ALASKA ENERGYSHED TECH STACK LAUNCH ALASKA PROPOSES TO DEPLOY A ROBUST AND UNIQUE TECHNOLOGY PLATFORM THAT COLLECTS AND ANALYSES DATA NECESSARY TO IDENTIFY VIABLE LOCAL AND REGIONAL ENERGY PROJECTS IN COLLABORATION WITH ALASKA COMMUNITIES, REGIONAL NATIVE CORPORATIONS, AND TECHNICAL ADVISORS. THE PROJECT WILL DEVELOP LONG-TERM STRATEGIES FOR DEVELOPING REGIONAL POWER PROJECTS UTILIZING LOCALLY AVAILABLE ENERGY SOURCES, GAIN BROAD CONSENSUS FOR PROJECT PRIORITIES AND DEVELOPMENT PLANS, ACCELERATE LARGE-SCALE DEVELOPMENT AND DEPLOYMENT OF RENEWABLE ENERGY, AND SUPPORT AN EQUITABLE TRANSITION TO A DECARBONIZED ELECTRICITY SYSTEM IN ALASKA'S UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES. THIS PROJECT EXPECTS TO DEMONSTRATE THE POTENTIAL FOR UTILIZING A 3D VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENT POPULATED WITH DATA FROM A VARIETY OF DIGITAL TOOLS, SUCH AS UTILITY GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEM (GIS), ADVANCED METERING INFRASTRUCTURE (AMI) SYSTEMS, OR OTHER ENTERPRISE SOFTWARE, AS A MEANS OF IMPROVING STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT AND EDUCATION, STRATEGIC IDENTIFICATION OF PLACE-BASED ENERGY PROJECT OPPORTUNITIES, AND THE AGGREGATION OF PROJECTS SUFFICIENT TO FINANCIALLY PACKAGE THEM FOR DEVELOPMENT. THESE GENERALIZED LESSONS REGARDING ENERGYSHEDS WILL ENABLE THE DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY (DOE) TO REPLICATE THE OUTCOMES OF THIS PROJECT IN OTHER GEOGRAPHIES, COMMUNITIES, AND CULTURES, AND ENSURE TRADITIONAL AND INSTITUTIONAL KNOWLEDGE IS CAPTURED, MAINTAINED, AND INCORPORATED. THE PROPOSED OBJECTIVE OF THIS APPLICATION FOR FUNDING IS TO DEPLOY USER-FRIENDLY TOOLS THAT ENABLE LONG-TERM STRATEGIES FOR DEVELOPING POWER PROJECTS UTILIZING LOCALLY AVAILABLE ENERGY SOURCES IN UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES. THE PROJECT WILL PRODUCE PUBLIC SUPPORT AND AN AGGREGATED FUNDING PACKAGE DEVELOPED FOR MORE THAN 3 LOCAL PLACE-BASED ENERGY GENERATION PROJECTS.
