N2 - This report consolidates efforts among Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), the United States Department of Energy's (DOE) Office of Indian Energy Policy and Programs, and the Alaska Energy Authority (AEA) to evaluate opportunities for hydropower development among 171 Alaska Native villages. This research builds upon new stream -reach development (NSD) research [3] conducted by DOE/ORNL and geospatial modelling provided by the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) [ 2 ]. Based on that information, ORNL has developed a model that evaluates village diesel (gallons) consumption, cost, price per gallon, and kilowatt-hours produced and purchased [4], in conjunction with the past analyses of DOE and BIA, to identify potential benefits of diesel offset from hydropower development on a yearly and 50-year (assumed hydro project lifespan) basis.
