The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide federal funding to Northway Village to implement energy efficiency measures and expand their solar power infrastructure.
Activities associated with the proposed project would include procurement, installation, interconnection, and operations and maintenance (O & M) of 18kW of solar arrays as well as installation of energy efficiency measures to include programmable thermostats, occupancy sensors, vending machine misers, variable speed pumps, and heating improvements at the Community Hall/Tribal Office, Washateria/Water Treatment Plant, and Water/Sewer Haul Garage in Northway, AK. All equipment would be installed on existing structures and no ground disturbance nor any change in the use, mission or operation of those facilities is anticipated as a result of this effort. The only permit required for this work is an electrical permit required to perform final interconnections per state standards.
