Cordova Energy Efficiency Study
Marc Mueller-Stoffels, Phil Maker, and Abbas Akhil traveled to Cordova, Alaska at
the end of last week to meet with representatives of Cordova Electric Cooperative,
the sole provider of electricity to the town of Cordova. Marc, Phil, Abbas, and the
Cooperative’s leadership discussed how to better utilize the hydro power of the area
in terms of energy storage and demand management. The study is a collaborative assessment
combining ACEP, Cordova Electric Cooperative, and Sandia National Laboratory’s expertise.
It is funded through the US Department of Energy and Alaska Capital Improvement Plan.
