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.
Alaska Realities High energy costs ► Erosion from fall storms - Fragmented electric grid ► Shishmaref Harsh climate ► End of supply lines ► Stranded resources ► Distributed population ► Limited road network ► Fiscal limitations ► Environmental impact ► Icebreaker supported fuel delivery to Nome
