4. Hydro Power Scheme<br />
Overview<br />
The property has been issued with a 30 year resource consent for power generation from Deer<br />
Creek on the Southern side of the property.<br />
Power is measured in kilowatt hours (kWh) and the rate attached to this is generally called a spot<br />
rate – the rate the wholesale market is willing to pay for one unit of power. The rate is seasonal and<br />
can vary from 3 cents per hour over summer to 10 cents per hour over winter.<br />
Based on this variance we have used an average of 7.5 cents per kW hour.<br />
Deer Creek<br />
Deer Creek has been measured to produce a minimum of 1.02 cumecs of constant flow water per<br />
second. There has been an independent consultant evaluate the resource and he has based his<br />
methodology on 0.5 cumecs, the results follow along with our methodology.<br />
0.25 cumecs = 138 kWh @ 0.075 = $90,666 – 3% line downtime = $87,946<br />
1.02 cumecs = 561 kWh @ 0.075 = $368,588 – 3% line downtime = $357,530<br />
.

A unique property with diversity of income potential. Currently grazing beef and dairy cattle, the<br />
property has recently undergone major development, increasing the grazeable area on the huge<br />
river flats and river frontages. The high rainfall and free draining soils make this a wonderful dairy<br />
conversion opportunity.
