Viability analysis of Southeast Alaska and Yukon Economic Development Corridor

The scope of the telecommunication assessment in the current study was to determine if synergies existed with respect to the co-development of the transmission line and fibre optic link The objective of the viability analysis for the Project is to assess: 1. Under what conditions does an electrical interconnection make sense? [...] The current review of the site was carried out a component of the Development Scenarios to better understand the availability of public power from the West Creek site. [...] These scenarios set out the specific combinations of demand forecast and supply options that are considered in evaluation of the economic feasibility of the transmission intertie, and represent the basis for the preliminary cost estimates used in the technical analysis. [...] Viability Analysis of Southeast Alaska and Yukon Economic Development Corridor - 9 - 3 TECHNICAL FEASIBILITY OF TRANSMISSION INTERCONNECTION 3.1 SYSTEM INTERCONNECTION STUDY One of the key components of this technical review was to assess the technical feasibility of the proposed interconnection between the electrical system in the Skagway – Haines area and the electrical system in the Yukon. [...] Viability Analysis of Southeast Alaska and Yukon Economic Development Corridor - 10 - The intent of the study was to identify the technical feasibility of the interconnection of the two electrical systems.
