Kasigluk Alaska Native Village Wind Turbines
Kasigluk Alaska Native Village Wind Turbines
NativeEnergy's customers have helped fund a two-year operations and maintenance (O&M) reserve for three Northwind 100 kW turbines built in the village of Kasigluk, Alaska, which began operations in July, 2006. Owned and operated by the non-profit Alaska Village Electric Cooperative, these three turbines are expected to produce about 595,595 kilowatt-hours per year. Every kilowatt-hour they produce means one fewer kilowatt-hours is generated by the diesel generators that otherwise provide power for this village. To be competitive with the diesel generators, the turbines need to be able to produce power for 15 cents per kWh or less. As the turbines need to operate in extremely harsh conditions, and are only accessible by air, weather permitting, our funding of the operations and maintenance reserve is helping avoid the significant periods of "down time" that the Coop's prior projects had experienced due to inadequate O&M funding. As "first of their kind" projects in this region, the projects will set precedents for -- or against -- broader implementation. Our goal was to provide sufficient O&M funding to ensure that these projects demonstrate that wind power is economic in Alaska Native villages, and so worth replicating. Any of our funding that is not needed to cover O&M expenses will be used for additional wind development.
