NDC wholly owned and operated Arctic Utilities Inc. (AUI) from its acquisition and public utility certi cation in 1975 until it was sold in 2003. It provided electricity to com-mercial and industrial customers at Prudhoe Bay on Alaska’s North Slope. Its customer base included international companies such as Nabors, Halliburton, Schlumberger, and BP. The power plant had a capac-ity of 12 megawatts and electricity was distributed through four 15 KV transmission lines. AUI had one of the highest online records in the State of Alaska. The power system was primarily fueled by natural gas with a diesel fuel back up for redundancy. AUI built and engineered 14 miles of underground distribution system in permafrost. Alaska is one of harshest op-erating environments in the world, with temperatures dipping to 50 below zero in winter. Parent Company Experience
