Presentation Notes
Presentation will give you a sense of the work we did in developing this report, which serves and an update and companion to the SE IRP completed in 2012.
McDowell Group
• Multidisciplinary research and consulting firm since 1972 • 17 professional staff in Anchorage and Juneau • Current Southeast Alaska projects include:
• Marine Highway System Governance Study with SEC and Elliot Bay Design Group • City and Borough of Juneau Parks and Recreation Survey • Local Food Systems Research for Haa Aani and Sustainable Southeast Partnership • Southeast Alaska Cluster Initiative Program Assessment for US Forest Service • Culturally-relevant Education Program Evaluations for Sealaska Heritage Institute • Alaska Visitor Statistics Program surveys in progress
Overview
• Alaska Energy Authority-funded, with SE Conference • Complementary with the SE IRP
• Updated information on biomass, energy efficiency, heat pumps, and other topics
• Detailed data presented by community
• Many data sources: • Energy Information Administration, PCE reports, utilities, AEA,
Alaska Housing Needs Assessment, SE IRP, DOL&WD, DCCED . . . .

Bump in 2015 is unique to Gustavus and assumes the park connecting to the Gustavus grid. Reference case assumes business-as-usual. High assumes rapid adoption of electric vehicles and increased industrial load growth. Low case assumes aggressive implementation of the energy efficiency and biomass heating recommendations in the SE IRP.
Regional Energy Profile
• Current energy system • Electricity
• Variety of data available, utility input important
• Heating • Some data gaps but basics covered
• Transportation • Widespread data gaps
• Recent projects and progress • Biomass, heat pumps, energy efficiency

PCE program subsidizes residences for first 500 kwh and certain community buildings. Total of $3.4 million in PCE payments in SE Alaska during FY15. 3.1 percent of the 828 million kwh sold in Southeast Alaska in FY 15 was subsidized by the PCE program.

Combined monthly production from all SE hydropower plants with capacity larger than 1MW, except Tyee Lake. Increase over time (addition of Kasidaya, South Fork, and Lake Dorothy). Increased variability of production between winter and summer in 2008-2013, importance of storage projects and matching loads to water availability. Table 1 in the report shows all hydro plants in SE, with latest data on annual production, capacity, and % change in production between 01-05 and 10-14.
