A TRT Sustainable Project means….

• Consistency with our land use vision –

• Respect for our land, our people, our

rights and title

• Respect for Tlingit connection to the

land and traditional commerce (our way of life)

Examples….

Our r fir irst t Hyd ydro ro Pro roject ect

• TRT as developers

– A two decade old idea – Had several ‘almost’ proponents – TRT took charge, we had no money but had a strong idea and belief, and we developed relationships – We knew we needed to build for Atlin, and plan to expand later

Relatio ationships nships

• TRT formed new relationships with BC

Hydro to complete a Community Energy Plan (CEP), with BC & Canada

• With our partners we were able to

develop capacity and carry out ever increasingly complex prjcts successfully

• These successes reinforced our belief

and commitment to own 100% of our project

• The expansion will be significantly

bigger and we will likely be looking for partners as we move forward

Ow Ownersh ership ip

• In the first project TRT invested the

money it had, a buck or two

• TRT formed a company to carry out

the project and then the Taku River Tlingit Government stepped back and let its corporate people go to work

• Xeitl Limited Partnership built the

first project

• Tlingit Homeland Energy Limited is

the proponent in the expansion

Res espon ponsib sibili ilities ties

• TRTFN never allowed XLP one

moment of relief from their responsibilities to the environment, to the Tlingit people, and to TRT

• XLP had to pay all costs TRT

incurred as a result of the XLP development in TRT territory

• This will hold true for THEL and the

expansion project as well

The Expansion Project

• Approximate 5MW ‘modified’ run of river
• 32 sq km lake (Surprise Lake) is main source
• Surprise Lake natural annual rise is 1 meter
• Twin existing 4 km 48” HDPE and steel

penstock

• Twin exisitng 2 pelton turbines but will be

slightly larger output 3-4MW

• Downstream 2MW installation
• 100 km power line to connect to Yukon grid
• Will diminish Yukon GHG emissions by 14,000

tonnes annually for the life of the project

Our land is

• ur

future….
