RACEE: Port Lions Community Energy Efficiency Project

Summary

The City of Port Lions, Alaska, is undertaking the "RACEE: Port Lions Community Energy Efficiency Project" with a total cost of $207,117 to address high energy costs and inefficient buildings in their remote community of about 175 residents. The project aims to achieve a 30% energy savings in 10 public buildings and contribute to a broader community goal of reducing per capita energy usage by at least 15% by 2020. Anticipated cost savings are approximately $26,000. As of July 2021, significant progress was made on electrical retrofits and engineering, but insulation and HVAC installations were delayed due to material delivery issues and COVID-19 related travel restrictions. The community currently pays $0.1498 per kWh for electricity from a grid that is at least 95% renewable.
