This project had two components: 1. Agreement 2175052 -purchase and install new time-of-
day metering equipment for lliamna-Newhalen-Nondalton Electric Cooperative (INNEC) which
can distinguish at which time during the day power is being used. This will shift some demand
to off-peak hours at lower rates and stimulate new electrical demand that was, for the most
part, previously served by fuel oil and propane. The Tazimina Hydroelectric Project will supply
the new power requirements.
2. Agreement 2175051 -install new electric boilers in the Newhalen and Nondalton schools in
series with the existing oil-fired boilers. The project will use surplus power from the Tazimina
Hydroelectric Project.
Supplemental Information:
Utility Improvement Grant (UIG) Program project. Local contribution is from lliamna-Newhalen-
