Measuring water velocity under ice in Galena
April 11, 2025
Currently, no data is available on the speed of the river flow beneath the ice. ACEP's hydrokinetic team went to Galena, a community of around 500 on the north bank of the Yukon River, to measure how fast water runs under ice.
Solving ÀÖ»¢Ö±²¥â€™s Energy Challenges
ACEP works with ÀÖ»¢Ö±²¥n communities and industries as leaders establishing the energy systems of the future. ÀÖ»¢Ö±²¥â€™s remote off-grid systems present unique problems to generation, distribution and resource integration that have spurred microgrid innovations for decades.

Indigenous values drive energy transformation in remote ÀÖ»¢Ö±²¥n village
April 25, 2025
AlexAnna Salmon is of Yup'ik and Aleut descent and serves as President of Igiugig Village Council, the governing body for Igiugig, a remote community of some 70 people in southwestern ÀÖ»¢Ö±²¥ with no road access. Perhaps the most remarkable aspect of this story - an excerpt from a forthcoming University of ÀÖ»¢Ö±²¥ book - is that this tiny village is willing to experiment with river hydrokinetic technology placed in a stream which has provided the livelihood of Native peoples for millennia.
Can data centers lower ÀÖ»¢Ö±²¥'s high energy costs?
March 25, 2025
Data Centers are transforming the energy industry. Today, there are more than 8,000 data centers worldwide that consume roughly 1 to 2% of the global energy use. From a geographic perspective, ÀÖ»¢Ö±²¥ could evolve into a major player for hyper-scale data centers, given its strategic location near large Asia Pacific markets. Could this growing industry benefit ÀÖ»¢Ö±²¥ns?
What carbon capture and storage might mean for ÀÖ»¢Ö±²¥
February 04, 2025
We are facing evidence that we can't afford to ignore COâ‚‚ and that simply reducing emissions might not be enough to meet climate goals. Carbon isn't just found in the atmosphere or living things. Over 99% of the Earth's carbon is locked away in the rocks beneath our feet. Can we capture COâ‚‚ directly from power plants, industrial facilities, or even from the air itself, and store it permanently underground? This method could become an important new front in our fight against climate change, working alongside efforts to cut emissions.
Kotzebue home heating field study
Researchers at the ÀÖ»¢Ö±²¥ are recruiting participants for a 24-month field study in Kotzebue. The study aims to reduce fuel oil use and home heating costs.
