The Pacific Ocean islands have common problems. The majority of them are significantly worse compare to the same problems of the mainland. The following problems are:

!!High energy cost caused by overpriced mineral energy (diesel, fuel oil, etc..) compare to continental prices for the same type of mineral energy;

!!Extremely high fuel and lubricants cost for vehicles and transportation;

!!Water deficiency and its high cost (no grants are available); !!As a result, there are many incentives and grants available that don’t

get used over a long period of time. Local companies have difficulties doing business on islands and at the same time they are limited to the outside markets to sell their good/services;

!!The above problems have a negative influence on locals. The majority of population lives on welfare and relies on social programs, which designed to promote the basic physical and material well-being of people in need.

ENERGY COST 0.35 – 0.55 $/kwh, GAS/DIESEL COST 5 – 6 $/bbl, !"! 36 – 43 $/MMBTU



4I’s-CNMI has a great opportunity to reduce the amount of problems on the island by using its founders’ knowledge, experience, and resources to leverage new technologies and climatic features to provide opportunities for using relatively inexpensive and eco-friendly mineral/energy resources - natural gas (shale, methane etc.)

Gas Cost 4 – 15 $/MMBTU, Where the first number is the wholesale cost of 1

MMBTU in the USA and the last number is the wholesale cost for 1 MMBTU for one of the biggest consumer

nearby - Japan


Currently, the Pacific islands do not use natural gas (NG) due to lack of a port infrastructures, which would allow receiving of tankers with compressed natural gas (CNG) of amounts between 35 and 265 thousand cubic meters at the same time.

4I’s-CNMI has ready solutions for NG delivery to the Pacific islands, including delivery of NG to an

individual homeowner.


4I’s-CNMI has the technical know-how and the political wherewithal to become a winner of an RFP which is expected in 2013. This proposal will lead to a 20-25 year PPA with a local utility company in the CNMI - The Commonwealth Utility Corporation (CUC).

In this case

People, businesses, companies (private or governmental) of the CNMI will be able to receive power and eco-friendly fuels by paying less, which would significantly improve people’s lives, business and social situation on the island.


4I’s-CNMI creates a power plant in the CNMI, which will utilize all the best local natural resources, combined with new technologies and economical solutions: !!The “goldmine” of the Northern Mariana islands is the constant eastern trade

winds, discovered in 1521 by Magellan; !!Increased solar radiation due to being located in the tropic zone.

These natural gifts will provide 50-60% of the electricity STRUCTURE RES:

"!10-12 ct. wind turbines with the total capacity of 30 MW; "!Solar PV panels with the total capacity of 10 MW.

Gas technologies will provide 40-50% of electricity, including: "!Gas turbines, fuel cells and/or a combination of gas turbines with fuel cells

with the total capacity of 25 MW.

Fuel cell technologies will allow the use of hydrogen produced using excess energy during periods of above year average wind speeds . This will be cost-

beneficial and prevent price volatility for LNG.

Why 4I’s-CNMI Will Succeed? There are many reasons, but this presentation is not intended to wear out the audience by

presenting countless reasonable and realistic factors. So, here are just a few of them:

"!For many years Victor Popolitov has been projecting, building and operating autonomous facilities to produce power, water and telecommunication services in remote communities, where the main focus was on mining, wood processing, farming, fishing etc.

"!For the past four years our international team (Russian, USA, Singapore, Israel, the CNMI) studied and researched the market, visited many exhibits and conferences, made new relationships in the field of renewables and natural gas with the following companies: NREL, AWEA, ASES, HOMER Energy, ORMAT, University of Hawaii, First Wind, FGE, Avelar Energy, FCE, OPRA, INDOX, Siemens, Vestas, GE, Applied NG Fuels, Air Flow, Marine Service, Maersk Line and many others.

"!During 2012-2013 4I’s-CNMI financed a detailed feasibility study of the energy sector in the CNMI. The feasibility study was presented in the form of a report by one of the most competent companies in the island energy sector - HOMER Energy. They have done many projects on the islands of Hawaii, Virgin Islands, including Necker Island, owned by Richard Branson. Currently, 4I’s-CNMI is awaiting for land granted by Governor Inos (on a contract base) to perform the initial wind assessment in the CNMI.

"!During 2011-2012 Victor Popolitov alone with Peter Lilienthal, Ph.D. and CEO of HOMER Energy and Gregory J. Koebel, O’Connor Berman Dotts and Banes showed presentations for local administration, the CNMI Senate, and business organizations. During that period of time Mr. Popolitov had a meeting with the Governor of the CNMI, representatives from the administration and leading business men.
