Mayo Power project upgrade - transmission to link two Yukon Electric Transmission Systems
Why put this in AED? The interconnection of Whitehorse to Dawson, Yukon means that roughly 250 plus miles separates an interconnection between Dawson and Delta Junction, Alaska. On the southern end of Yukon's power grid, a link from Carcross Jct to Skagway's Goat Lake project is roughly 50 miles. So, an interconnection of Southeast Alaska through Yukon to the Railbelt isn't that far fetched. Nothing is understood to be planned by either Yukon Energy nor the Alaska Energy Authority, however an interconnection between the Alaska Railbelt and Southeast isn't insurmountable, nor farfetched either.

The first of several wind generators erected by Alaska Environmental Power, LLC stands on a knoll 120 feet above the Tanana Valley floor near Delta Junction. This 100-kilowatt generator is now providing power into Golden Valley Electric Associations grid. The Fairbanks company will erect a second 900-kilowatt wind generator that will go online in October at the same location with plans to create a 15-megawatt farm in the future.

The plan, pitched by former Gov. Sarah Palin under the Alaska Gasline Inducement Act, is projected to have drawn $150 million in investments from the team of TransCanada and Exxon Mobil by mid-summer, according to an October progress report.

AltaGas short-circuits BC Hydro This action by AltaGas, the owner of nearby BC run-of-river hydro project proposals, would short circuit the process to get the east of Wrangell Northwest Transmission Line moving in an expedited manner. It makes a connection to Southeast Alaska even more tangible.
