Four hydropower projects will provide electricity for isolated Alaskan cities by late 1984. A 15Mw project is already producing power. The three remaining hydro projects are described. Tyee Lake is a lake tap project. Water is supplied to the powerhouse by tapping the lake via a tunnel blasted through the lake bottom. Water then flows through a vertical pressure shaft to a power tunnel and into an aboveground powerhouse. Swan Lake consists of a double-curved arch dam and a power tunnel. Terror Lake consists of a concrete-faced compacted rockfill dam and a power tunnel.
