The Native Village of Cantwell is applying for funding under the Alaska
Energy Authority's Renewable Energy Fund Round VII for a reconnaissance
study that could determine the potential for a small-scale hydroelectric
generating system on Carlo Creek near Cantwell.
Golden Valley Electric Association feels such a reconnaissance study could
explore the creek's potential and is supporting the Native Village of Cantwell,
which is a member of our electric coop, in its efforts to secure funding.
GVEA supports renewable energy projects within its service area. In 2005,
GVEA's Board adopted a Renewable Energy Pledge calling for 20 percent of
GVEA's system peak load to come from renewable energy by the end of
2013. As such, GVEA believes this application by the Native Village of
Cantwell earns and deserves this coop's full support.
Sincerely,
Golden Valley Electric Assn.
