The entities, selected competitively based on criteria such as geographic diversity and the availability of activities to carry out while charging is in progress, consist of Alyeska Resort; Creekbend Co., Hope; Dimond Center; JL Properties, South Restaurant retail center; and the Municipality of Anchorage parking lot, east of Rustic Goat Restaurant, Chugach Electric says. Each selected member will choose, install, own and maintain a charging station for the duration of the three-year research project. Chugach Electric will contribute up to $7,500 towards the installed cost of each facility. The objective of the project is to better understand the driving habits and charging needs of electric vehicle owners, and to gain insights into the extent to which the use of chargers may be made in commercial areas. While the charger at Alyeska Resort has already been in operation since September 2019, the other facilities will be installed by the end of June, after the ground thaws, Chugach Electric says. Growing use The use of electric vehicles in the Anchorage region has been growing, albeit from a very low start. Although expensive to buy, the vehicles are relatively cheap to operate, with much simpler maintenance requirements, higher energy efficiency and lower fuel costs than traditional gasoline or diesel vehicles. However, the vehicle mileage range between charges impacts their popularity - hence presumably the interest in evaluating and promoting the use of commercial charging stations. The Alaska Energy Authority is planning to help fund an electric vehicle charging network in Alaska, using funds allocated from a U.S. settlement relating to cheating by Volkswagen over the testing of emissions from diesel vehicles. Chugach Electric says that the most recent count indicates that just over 150 all-electric (as distinct from hybrid) vehicles are registered in the Municipality of Anchorage. That represents an increase of 50 vehicles since last August. The vehicles come from 12 different manufacturers, but with 110 of the vehicles being made by Tesla, Chugach Electric says.

The funds will remove older diesel buses from the road and cover the costs of newer, more efficient, and cleaner burning buses. “By replacing older engines with new technologies, the school buses will help improve air quality in these areas of the state,” said AEA Executive Director, Curtis W. Thayer, in AEA’s press release. "The new buses will result in a reduction of 24.6 short tons of NOx and 1.8 short tons of fine particulate matter over the remaining lifetimes of the replaced school buses.” The focus on school buses will also protect the health of schoolchildren around the state. These funds were made available under the Volkswagen Settlement, where the automaker was fined nearly $15 billion due to cheating on vehicle emission standards tests. Of those funds, $3 billion was allocated to state governments, Source: Wikimedia Commons based on the number of affected vehicles in each state. In 2017, Alaska was allocated $8.13 million to administer programs which reduce NOx emissions. AEA announced the VW Settlement School Bus Replacement Program, asking school districts to apply for new buses. Applications were then ranked on expected reductions in air pollution, and ambient air quality where the buses are operated, as well as the presence of at-risk communities which would be exposed to this pollution.

The 563KW solar array consists of 1760 300-watt panels and covers about 2 1/2 acres. The micro-inverter system has an estimated peak production of 6 megawatt hours of electricity per day. (THIS FROM PRESS RELEASE) Golden Valley Electric Association and local officials held a ribbon cutting ceremony today to acknowledge the commissioning of its 563-kilowatt solar farm. GVEA’s solar installation is the largest photovoltaic (PV) system in the State of Alaska. The project should produce enough energy to power 71 homes (using an average of 660 kWh per month). “GVEA is expanding its renewable energy portfolio with the addition of this solar PV system,” said Cory Borgeson, GVEA’s President & CEO. GVEA’s Board of Directors approved this project last fall. A local Fairbanks business, ABS Alaskan Inc. supplied the 1,760 panels, each of which has a peak generating potential of 320 watts. “This solar farm will give Golden Valley a better understanding of the performance of a solar farm on our system and the resulting cost per kilowatt-hour,” Borgeson said. The solar array is constructed on a 3-acre parcel between Van Horn Road and Bidwell Ave. The site is located next to GVEA’s Wilson Substation and the Battery Energy Storage System (BESS). There’s room for future expansion, and the panels will be visible looking north from Van Horn Road. The project will cost just over a million dollars to complete. A grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Rural Energy for America Program offset $225,000 of the cost. Golden Valley has a dedicated web page for the project at http://www.gvea.com/energy/solar-farm. The page includes a 2-minute project overview video from project manager Nathan Minnema. Eric Engman Electricity rates starting March 1 went down a smidge yet far from enough to offset a 20% rate increase that took effect late last year. The cost of electricity will remain this way at least through May 31, John Burns, interim CEO of the Golden Valley Electric Association, said during a presentation Tuesday. Burns also spoke about the utility’s power generation facilities. They are aging, and it’s time for the board of directors to talk about building something new, he said. He additionally touched on the Railbelt Reliability Council, a new governing agency being launched to look after the grid. The GVEA executive’s virtual slide show was livestreamed from the Carlson Center. The Greater Fairbanks Chamber of Commerce hosted the online event in lieu of its weekly membership luncheon due to the coronavirus pandemic. Later, GVEA announced that its face-to-face customer service is closed until further notice “as a result of the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak and as a precautionary measure for the safety of our employees, members and the communities we serve …” Offices offering counter service close at 5 p.m. today indefinitely. Members are encouraged to pay their bills online or use payment kiosks. “GVEA is closely monitoring the rapidly evolving issues and recommendations related to COVID-19. GVEA is following the guidelines of the Centers for Disease Control, along with local and state directives, to help prevent the spread of the virus in Alaska,” a news release stated. Member service representatives will still be available during normal business hours by calling 452- 1151. Members experiencing financial hardships due to the pandemic are encouraged to contact member services, the news release stated. The announcement came more than three hours after Burns spoke at the Carlson Center. Electricity rates aren’t dropping in the near future due to several factors, he said, including lower- than-expected output at a coal-fired plant in Healy and planned maintenance at power plants in Fairbanks and North Pole. Another factor is “limited purchase power available from Southcentral utilities due to gas supply constraint issues.” Burns noted the state of GVEA infrastructure.

  • Diapering the Devil: How Alaska Helped Staunch Befouling by Mismanaged Oil Wealth: a Lesson for Other Oil Rich Nations JAY HAMMOND

It brings trouble. Look at this locura—waste, corruption, consumption, our public services falling apart. And debt, debt we shall have for years.” So warned Juan Pablo Pérez Alfonso, a Venezuelan founder of OPEC. A September 24, 2004, article in the British magazine The Economist elaborates further on Pérez Alfonso: During the heady oil boom of the mid-1970s . he was seen as an alarmist. In fact, he was astonishingly prescient. Oil producers vastly expanded domestic spending, mostly on gold- plated infrastructure projects that set inflation roaring and left mountains of debt. Worse, this did little for the poor. Venezuela had earned over $600 billion in oil revenues since the mid- 1970s but the real income per person of Pérez Alfonso’s compatriots fell by 15% in the decade after he expressed his disgust. The picture is similar in many OPEC countries. So bloated were their budgets that when oil prices fell to around Editor’s note: This chapter has kept as much as possible Hammond’s original text even though it was an unfinished manuscript. 5 02-933286-70-9 CH 2:0559-8 10/4/12 11:37 AM Page 6 6 Jay Hammond Acknowledgments from Larry Smith, coordinator The Hammond Family: Bella Gardiner Hammond, Jay’s wife, who keeps the home fires burning and who asked her granddaughter, Lauren Stanford, to send me the author's last draft.

These women have kept track of important Alaska history over many years. AAUW is deeply rooted in territorial and State history. Please note. This history does not include State and Branch information after 2005. ii FAIRBANKS BRANCH BRIEF HISTORY REPORT The Fairbanks Branch of AAUW was organized in November 1936, and recognized by the national Association in March the following year. March 1937. Some of the charter members were Mary Adler, Vide Bartlett, Lydia Fohn-Hansen, and Kay Patty, wife of the University president. The first meetings were dinner meetings held in downtown restaurants such as the Model Cafe and Pioneer Grill. The group met regularly for bridge to earn money for both local and national fellowships. Another money raiser was concerts held at the Empress Theatre, followed by teas. In 1948, AAUW joined with the Soroptomist Club and Beta Sigma Phi to start a concert series in Fairbanks, bringing musical artists to the area. This became the FCCA, or Fairbanks Community Concert Association.

  • Eye on the Caribou
    3 Oil politics Man standing next to the trans-Alaska pipeline. 44 EYE ON THE CARIBOU There’s an old political cliché that most folks associate with the Watergate scandal: “Follow the money.” In Alaska, the statement should be amended to, “Follow the oil.” When the oil began to flow through the recently completed trans-Alaska pipeline on June 20, 1977, that’s exactly what Alaskans did. Oil was the new crowned king and has pretty much remained the dominant element in Alaska’s political and business life ever since. Over the last 50 years oil has driven Alaskan politics more than any other industry in the state’s history. Through taxes and fees levied by the state, it has contributed billions to the Alaskan economy and billions to the Alaska State Treasury. There also is the Permanent Fund (more on this later), a product of, and a tribute to, the genius of Governor Jay Hammond, who spearheaded an effort that placed on the Alaska ballot a requirement for a certain amount of the oil revenue to be sequestered away into a savings fund. From the interest off that fund there would be an annual distribution to legal residents of Alaska based on the number of years they had lived there. The principal was to remain forever sacrosanct. It was overwhelmingly endorsed by the people of Alaska and over the years has placed billions into the pockets of Alaskans. One has to wonder just where the state would be today if the liquid gold had not been discovered. When ARCO hit the jackpot by drilling a producing well, it set off the kind of frenzy that hadn’t been seen in Alaska since the early gold rush days.
