From Natural Gas to Hydrokinetics – Energy Options for Ӱԭ’s Communities: Presentation to House Special Committee on Energy
February 12th, 12pm to 1pm
Juneau, Ӱԭ State Capitol Building, Room 106
Presenters: ACEP Director Gwen Holdmann and Researcher Jeremy Kasper from ACEP’s Ӱԭ Hydrokinetic
Energy Research Center will be in Juneau to present a “Lunch and Learn” for Ӱԭ
legislators and staffers.
Topic: Access to affordable, reliable energy is key to community sustainability and economic
development throughout Ӱԭ. Learn about the feasibility and status of various energy
technology options and how the Ӱԭ Center for Energy and Power is working with
communities, developers, and manufacturers to demonstrate advances in energy technology
that address Ӱԭ’s high cost of power. Hydrokinetic energy – energy extracted directly
from moving water in a river or tidal basin - will be highlighted as an example of
how research is leading to solutions.
