Alaskas Rural Power Systems Upgrade Program Project Locations
This data contains locations of the projects maintained by the Rural Power Systems Upgrade Program. Over 350 locations are included in the dataset, including those projects in remote villages and communities throughout the state of Alaska. The location data provides a means by which to access real-time system information for a given powerhouse, if available. In rural communities through Alaska, electricity is generated by a small local "system" (generation and distribution) using diesel fuel at a cost that is 3 to 5 times higher than in urban parts of the state. Of 200 rural communities, approximately half are served by cooperatives or another form of utility that performs under a well established organization. Others are served by very small entities, many of which experience technical and administrative problems due to lack of economies of scale and/or lack of specialized skills in the community.
