Not Applicable. Attachment to Application for 313 Appraised Value Limitation by High Chaparral Solar Project, LLC to Danbury ISD Tab 4 Detailed description of the project. In Tab 4, attach 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. High Chaparral Solar Project, LLC (“High Chaparral”), is the project entity formed to facilitate the development of a utility-scale photovoltaic (“PV”) solar energy project (The “Project”). High Chaparral Solar is a wholly owned subsidiary of ENEL Green Power North America, Inc., (“ENEL”). ENEL is one of the most successful independent renewable energy development companies in the U.S. ENEL is actively evaluating renewable energy project opportunities in locations across the United States at various stages of development. High Chaparral Solar seeks to develop and interconnect 100 megawatts-ac (“MWac”) of power and 30MWac of battery storage into the ERCOT market. High Chaparral Solar is requesting an appraised value limitation from Danbury ISD for a proposed solar energy project using PV solar energy panels and transmission facilities. High Chaparral Solar has not entered into any agreements for appraised value limitation with any other ISD. The solar energy facility and its associated infrastructure will be constructed entirely within Brazoria County, Texas. A map showing the location of the solar energy facility is included as Attachment 11a. High Chaparral Solar applied to ERCOT and was assigned IGNR # 23INR0157 for the solar generating facility & IGNR # 23INR0158 for the battery storage facility both being assigned on March 01, 2021. The project has not previously been known by any other names other than High Chaparral Solar Project, LLC. The Project will have a total estimated capacity of 100 MWac of power and 30 MWac of battery storage all of which will be located within Danbury ISD. The permanent battery storage facility will only be used for the High Chaparral Solar, LLC project. The Project is located on approximately 900 acres of contiguous land located within Danbury ISD. High Chaparral Solar has obtained a lease and option agreement with the property owner needed to construct the Project. The Project will consist of solar PV modules, connected to form strings, which are subsequently connected in parallel and mounted on rows of horizontal, single axis trackers. The Project will also feature central power inverters and transformers to convert DC power to AC electricity. In addition to the major equipment, there will be the supporting electrical collection system and supporting facilities to be constructed and improved as necessary, project battery storage facility with a capacity of 30 MWac, and overhead transmission lines. Construction of the solar energy facility is expected to take approximately 12 months to complete, contingent upon favorable economics for the Project. While the solar energy resource for Brazoria County, Texas is excellent, there are many favorable locations for solar energy projects that could be developed across the United States. High Chaparral Solar considers a Limitation of Appraised Value Agreement with Danbury ISD as a key and invaluable portion of the Project. Attachment to Application for 313 Appraised Value Limitation by High Chaparral Solar Project, LLC to Danbury ISD In today’s competitive energy market, project investors and power purchasers require solar energy projects to have secured tax incentives, so that they can compete with solar energy projects across the U.S. Solar energy facilities are operating and under development in many states throughout the country. The United States now has over 71.3 gigawatts (“GW”) of installed solar capacity, enough to power millions of homes, according to the Solar Energy Industries Association (“SEIA”). In Quarter 3 of 2019, the U.S. solar market installed over 2.6 GW, primarily driven by the utility-scale PV segment. While California has historically been the largest state market, other states are growing, such as: North Carolina, Arizona, Florida, Nevada; together with Texas, these states make up the top six markets for highest total installations in 2019. As represented by the depiction from SEIAs 2019 report for the top 10 states. Locations for the development of solar energy projects are abundant and the Applicant can locate a project in a wide variety of locations across the United States, should it be unable to develop a competitive project in Texas that is able to generate returns sufficient enough to attract investment capital. As construction is one of the most significant costs in creating a solar energy facility, the physical improvements of the Project, once completed, cannot be feasibly moved to another location. The solar modules and supporting infrastructure are long-lived assets engineered and designed specifically for this Project location. The cost of installing the improvements on the site is substantial and the cost to remove, redesign, and relocate the improvements to a different location would be prohibitive. High Chaparral Solar was formed for the express purpose of developing a photovoltaic solar energy facility that could help bring significant economic development to the area. ENEL identified Texas, and in particular Brazoria County and Danbury ISD, for it’s strong solar energy resource, access to available transmission capacity and the ERCOT market, and favorable property tax incentives under the Tax Code for Chapter 312 abatement and Chapter 313 Appraised Value Limitation. For these reasons, High Chaparral Solar seeks to develop and build the proposed Project as described throughout this Application. As of May 2021, High Chaparral Solar has no existing improvement in place. High Chaparral Solar has invested additional capital in interconnection studies with ERCOT, environmental and wildlife studies, and in leasing land for the Project, among other development activities. Attachment to Application for 313 Appraised Value Limitation by High Chaparral Solar Project, LLC to Danbury ISD Should the Appraised Value Limitation be granted, High Chaparral Solar has created a development and investment plan that is capitalized to implement the Project. Without such a limitation, the Project, competing against other Texas projects that have qualified, would likely be forced to redeploy its assets and capital to other states competing for similar solar energy projects. Attachment to Application for 313 Appraised Value Limitation by High Chaparral Solar Project, LLC to Danbury ISD Tab 5 Documentation to assist in determining if limitation is a determining factor. Chapter 313.026© states “the applicant may submit information to the Comptroller that would provide a basis for an affirmative determination under Subsection © (2).” If you answered “yes” to any of the questions in Section 8, attach supporting information in Tab 5. 2. Has the applicant entered into any agreements, contracts or letters of intent related to the proposed project? High Chaparral Solar Project, LLC has entered into the following representative agreements and contracts for the development of a project within Danbury ISD: • Grants of lease and easement covering approximately 900 acres in Brazoria County; • Interconnect Studies and Agreement; and • Third-party contracts for development-related work, such as resource estimation, legal review, and construction planning. 7. Is the applicant evaluating other locations not in Texas for the proposed project? Yes. The ENEL management team is uniquely qualified to develop and construct PV solar energy projects in the United States with favorable solar energy resource. With a combined 20+ years of experience in the renewable energy industries, the ENEL team has a proven track record of developing, financing, and constructing large-scale renewable energy projects. Our collective experience includes wind and solar projects in the U.S. Based on this experience, the management team evaluates all potential projects for feasibility, finance-ability, and the economic returns they represent in comparison to other project opportunities both OUTSIDE the State of Texas as well as WITHIN the State of Texas. Other locations being evaluated include, but are not limited to: Oklahoma Missouri South Carolina Nebraska Georgia Virginia Kansas California Oklahoma Nevada New York Idaho Rhode Island Wyoming New Connecticut Mexico Iowa New Hampshire Minnesota Vermont North Dakota Illinois Attachment to Application for 313 Appraised Value Limitation by High Chaparral Solar Project, LLC to Danbury ISD For these reasons, ENEL studies various competing sites throughout the market areas outside and inside the State of Texas where solar energy development is attractive. Without a Value Limitation program, ENEL would seek to move to alternative sites OUTSIDE of the State of Texas. High Chaparral Solar Project, LLC is currently in a period of evaluation to determine whether the identified site in Danbury ISD represents the best location or whether redeployment of its development resources and capital to other power markets in the United States is more advisable. As such, the development resources necessary to advance the planned 100 MWac High Chaparral Solar could be redeployed to other renewable energy development projects in other power markets in the United States. Therefore, a 313 Limitation of Appraised Value Agreement is a vital tax incentive necessary to ensure the Project is on a level playing field with other solar energy projects with similar incentives. Without the requested limitation, the Project will be unable to generate sufficient operating margins and net income to produce economically competitive energy and associate returns necessary to attract tax and sponsor equity investment. Such third-party investment is mandatory to finance the projected capital costs of approximately $112.240 M needed to purchase solar modules and other infrastructure and to fund the construction of the facility. 10. Are you submitting information to assist in the determination as to whether the limitation on appraised value is a determining factor in the applicant’s decision to invest capital and construct the project in Texas? The information provided in this Attachment and throughout the Application has been assembled to provide the reviewer with the best possible information to make an assessment and determination of the critical nature of the Limitation on Appraised Value to the feasibility of High Chaparral Solar Project, LLC.

House Bill 1470 altered the jobs requirement be adding Section 313-025 (f-I) to permit a school district’s board of trustees to make a finding that the job requirement could be waived if the job requirement exceeds the industry standard for the number of employees reasonably necessary for the operation of the facility of the property owner that is described in the application. High Chaparral Solar Project, LLC, requests that Danbury ISD’s Board of Trustees make such a finding and waive the job creation requirement for the permanent jobs. Based on the industry standard, the size and scope of this project will require approximately five (5) permanent jobs. As background information on the creation of the full-time jobs by solar energy projects, these types of projects create a large number of full-time, temporary jobs during the construction phase, but require a small number of highly skilled technicians to operate a solar energy project once construction operations cease and commercial operations begin. The permanent employees of a solar energy project maintain, and service solar energy units, underground electrical connections, substations, and other infrastructure associated with the safe and reliable operation of the project. Typically, solar PV projects of 100 to 200 MW in size require one to two full-time onsite employees, although this number varies depending on the units selected as well as the support and technical assistance offered by the PV manufacturer. In addition to the onsite employees described, there may be asset managers or technicians who supervise, monitor, and support the solar energy project operations from offsite locations.

(g) Value and Term of Abatement. Abatement shall be granted effective with the January 1 valuation date immediately following the date of the Commissioners Court Order granting the abatement and approving the abatement application. Commissioners Court shall consider the percent of value and the term of the abatement based upon the overall value of the project and the number of new jobs being created. The term of abatement may be up to 10 years or one-half (1/2) of the productive life of the improvement, whichever is less. The "productive life" will be calculated from the effective date of the tax abatement and the date the equipment ceased to be in service. The abatement may be extended through an initial agreement and a subsequent agreement may be required to comply with state law regarding the term of the reinvestment zone. If it is determined that the abatement period would better benefit the County and the Applicant by defe1Ting the commencement date beyond the January 1 following the Commissioners Court Order granting the abatement and approving the abatement application, the County may defer the commencement date of the abatement period to a future date certain. The deferral of the commencement date will not allow the duration of the abatement period to extend beyond ten (10) years. However, in no event shall the abatement begin later than the January 1 following the commencement of construction. If a modernization project includes facility replacement, the abated value shall be the value of the new unit(s) less the value of the old unit(s). New eligible properties must be in active service and operation as part of a facility operating in a producing capacity for a period equal to double the abatement period (i.e. seven year abatement, then in producing capacity for 14 years) in order to receive the full term of the abatement granted and not be subject to the term reduction and recapture/payment obligation provisions. (h) Economic Qualification. In order to be eligible for designation as a reinvestment zone and to qualify for tax abatement the planned improvement: (1) must be reasonably expected to increase and must actually increase the value of the property in the amount of $1 million or more; (2) must create employment for at least 10 people on a full-time (40 hours per week equivalent) basis in Brazoria County for the duration of the abatement period at the abated facility site Revised/Adopted effective06/23/2020 Page 5 Packet Pg. 192 6.K.3.a described in the tax abatement application; or alternatively, must retain and prevent the loss of employment of 10 employees or fifty percent (50%) of the existing number of employees, at the time of application, employed at or in connection with the existing facility containing the abated facility site described in the tax abatement application, whichever is greater, for the duration of the abatement period. The following is applicable to the employment retention/preventing loss of employment requirement: a. "Existing facility" is the facility described in Section 2 (a) that will be expanded or modernized and which contains the proposed improvements to be abated. A manufacturing or processing unit or units of a larger plant complex that separately comprise a manufacturing or production sub-unit of the larger plant shall be considered the existing facility for purposes of the Section 2(h)(2) employment retention requirement (that the planned improvements cause the retention or prevention of loss of employment of 10 employees or 5 0% of the employees of the existing facility, whichever is greater). For example, if a large plant complex has a sub-unit that produces chlorine and 100 employees are employed at or in connection with that unit, an expansion or modernization of all or part of that facility must result in the retention of at least 50 employees employed at or in connection with the expanded or modernized "existing facility" in order for the facility improvements to qualify for abatement. b. Employees of a larger plant unit transferred or assigned to and employed at or in connection with a new sub-unit containing the planned improvements, constructed on undeveloped land constituting the proposed abated facility site/reinvestment zone shall be considered "created" employment for purposes of this sub-section. The proposed number of employees to be employed at the abated facility as stated in the abatement application for the property that is the subject of the tax abatement agreement (including the projected creation or retention of employment) must be maintained for the duration of the abatement period at the abated facility site. For purposes of this sub-section, in order for a planned improvement to be considered as preventing the loss of employment or retaining employment, the abated facility/project must be necessary in order to retain or keep employment at levels as indicated in the application and in order to retain the proposed number of employees at the abated facility as indicated in the application. The owner/ Applicant seeking to qualify on the basis of retention or preventing loss of employment must provide a detailed statement as an attachment to its application affirmatively representing compliance with this sub section and explaining the necessity of this project to prevent loss of employment. Any variance from the requirements of this sub-section is subject to approval of Commissioners Court in accordance with the variance section of these Guidelines & Criteria. (3) must be not expected to solely or primarily have the effect of transferring employment from one part of the county to another part of the county. A variance may be requested relative to this provision which approval shall be at the sole discretion of the County. (4) must be necessary because capacity cannot be provided efficiently utilizing existing improved property; Additionally, the owner of the project: Revised/ Adopted effective06/23/2020 Page 6 Packet Pg. 193 6.K.3.a (5) must provide for and pay, at the time of filing an application for tax abatement, a non-refundable application fee of $1,000. A part of the application fee will be dedicated by Brazoria County to economic development programs authorized by Local Government Code, Section 3 81.004. (6) must file a plan statement with application demonstrating willingness and planned efforts to use qualified Brazoria County union and/or nonunion vendors and services where applicable in the construction and operations of the facility. Brazoria County vendors and services must be competitive with non-county union and/or nonunion vendors and services regarding price, quality, safety, availability and ability to perform. It is preferred that applicant seek qualified workers who are United States citizens and veterans and also legal residents prior to seeking workers from other countries. (7) will annually, for the term of the abatement, contribute .000207 of the value reported in "Part IV Section F" of the abatement application ( estimated value of abated improvements at the conclusion of the abatement period). Air carriers receiving abatement will contribute an amount equal to .000207 of the estimated value of the personal property of the air carrier indicated in its Application. Each project will contribute no more than $25,000 for projects $500 million or less in capital investment and no more than $50,000 for project greater than $500 million in capital investment nor less than $2,000 annually to be used specifically to fund economic development in Brazoria County as authorized by Local Government Code, Section 381.004. The annual contribution shall be paid to Brazoria County through the County Auditor's Office on or before January 1 of each year of the tax abatement contract term. (8) must not file with the Brazoria County Appraisal District a valuation or taxpayer protest or notice of protest pursuant to the Texas Prope1iy Tax Code during the abatement period legally protesting the valuation of the abated improvements of a manufacturing facility pursuant to an appraisal method that produces a valuation of improvements based on each improvement's value as a separate item of personal property rather than the improvements' value as integral fixtures of a producing manufacturing facility. An owner's legal protest of the improvements' value pursuant to the Texas Property Tax Code must be based on and use accepted appraisal methods and techniques allowed by law (Texas Prope1iy Tax Code) and uniform standards of professional appraisal practice.
