Energy - Northwest Arctic Borough The Shungnak-Kobuk Community Solar Independent Power Producer (IPP) project, a solar-battery microgrid project located in Shungnak and Kobuk, Alaska, that is designed to produce solar electricity at a lower cost than diesel-generated electricity
Alaskan rural electric cooperative completes 576-kW solar project Rural electric cooperative Kotzebue Electric Association (KEA) recently worked with Alaska Native Renewable Industries to install a solar project to help offset diesel fuel for the community of Kotzebue, Alaska ANRI proposed the 576-kW ground-mount solar system powered by SolarEdge technology
Energy Storage – Kotzebue Electric Association This additional capacity will allow the battery system to power all of Kotzebue for approximately 60 minutes The “grid-forming” ability of the battery allows KEA to shut off the diesel generators when sufficient renewable power is available Energy Storage: $6 million, seeking funding ($100k Design funding secured from NWAB VIF)
The Power Problem - Alaska Business Magazine Shroyer says solar panels occasionally produce more power than customers use and in those cases KEA employs “beneficial electrification ” The utility, in effect, burns off the excess power by sending it to a heating device in a home or business, slightly reducing a customer’s heating bill

Case study: SolarEdge powers largest PV system in rural Alaska Customer Benefits: The solar microgrid project will produce over 700,000 kWh of electricity each year, and Kotzebue will now get roughly 25-30% of its power from renewable (solar and wind) This is the second largest solar installation in the state, and the largest in rural Alaska
Case Study Background Building a Brighter Economy The solar microgrid project will produce over 700,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity each year, and Kotzebue will now get roughly 25-30% of its power from renewable (solar and wind) This is the second largest solar installation in the state, and the largest in rural Alaska Projects like these help to bring down the price of solar in Alaska and enable more economic
