In April, GVEA entered into a one-year power purchase agreement with the University of Alaska Fairbanks.The agreement means that GVEA will have the ability to purchase power generated at UAF’s 17 megawatt combined heat and power plant on campus after all of UAF’s needs are met. This allows GVEA the flexibility to purchase from a local power producer when economic to do so, while enabling UAF to run their plant at higher, more efficient, loads.We are excited to engage with UAF through this agreement and for the opportunities that it brings to our members and the communities we both serve.More details: www.gvea.com/gvea-uaf-power-purchase/ ...
