Show Notes
Alaskas Chugach Electric Association is accelerating its use of local energy sources, filing early permits for four hydropower projects to qualify for federal incentives. These projects could replace a significant portion of imported natural gas, following the successful implementation of hydropower in communities like Juneau, Cordova, and Kodiak. Alaska has hundreds of untapped hydropower sites and promising geothermal potential, with ninety-seven known hot springs. Diversifying the energy mix with these sources, along with storage, will enhance grid strength, resilience, and stability, while reducing costs and setting the stage for easier integration of wind and solar.
