on developing innovative foundation designs to adequately support the towers in the changing conditions of the permafrost. Additionally, AVEC has invested heavily in updating and improving diesel generator facilities in order to integrate them more effectively with the new wind generation facilities. As important as infrastructure development, AVEC’s wind program also includes the development of a week-long training program conducted by Northern Power in Barre, Vermont. Training village residents in wind power maintenance has not only saved money for AVEC in transportation costs in and out of villages, but reduces down time of turbines that are in need of maintenance and provides a source of local income for village members. In Hooper Bay, AVEC’s largest community, wind development was motivated by electricity prices that reached over $0.65 per kWh, about five times the price in urban areas of Alaska and the lower 48. Starting in 2001, AVEC, with funding from the U.S. Department of Agriculture High Energy Cost Grant Program and the Denali Commission, planned and implemented the installation of a medium penetration, wind-diesel hybrid system. The central feature of the project was three 100-kW capacity wind turbines that together displace 44,500 gallons of diesel annually. Quinhagak, also in the Alaska Village Electric Cooperative (AVEC) service area, installed 300 kW of capacity. With help from AVEC engineers, community leaders in Quinhagak planned and executed the $4.3 million project, which started producing power in January of 2011. In 2011, the wind turbines produced 21.1 percent of the community’s total electric needs, saving 28,877 gallons of diesel that (at $4.47 per gallon) resulted in a total fuel savings of $128,936 for the year. Energy costs for village residents dropped almost immediately, making Quinhagak the fifth least expensive village for energy out of the 54 villages in AVEC’s service area, compared to its previous ranking of 18th. AVEC villages with Installed wind capacity  Chevak – 400 kW  Emmonak – 400 kW  Gambell – 300 kW  Hooper Bay – 300 kW  Kasigluk – 300 kW  Mekoryuk – 200 kW  Quinhagak – 300 kW  Savoonga – 200 kW  Selawik – 264 kW  Shaktoolik – 200 kW  Toksook Bay – 400 kW  Wales – 130 kW Sustainable Energy Opportunities: Best Practices for Alaska Tribes Page 26
