Tlingit and Haida SE Energy Summit 1
A VISION – for the energy future and economic success of
Southeast Alaska
5/13/2011
Mission Statement: Lower the Cost of Energy in Alaska Assist in the development of safe, reliable
and efficient energy systems throughout Alaska, which are financially viable and environmentally sound.
Operation and maintenance of existing Authority-owned projects with maximum utility control
Funder for Alternative Energy Projects State-wide Energy Plan
Alaska Energy Authority (AEA)
5/13/2011 Tlingit and Haida SE Energy Summit 2
Projects SE Alaska Intertie Projects Bradley Lake Hydroelectric
Projects Alaska Intertie Small Rural Interties Southeast Integrated
Resource Plan Railbelt Integrated
Resource Plan Region-wide planning for
rural Alaska
AEA has two distinct functions:Programs Power Cost Equalization Bulk Fuel Upgrades Rural Power System Upgrades Training Renewable Energy Grants Power Project Loans Circuit Rider & Emergency
Response
Two of our energy partners:
DENALI COMMISSION
Sealaska Corp – SE IRP project partner

A new and different world for SE AlaskaMarket forces intrude into community
economiesCauses primary fossil fuel prices to increaseAffects consumer heating and electricity costs –
businesses shut downHydro power communities – advantagedDiesel power communities – disadvantaged,
community economies in danger of collapse
The Unexpected Energy Situation
5/13/2011 Tlingit and Haida SE Energy Summit 4
Use Alaska’s vast energy resources toLower costs of heating,
transportation and powerCommunity by CommunityUtility by Utility
The Vision – Alaska’s Energy Future
5/13/2011 Tlingit and Haida SE Energy Summit 5
Coordinate energy supplies regionally TransportationHeatingElectricity
Value Energy Commodities - policy ElectricityFossil fuels
The Challenge – how to evolve to respond to the energy future
5/13/2011 Tlingit and Haida SE Energy Summit 6
Alaska Energy Authority Has Alternate Energy Programs Funding for new hydro-electric projects Reliable Agency Partner to pursue energy infrastructure
projects Experienced in evolving electrical networks
AEA’s challenge to Alaska’s Utilities
5/13/2011 Tlingit and Haida SE Energy Summit 7
Things AEA can do Facilitate regional
integrated resource planning - SEIRP
Assist Rural utilities to secure inexpensive fuels and efficient business structures
Assist SE Alaska to develop hydro/alternative energy/interties
AEA’s challenge to Alaska’s Utilities
The SEIRP Advisory Work Group in session in Sitka, Alaska
5/13/2011 Tlingit and Haida SE Energy Summit 8
Get it right – how to evaluate and decide
Consider the range of energy futures Economic Feasibility Future Risk Assessment Long term energy
security Consider potential
scenarios for fuel supply availability and cost – risk analysis
Do for all communities in SE Alaska
Getting SE Alaska Energy Projects Moving
5/13/2011 Tlingit and Haida SE Energy Summit 9
A common situation for rural SE communities -
Alternative Energy vs conventional fossil fuel vs both
Choose either hydro project or new diesel power plant?
Do both for redundant power supplies?
Energy challenges for SE Alaska
5/13/2011 Tlingit and Haida SE Energy Summit 10
The Alaska Intertie near Willow Alaska – designed at 345 kv, operated at 138 kv
Energy challenges in SE AlaskaAccomplish regional integrated resource planning (SEIRP)Identify large projects which can be jointly pursued under the SEIRP Jointly develop regional policy on priority use of electrical energy for space heating

Energy challenges in Alaska
The task before us – energy projects and coordinated action – public and private
