Bristol Bay Region Rural & Alternative Energy Study Energy for Rural Alaskans – Framing the Issues Summer 2011 Bristol Bay Native Association
7,214 Population 31 Tribes 27 Communities 16 - Lake & Pen Borough 3 - Bristol Bay Borough 12 - Other The Mission of BBNA is to maintain and promote a strong regional organization supported by the Tribes of Bristol Bay to serve as a unified voice to provide social, economic, cultural, educational opportunities and initiatives to benefit the Tribes and the Native people of the Bristol Bay.
Outline Today • Bristol Bay Alternative Energy Task Force • Bristol Bay Partnership • Bristol Bay Economic Action Summit • Bristol Bay Energy Policy & Implementation Strategy • Bristol Bay Native Association’s Programs • Bristol Bay Regional Vision Project • Energy in Bristol Bay
Bristol Bay Alternative Energy Task Force • Lead by Bristol Bay Native Association • Met from 1996-2005 (2x a year) • 15 Members Strong • Discussed Various Alternative Energy Sources • Conclusion: At that time, alternative energy sources not cost-effective relative to the price of fuel.
Bristol Bay Partnership
Bristol Bay Economic Action Summit - 2006 • Energy, Transportation, • Energy Assistance • Bulk Fuel Storage/Fuel Tourism & Jobs • ENERGY GROUP Cooperatives • Diesel Independence • Regional Energy Plan • Reduce kWh Rates • PCE Endowment Fund
Bristol Bay Energy Policy The intent of the Bristol Bay Energy Policy is to reach the goal of affordable, reliable, safe and long-term energy and to realize energy self-sufficiency and security that supports and sustains the well-being of the Bristol Bay people and communities and that promotes economic development opportunities.
Implementation Strategy 1. Energy Assistance Programs • Electric & Heat Subsidy Programs • PCE Endowment Fund • Energy Development Fund 2. Transition Towards Diesel Independence • Recognition Diesel Around for Some Time • Fuel Monitoring Program • Proper Training
Implementation Strategy 3. Energy Efficiency & Conservation • Support & Encourage Incentives • Education & Outreach 4. On-Shore Exploration • Support & Encourage Private, State & Federal Lands Exploration of Traditional Energy Sources
Implementation Strategy 5. Electric Interties • Sub-Regional & Regional Interties • Railbelt Tie-Ins • Statewide Energy Grid 6. Exploration of Alternative Energy Sources 7. Plan Collectively • Encourage Partnerships • Regional Energy Authority
