RACEE: Community of Klawock Competition Project Summary

Summary

Rural Alaskan communities like Klawock struggle with energy efficiency due to lack of technical support and capital, despite identified needs in public buildings and infrastructure. The RACEE competition, a US Department of Energy initiative, provides funding and technical assistance to Klawock to implement energy efficiency upgrades, including converting streetlights to LEDs, optimizing water/sewer systems, improving school HVAC, and assessing heat pump integration. While many technical assessments and initial streetlight installations are complete, the project is ongoing with significant potential for energy and cost savings in the community.
