2. Alaska Energy Authority (previously the Alaska Power Authority) was established by the
Alaska Legislature in 1976 to help provide affordable electric power for residents of the
state. The agency constructs, finances, and operates power projects, administers loan
programs, and provides technical assistance to Alaskan communities and utilities.
3. Alaska Energy Authority supplies wholesale power to utilities. Four hydroelectric
facilities owned by the Energy Authority provide power for five utilities and are
collectively referred to as the Four Dam Pool:
Swan Lake Hydro, 22.5 MW Ketchikan Public Utilities
Tyee Lake Hydro, 20 MW Petersburg Municipal Power and Light/
Wrangell Municipal Light and Power
Terror Lake Hydro, 20 MW Kodiak Electric Association, Inc.
Solomon Gulch Hydro, 12 MW Copper Valley Electric Association, Inc.
Alaska Energy Authority also owns the Bradley Lake Hydroelectric project (nominal
rating of 90 MW). This project supplies energy to Chugach Electric Association, Inc.,
Anchorage Municipal Light and Power, Golden Valley Electric Association, Inc., City of
Seward, and Alaska Electric Generation and Transmission Cooperative, Inc. Bradley
Lake Hydroelectric project came on line September 1, 1991. Annual production is
estimated at 366 million kilowatt-hours. In July 1991, residents of Larsen Bay on Kodiak Island began receiving the benefits of a smaller 475 kilowatt hydroelectric project owned
by the Alaska Energy Authority.
4. AEA operates and maintains 442.4 miles of transmission lines. The 170 mile
Anchorage-Fairbanks Intertie transferred a record 275,801 megawatt-hours during
FY 1991 (7/1/90 to 6/30/91).
