to officials. The Solid Waste Authority of Central Ohio,which owns the 186-acre site, is leasing 173 acres of the land to the company for 25 years,per a contract agreement. https://www.dispatch.com/news/20200709/solar-farm-planned-at-former-franklin-county-landfill-site 1/3 7/9/2020 Solar farm planned at former Franklin County landfill site-News-The Columbus Dispatch-Columbus,OH BQ Energy will pay approximately$70 million to install the solar panels and SWACO will receive an escalating rental payment per megawatt of installed electricity capacity. "As we get close to the commercial operation,we would love to have a long-term supply contract and solar is uniquely positioned to do that because we don't have a fuel cost. So we could sell power at a fixed price for 20 years to a potential buyer,"Curran said. Over the course of the 25-year contract, SWACO anticipates the panels will generate $12 million. Each year, SWACO spends as much as $400,000 to maintain the old landfill, which was used from 1967 to 1985. Methane gas,produced from decomposing materials, still has to be burned off from an underground piping system. (The quality of the methane gas is not high enough for use, officials said.) No buildings can be constructed on the site because decomposing materials underneath continue to settle. SWACO began managing the closed landfill in 1987 and the site was repurposed as Phoenix Links Golf Course in 2000. But the golf course closed in 2015 due to issues with finding an operator. Officials said solar arrays are considered acceptable to place on the site and would benefit the community. "This is a great use of this property and before it was costing SWACO anywhere from $200,000 to $400,000 a year to maintain the property,"said Scott Perry, SWACO's operations director. "This will make the property financially self- sustaining ... (and) will drive greater environmental effects here within our region by producing clean, renewable energy. So it's a very exciting project." Any additional revenue from the solar facility will be used to"offset SWACO's operating expenses, develop more educational programming, add to central Ohio's existing recycling and composting infrastructure, and/or keep the fees low for haulers that deliver waste to the landfill," SWACO officials said in a released statement. https://www.dispatch.com/news/20200709/solar-farm-planned-at-former-franklin-county-landfill-site 2/3 7/9/2020 Solar farm planned at former Franklin County landfill site-News-The Columbus Dispatch-Columbus,OH The company still has to do complete design work as well as a number of studies. "We've had several commercial conversations with American Electric Power (AEP) over the years. And we expect that they'll be very supportive and really a bit of a fan of this type of development," Curran said. "They have no role in the project right now. But we're eager to talk to them about it." There have been other similar projects in Ohio. Last year, the closed Brooklyn landfill in Cuyahoga County opened a solar array ................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ on about 17 acres of the closed 75-acre landfill, according to Cleveland.com. Aside from the Columbus project, BQ Energy also is in the process of building solar arrays at two former coal mines and one former power plant site in Ohio, Curran said. The company developed and built the largest existing solar project on a landfill in Annapolis, Maryland, two years ago. bburger@dispatch.com ............................................................................... @ByBethBurger ........................................................ https://www.dispatch.com/news/20200709/solar-farm-planned-at-former-franklin-county-landfill-site 3/3
