The geothermally heated pool and facilities is located at Chena Hot Springs, about 60 miles northeast of Fairbanks. and swimming in the mineral springs. The water from the springs is also used for space heating and for cultivating plants in a greenhouse. • Baranof Island. This island on the southeastern coast of Alaska has several hot springs—including Baranof Warm Springs, Goddard Hot Springs, and White Sulphur Hot Springs—all of which are used for bathing and relaxation. Proposed Development Although Alaska generates no geothermal electricity, several areas are being considered for development, including: • Unalaska – This island is one of two places that the state of Alaska has drilled and tested specifically to determine the geothermal potential for electricity generation (the other is Pilgrim Hot Springs, see below). In the heart of the Aleutian chain, this island is home to the city of Unalaska—Alaska’s 11th largest city—whose population of 4,400 swells to more than 10,000 during fishing season. The city is home to several fish processing plants and to the port of Dutch Harbor, which is located on the nearby island of Amaknak and is connected by bridge to the city. The geothermal resource, with a temperature of approximately 202°C (395°F) at 2,000 feet below the surface, is on the volcano, Mount Makushin. The proposed project to exploit the geothermal resource will be privately financed and privately owned and operated. The first phase of the project will consist of an 18-MW geothermal electric generation facility, with electricity from the plant being transmitted 12 miles to the city of Unalaska and Dutch Harbor. • Akutan – Next door to Unalaska is the smaller island of Akutan—home to both the Akutan volcano and to the village of Akutan, which has a large fish processing plant that employs 600 – 1,200 people during peak season. The proposal is to develop the island’s ample geothermal resource by building a 10-MW power plant to provide electricity to the processing plant and the village. • Chena Hot Springs – A feasibility study is now being performed for a 475-kW facility to supply electricity to this resort area. If all goes well, construction will begin in late 2005. • Pilgrim Hot Springs – Located 60 miles north of Nome and 80 miles south of the Arctic Circle, this historically significant site is a unique and lush oasis in the Alaskan tundra. In a region where permafrost is concrete-like and 300 feet thick, Pilgrim Hot Springs has about 2 square miles of thawed ground ideal for trees, shrubs, and truck gardens. This area is currently being explored not just for the production of approximately 5 MW of electric power from the local hot springs but also for geothermal heat. If the project is determined feasible, the hot springs could provide enough electricity and heat to make a reconstituted “Mary’s Igloo Village” (with a projected population of 250 people) self sustaining. • Adak – The geothermal potential of the island of Adak was demonstrated by three wells drilled in 1977 by the U.S. Navy. Adak is a volcanic island that lies on the Great Circle navigation route halfway between Seattle and Japan. This, along with fact that the island is in the middle of one of the world’s richest fishing regions and that it has an established infrastructure—with an airport, deep- water port, major fuel-storage capabilities, utilities, and more—as a result of decades of being a U.S. Naval base, make Adak a prospective area for investment and growth. One of the investments being considered is the possibility of developing the island’s geothermal resource. Economic Benefits According to the Geo-Heat Center at the Oregon Institute of Technology, Alaska’s 14 hot springs provide more than 85 billion Btu’s of geothermal energy for use in spas, space heating, and greenhouses.
