Desired Turbine DCSD is evolving a MOA with Choggiung, Ltd. for use of
their wind turbine for the wind data rather than purchase a
small wind turbine. Choggiung's wind turbine will be
[ located at their building which is immediately adjacent to
the schools. This building serves as the region's State Court
House. This Proven wind turbine of Choggiung will be for
the production of both electricity and hot water.

We are writing to support your efforts to participate in the Wind for Schools program pursued by the
Alaska Center for Energy and Power (ACEP). This program promotes education and motivation in the area
of wind energy - a very prospective renewable energy source in the Alaskan southwest region. In order to
implement and maintain wind energy in our communities, it is critical that local workforce in this field is
developed. Incorporating wind energy concepts into Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics
(STEM) high-school curriculum is an important part of developing this local workforce.
In the Wind for Schools program in this region, three wind turbines will be installed in the proximity of
high schools — one turbine in each of these locations: Dillingham, Togiak, and New Stuyahok. Even though
the turbines will provide heat and/or electricity for the schools, the main purpose will be that they will serve
as an educational tool. Besides learning about wind energy concepts, students will also collect and analyze
data from these specific turbines.
University of Alaska Fairbanks Bristol Bay Campus and its Sustainable Energy Initiative, in cooperation
with the Alaska Center for Energy and Power, is offering their support in several areas:
• We will provide our expertise during designing and installing the wind systems at the high
schools.
• We will help high school teachers incorporate wind energy into their STEM classes.
• We will cooperate on dual credit courses and help high school students prepare for further
sustainable energy curriculum at a college level.
• We will encourage our college students to participate in installing the wind system, and collecting
and analyzing data, which will provide further educational material to high-school students and
support bridging between the high-school and college levels.
We are proud to support the Wind for Schools program.
Sincerely,
Drom Mazsik, Assistant Professor of Sustainable Energy
Dr. Deborah McLean, Director
