Wrangell's Solar Farm: Powering Future Growth
Wrangells new 44-acre solar power farm, with 1.5 megawatts of capacity, is set to expand to 5 megawatts with battery backup. SEAPA will build and run it, leasing land from the city for $1/year, providing Wrangell with priority power. This project aims to reduce diesel costs, support economic growth, and ensure grid stability during peak demand and outages. The solar setup is the preferred renewable option after evaluating wind, tidal, and geothermal alternatives. The first phase, costing $6 million, is funded mainly by tax credits and must be completed by July 4th due to a new federal bill.
