Poseidon Resources Huntington Beach
Seawater Desalination Project
Clean Energy Capital
 Hired June 2014
 Provide independent financial analysis
 David Moore – Managing Director
 Provided similar support to San Diego County
Water Authority (SDCWA) on the Carlsbad
Desalination Project
 Draft report released on September 26, 2014
10
Key Findings
 Poseidon’s estimates, figures and financial plan
are reasonable
 Poseidon’s estimated 2014 project unit cost is
$1,871/af
 Clean Energy Capital’s “p50” estimate is $1,922/af
 Poseidon’s treatment plant design, financing plan,
and proposed partnership with OCWD are similar
to the SDCWA/Carlsbad project
11
Proposed Poseidon / OCWD Partnership
 Poseidon would finance, design, construct, startup and operate the project
 OCWD would enter into a 30-year water purchase
agreement with Poseidon
 Clean Energy Capital’s analysis assumes that
OCWD would sell the water to interested retail
agencies

OCWD – How the HB Project Fits
• May 2013 - The District’s Board of Directors unanimously resolved that it is the
policy of the District to consider and develop a variety of local water resources
– including seawater desalination - to ensure sufficient water supplies are
always available to the residents and businesses in the service territory.
• The Board resolution states: “without the development of additional new local water
resources the Groundwater Producers will be forced to significantly increase the
amount of imported water they require.”
• OCWD 2014 Long-term Facilities Plan Update includes the Huntington Beach
project.
• Plan identifies an anticipated 20% increase – 90,000 acre feet - in water demand
within the OCWD territory by 2035.
• The Huntington Beach project’s 56,000 acre feet per year capacity is the single
largest source of new, local drinking water supply available to the County.
