The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide funding to Unalakleet Native Corporation (UNC) to upgrade and increase the voltage of a portion of Unalakleet’s microgrid, in Unalakleet, AK. Specifically, the voltage of a 1.45 mile transmission line connecting a 100kW wind farm to the town’s power plant would be increased from 4.16 kV to 12.47 kV. Upgrades would also include improvements to the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) and associated data management systems in the plant.
