Aleutian Pribilof Energy Summit ~Chris Lace, TAC 2 Continued... An effort to take charge of the energy problems that plague Aleutian communities gained steam at the 2010 Aleutian/Pribilof Islands Energy Summit in An- chorage in late April. More than 50 representatives of towns, boroughs, tribal groups and other Aleutian enti- ties met to develop a plan to reduce local dependency on fossil fuels through alternatives that are sustain- able, accessible, reliable and affordable. The goal is to ultimately reduce fossil fuel use in Aleutian commu- nities by 85 percent through a regional plan to be im- plemented no later than spring 2011. The summit was led by an ad hoc committee of re- gional stakeholders that began meeting more than a year ago, informally called the “A Team” — Larry Cot- ter and Everette Anderson with Aleutian Pribilof Island Community Development Association, Thomas Mack and Chris Lace of the Aleut Corporation, Dan Duame from Aleutian Housing Authority, Sharon Boyette with Aleutians East Borough, and Ken Selby and Bruce Wright with Aleutian Pribilof Islands Association. The meeting commences with a video message from Lisa Murkowski, US Senator, wishing the group luck. Gene Therriault, senior policy advisor to Gov. Parnell, praised those gathered for their forward thinking. “Your region appears to be very much ahead of many regions in the state. Years from now, they’ll say thank God those people were willing to step forward and make sure these decisions were made. The state wants to work with communities – what makes sense in your community, what has the support of the com- munity, and what can the state do to help you achieve your goals.” The Aleutian region’s efforts align perfectly with the Alaska Energy Authority’s goals and Governor Parnell’s vision, Therriault said. “We’ll be able to take the dynamic in this room and duplicate it in other ar- eas of the state so communities can plan for them- selves and their region.” Rep. Bryce Edgmon, co-chair of the energy commit- tee for the House of Representatives, said the Legis- lature has been much more focused on supporting Alaska’s long-term energy needs this session. The House energy committee traveled around the state in 2009. In Unalaska, they toured the new power plant, and visited seafood plants to see how they’re using fish oil to help fuel their facilities. The Aleutian region’s 10 communities burn about 20 million gallons of fuel per year. Volatile fuel prices im- pede business planning. Regular shipments needed to power the fishing industry and the towns that de- pend on them can be sporadic. Fuel transportation is costly. “Energy is more than the cost of electricity and gas,” Therriault said. “It’s intricately tied to Alaska’s various economies and those economies are tied to the social health of communities and to the state.” Several Summit attendees talked about how depend- ence on fossil fuels is impacting their communities. “The cost of fuel goes up, the cost of fish comes down, it’s hard to make a living out there. It’s a lack of predictability,” said fisherman Hugh Pelkey, a member of the APICDA and Akutan Corp. boards of directors. People who can’t make a living in their communities leave, said Jason Bourdukofsky. Without the popula- tion needed to keep schools open, towns die. “In the case of our little community out in the middle of the Bering Sea, our biggest concern is economic de- velopment,” said Pat Pletnikoff, mayor of St. George Island. “Yesterday, we were down to four barrels of diesel in our community. We’ve got a construction project out there that’s coming close to being com- plete, but there’s no diesel to run the machinery.” It’s a situation St. George has faced three times just in the past year, Pletnikoff said. A team from Norton Sound Economic Development Corp. gave a presentation on its Consolidated Bulk Fuel Program, which has successfully lowered costs of fuel in member communities. Establishing a re- gional bulk fuel cooperative, identifying participants, funding and storage was discussed. The afternoon session focused on the economics of conservation as the first step toward addressing en- ergy needs. Dan Duame, from Aleutina Housing Au- thority outlined conservation efforts already at work in communities, and available funding programs that could help expand them. Energy savings translates into capital for other uses, not only for small busi- nesses, but for boroughs and cities and your house- hold.PDF Image | The Bering Sea Project
