High Impact Hydro Project on the Kenai
Learn about the two high impact, low output projects on the Kenai River watershed.
Hydroelectric Projects Proposed for the Kenai River Watershed
HEA surrendered the permits for Crescent Lake,Ptarmigan and Falls Creek due to their findings that these two sites were economically and environmentally unfeasible to develop. However, they are still studying the feasibility of putting a dam on Grant Lake.
The sites being considered are high-value recreational lands with resident and anadromous fish populations. There are legitimate concerns being raised by local residents, agencies, fishermen and conservationists about these projects.
ACE has been a strong advocate for the Renewable Energy Fund and we support a comprehensive review of all projects to ensure that these funds are distributed to viable projects that will result in clean, low-impact energy solutions. Click on the links below to find out more.
