Koda Reopening Letter

February 12, 2014

Dear Neighbor:

I am happy to let you know that on February 12th, Koda Energy returned to full biomass-produced energy output.

As you know, we suspended operations following a fire on our property in April 2013. The cause of the fire was determined to most likely be an ember from a piece of equipment igniting a dust particle or wood chip, which ignited material in two of our silos. This determination helped inform our planning process as we began making decisions about our future operations.
