Description
IT is anticipated that the project will be capable of generating about 3,470 MWH of energy annually and offset diesel fuel use at the local power plant by 95%, enabling a year-round reliable energy source. Old harbor is a remote alutiiq tribal village on kodiak island, alaska, approximately 50 air miles from the nearest social services in the city of kodiak. There are nearly 200 residents in old harbor and 83% are native alaskans who rely on a subsistence diet, collecting berries, fish, and game meat for food. According to the denali commission, 88% of residents live below the federal poverty line, with a median household income of $13,181, and experience disproportionally higher cost energy bills. As part of its community benefits plan, the alutiiq tribe and project partners will work to ensure stable sources of clean water and energy while reducing the negative health impacts of using diesel fuel. The tribe intends to sell hydropower generated through the project to local utilities for 80% of the avoided cost of a gallon of diesel fuel. The project will ensure energy security and will provide benefits to each household. The old harbor hydroelectric project seeks to demonstrate a tribal ownership business model that may be replicable in 209 similar rural villages within the region.
