  • Goal 3. Preserve and Improve Quality of Life in the Kenai Peninsula
    Goal 3. Preserve and improve quality of life in the Kenai Peninsula Borough through increased access to local and regional facilities, activities, programs and services. FOCUS AREA: ENERGY AND UTILITIES HEADLINES Enstar Natural Gas Company has contracted with AIX Energy for gas supplies through 2021. The resurgence of independent oil and gas companies in the Cook Inlet Basin is providing new supplies of gas and long-term contracts. Bradley Lake expansion via the Battle Creek diversion will add about 37,300 megawatt hours per year from the hydroelectric facility. The Alaska Energy authority owns Bradley Lake Hydroelectric Project, but contracts with Homer Electric Association (HEA) to operate it. HEA provides electricity to the southern and central portion of the Kenai Peninsula. Ocean Renewable Power Company applied to surrender the preliminary license for a proposed East Foreland tidal energy project in Cook Inlet. FERC granted a preliminary permit in 2011 to conduct a feasibility study for constructing the East Foreland tidal energy project. Tidal energy is viable, but the strength of the conventional energy market in Alaska affects the integration of new technology, making it financially infeasible (Marine Energy 2016). The Borough does not provide utilities but assists in utility provision through its platting authority and by requiring dedication of utility easements on new subdivision plats. Private utility companies, some cities, and the U.S. Public Health Service provide utilities to residents in the borough. Borough subdivision plat review is coordinated with private utilities and cities to ensure easements are adequate to serve future utilities. WHERE HAVE WE BEEN? WHERE ARE WE NOW? WHERE ARE WE HEADED? Energy Homer Electric Association (HEA) provides electricity to the southern and central portion of the Kenai Peninsula, including: Kenai, Soldotna, Nikiski, Homer, Seldovia, Nanwalek and Port Graham.
