Project highlight: TransAlaska Building

KI Energy installed North America’s first Yanmar 35kW Combined Heat and Power (CHP) Blackout System at the TransAlaska Building, in the middle of Wasilla, Alaska, in 2017. By December of 2018, the TransAlaska Yanmar CHP had documented a 93% drop in monthly power utility bills, with less than a 2% increase in annual heating costs. These savings represent a less than 4 year ROI, with sustainable, secured energy resiliency, and a more reliable source for heating and power needs.

 

When the 7.0 magnitude Alaskan Earthquake hit on November 30, 2018, the entire Southcentral Power Grid went down for more than four hours. The TransAlaska CHP Blackout System not only survived the earthquake, it was only one of three Wasilla buildings fully operational with power within minutes, and just eight miles from the epicenter.
