Detailed Description of the Project

Provide a detailed description of the scope of the proposed project, including, at a minimum, the type and planned use of real and tangible personal property, the nature of the business, a timeline for

property construction or installation, and any other relevant information. Coyote Wind, LLC (Coyote Wind) is requesting to amend the appraised value limitation from Snyder Independent School District (ISD) for the Coyote Wind Project (the “Project”), a proposed wind powered electric generating facility in Scurry County. The proposed Snyder ISD Project (this amendment to the application) will be constructed within the Dermott Wind Reinvestment Zone No. 1 created by Scurry County on March 1, 2016. A map showing the location of the project is included in TAB 11. The proposed Project is anticipated to have a capacity of approximately 242.5 MW located in Snyder ISD. The exact number and location of wind turbines and size of each turbine will vary depending upon ongoing wind and siting analysis, turbine manufacturer’s availability, prices, and the megawatt generating capacity of the Project when completed. Current estimated plans are to install 48 of the 4.50 MW Siemens and 11 of the 2.415 Siemens turbines with all turbines located in Snyder ISD. The Applicant requests a value limitation for all facilities and equipment installed for the Project, including but not limited to, wind turbines, towers, foundations, roadways, O&M building, meteorological towers, collection system, communication system, electric substation, electric switchyard, electric transformers, generation transmission line and associated towers, and interconnection facilities. Full construction of the Project is anticipated to begin in the 3rd Quarter of 2019 with completion by December 31, 2020. *NOTE: The map in TAB 11 shows the potential locations of the 59 wind turbines, O&M building and the collector substation, all being within Snyder ISD boundaries; however, the final number of turbines and the location of each of these facilities is dependent upon ongoing siting analysis.
