Energy savings data from Remote Alaska Communities Energy Efficiency (RACEE) competition
The goal of the Remote Alaska Community Energy Efficiency (RACEE) Competition was to advance the implementation of affordable, resilient, and clean energy-efficient solutions for remote Alaska communities. RACEE assisted Kiana with its unique challenges, mostly the remote nature of their location paired with the harsh temperatures and isolated electrical grid resulting in high energy costs. In addition to the assistance from DOE, the Alaska Energy Authority (AEA) provided direct technical assistance to RACEE recipients throughout their projects. Before Kiana started work, AEA conducted energy audits in public buildings and facilities to identify which energy measures would be most effective for the community’s energy goals.
This success story highlights the benefits to the Native Village of Kiana of implementing energy efficiency and heat recovery projects through the DOE Remote Alaska Communities Energy Efficiency (RACEE) competition.
Final technical report for grant to the Native Village of Kiana as a part of the DOE Remote Alaska Communities Energy Efficiency (RACEE) competition. This project implemented energy efficiency and heat recovery projects in the remote village of Kiana.
