Project
Dear Review Panel:
The Alaska Village Electric Cooperative (AVEC) respectfully submits the enclosed
application for grant funds available through the Renewable Energy Fund Grant Program.
AVEC proposes to continue the wind resource assessment and evaluation of prospective
wind power sites in the vicinity of Saint Mary's, including evaluation of mitigation
measures to counter apparent rime icing conditions and possible installation of a third
met tower, with the goal to supplement AVEC's diesel powered generation in Saint
Mary's.
This project has the potential to benefit the communities of St. Mary's and Pitka's Point,
and Mountain Village and Pilot Station once these communities are intertied.
The total project cost for the project is $110,000 of which $104,500 is requested in grant
funds. The remaining $5,500 will be matched in kind by AVEC.
Please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Petrie of my staff if you have questions.
Sincerely,
Meera Kohler
President and CEO
