| Department of Energy | THIS PROJECT SEEKS TO CONSTRUCT A 160 KW SOLAR PV ARRAY AND 210 KWH BATTERY ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEM FOR A MICROGRID FOR THE NATIVE VILLAGE OF OUZINKIE ON SPRUCE ISLAND, ALASKA. THE PROPOSED SOLAR AND BATTERY SYSTEM IS THE MOST COST-EFFECTIVE AND LOW-MAINTENANCE RENEWABLE ENERGY OPTION FOR THIS COMMUNITY. THIS MAKES IT THE BEST FIT TO MEET THE GEOGRAPHIC, ECONOMIC, AND CULTURAL NEEDS OF OUZINKIE’S ROUGHLY 128 RESIDENTS, WHO ENGAGE IN SUBSISTENCE LIFESTYLES THAT INCLUDE SEASONAL FISHING, HUNTING, AND BERRY PICKING, AS THERE IS NO GROCERY STORE ON SPRUCE ISLAND. FOR THESE RESOURCES TO LAST DURING SEASONAL LOWS, MODERN REFRIGERATION AND STABLE ELECTRICITY ARE VITAL. THE BATTERY ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEM PLANS TO PROVIDE RELIABLE, RESILIENT, BACK-UP POWER DURING SEVERE WEATHER AND MAINTENANCE OUTAGES, REDUCING DIESEL USE, IN ADDITION TO AIR AND NOISE POLLUTION. USING LESS DIESEL FUEL WILL DECREASE THE POTENTIAL INCIDENCE OF SPILLS AND CONTAMINATION OF THE ENVIRONMENT BY PETROLEUM PRODUCTS, WHICH HARM MARINE ECOSYSTEMS ON WHICH OUZINKIE RESIDENTS DEPEND FOR FOOD. THE PROJECT ALSO EXPECTS TO REDUCE ELECTRICITY COSTS BY AN ESTIMATED 10% AND TO GENERATE REVENUE THAT COULD SUBSIDIZE WATER AND SEWER BILLS. ADDITIONALLY, THE NATIVE VILLAGE OF OUZINKIE WILL PARTNER WITH THE ALASKA NATIVE TRIBAL HEALTH CONSORTIUM, THE STATE’S LARGEST NONPROFIT, TO PROVIDE PROJECT SUPPORT INCLUDING ONSITE TRAINING ON OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE. | $2,285,774 |
