If we do not take advantage of this grant, the full costs of modernizing our grid will ultimately fall entirely on our customers.
By Arthur Miller, Tony Izzo, John Burns and Brad JanorschkePower lines are highlighted by the setting sun along Turnagain Arm and the Seward Highway south of Anchorage, Alaska on Sunday, March 26, 2017.
The Railbelt regions are currently connected through a single transmission line, which is limited in how much power it can carry between regions. The initial step to decongesting power movement, Phase I upgrades, will construct an additional line from the Kenai Peninsula to Southcentral. Phase II upgrades will construct an additional line from Southcentral to Healy.
The first step is a commitment to fund the initial work ahead of the main constructure stage, which would signal to DOE our long-term commitment to the full project.
