Description
In addition to restoring the DAM, the project team has secured over $6 million to rehabilitate the community's water supply and anticipates creating construction jobs with a tribal preference. The new hydroelectric facility will replace 100% of the community's diesel consumption and provide power for homes, businesses, and economic activities like tourism and fish processing. The project will also provide a new revenue stream for its owners, the chignik BAY tribal council, and could then sell excess power to utilities, reducing residents' total electricity rates. The project will focus on the following objectives: 1. Hydro generation. In chignik BAY, alaska, replace an existing DAM and build a 0.385 MW hydroelectric facility, including a new DAM, intake structure, 1.4 miles of 24"-diameter penstock, 0.7 miles of access road, a turbine, a generator, substation upgrades and 0.3 miles of overhead transmission. 2. Community benefits. For the village of chignik BAY, eliminate use of diesel for electricity production, add a stable source of revenue and local jobs for project maintenance.
