Chena Geothermal Power Plant Project Final Report Prepared for the Alaska Energy Authority January, 2007 1. BACKGROUND – CHENA HOT SPRINGS Chena Hot Springs is located approximately 60 miles east-northeast of Fairbanks, Alaska at an elevation of 1205 feet. It has been used extensively for recreational bathing since its discovery in 1905 by miners from Fairbanks who noticed steam rising over the hills in the upper reaches of the Chena River. It was privatized as a patented homestead in 1920, and cabins and a small lodge quickly sprung up to serve the local population. Today, Chena Hot Springs Resort has grown to become the premier hot springs recreational and resort facility in Alaska, and serves a small community of private residents in addition to the employees and guests of the resort.

It is served by a paved road from Fairbanks, but is 33 miles distant from the closest power grid. For this reason, Chena is confronted with many of the same infrastructure challenges facing numerous remote Alaskan villages, including maintenance of power generation facilities, phone and internet systems, sewage and municipal waste disposal, road maintenance, and emergency medical and fire equipment. The cost of electric power in rural Alaska is among the highest in the United States, and frequently approaches $1 per kW. The cost of power is currently 86¢ per kW at Manley Hot Springs2, and 56¢ per kW at Central (near Circle Hot Springs). At Chena, power has been generated in the past using diesel gensets – as in most Alaskan villages – at a cost of 30¢ per kW. In 2005, $365,000 was spent on fuel alone, at an average price of $2.46 per 2 Manley Hot Springs is a community of approximately 75 year-round residents located 90 miles northwest of Fairbanks on the Elliot Highway. 4
