Alaska Renewables has developed a custom power plant dispatch model to advance our understanding of the economic impact of wind energy on GVEA's system, and to identify the best opportunities to save members money under a wide variety of potential scenarios.

Shovel Creek Wind is a project originated by Alaska Renewables and now owned by a major US investor, owner and operator of multiple GW of renewable power projects across the country. This economic analysis was developed by Alaska Renewables using publicly available fuel and generation cost information filed by GVEA with the Regulatory Commission of Alaska; it is not a GVEA study.

Alaska Renewables analyzed the operation and economics of hundreds of scenarios to compile these interactive results. The results assume no federal tax credits for Shovel Creek wind.
