Alaska: Pioneers in ‘island’ energy systems

• Geographic isolation of population centers and significant trans-regional

electrical intertie challenges.

• Wide-spread dependence on combustion-powered generators.
• High fuel costs establish strong incentive for operational efficiency &

leverage of renewable energy resources.

Energy Partnerships

Problem Statement:

• Infrastructure assets must be fully leveraged between State, Local and DoD

government in Alaska’s interior to ensure maximum value for taxpayers. All cost saving partnerships must be examined including potential savings to DoD if power is freely wheeled between EAFB, FWA and FGA Goal:

• The goal of the Partnerships subgroup is to identify cost saving partnership
• pportunities between state, local and DoD government in the interior of
• Alaska. Authorizations named in section 331 of the 2013 National Defense

Authorization Act should be closely examined.

• Additionally, this subgroup should provide a recommendation on how

Eielson AFB, Fort Wainwright and Fort Greely can be intertied and freely wheel power between each other by 1 Jan 14. The group should focus on tariff costs incurred from using existing intertie connections and the expense

• f purchasing power regulating devices and any other equipment required

for the uninhibited wheeling of power between bases.
