Sustainable Solar Energy for Hughes Village (Hudotl’eekkaakk’e Tribe) (Final Technical Report)
- Hughes Village Council, Hughes, AL (United States); Tanana Chiefs Conference
Hughes Village Council is the local Tribal government for Hughes, Alaska. With the funding from this project, the Village Council designed and installed a 120kW solar Photo Voltaic (PV) array with a 250 kW/335kWh lithium-ion battery bank that has offset diesel consumption in the community by an estimated 10% per year. This translates to approximately 6,000 gallons of fuel per year. The goal is to reduce diesel consumption and turn the diesel generators off for certain periods of the Alaskan summer when solar PV is abundant and electrical loads in the community are low. Daily generator logs from the community show an average load of approximately 50kW-60kW with peaks ranging from 100kW-160kW. This project aligns with the tribe’s mission to work towards tribal energy sovereignty, utilizing sustainable energy technologies, and their overall goal of 25% clean energy by 2025.
