Energy Committee Mission

Our vision for Southeast Alaska is to reduce, to the maximum extent possible, the use of diesel as a primary fuel source for the generation of electricity. This will be accomplished through the utilization of the region's plentiful hydroelectric potential and the development of an interconnected transmission system to share these resources throughout the region.

Program Goals

  1. Reduce dependence of fossil fuels. This is critical in light of the recent price increases in oil.
  2. Bring affordable hydro power to communities where this is technically and economically feasible.
  3. Develop a regional electrical grid interconnecting Southeast communities and utilities with hydroelectric generation.
  4. Work with member communities/utilities to develop adequate energy infrastructure including alternative energy sources (geo-thermal, biomass, wind, tidal, hydrogen) to meet future needs.
  5. Lower costs to rate payers and communities and increase economic development opportunities.

2009 Energy Tasks and Work Plan

  1. Facilitate funding efforts to design and permit the Kake-Petersburg Intertie ($4.3 million).
  2. Coordinate inter-agency and community efforts to design and permit Kake-Petersburg Intertie.
  3. Work with Haida Corp. and AP&T to advance the Reynolds Creek Hydro to completion.
  4. Work with federal, state funding agencies to construct Kake-Petersburg Intertie ($25 Ð 34 million).
  5. Support and assist Kwaan (KWETICO) in advancing the Juneau-Hoonah intertie to completion.
  6. Work with member communities and utilities to secure permits and funding for hydro and other alternative energy project development.
  7. Build a database inventory of regional energy projects.
  8. Develop regional energy plan that includes both short-term "band-aids" (PCE to businesses, schools) and long-term solutions (hydro, interties), and develop a regional governance model.
  9. Facilitate AEA activities, as needed, in implementing the Southeast Energy Plan.
  10. Serve as a resource of information for the membership, public, Legislature and Administration.
