Mayor Peter Micciche met with Alaska Energy Authority leadership this week. Mayor Micciche, with over forty years of experience in Alaska energy issues, discussed important borough and state-wide matters with Executive Director Curtis Thayer, General Council, Mark Billingsley and James Mendenhall, Director of Owned Assets.

Discussions included the Cook Inlet PowerLink project, a 38-miles submarine transmission line planned between Nikiski and Beluga, the Bradley Lake Hydroelectric Project Expansion for more of the cheapest source of power for Borough residents and other communities along the Railbelt. The team also requested Mayor Micciche’s opinion on best options for the short and long-term gas supply for SouthCentral and Alaska in general. The Mayor is well versed in energy policy and operations and is often consulted by both state and federal agencies. Great, informative visit with a group of experts focused on Alaska’s energy security.
