The funding is part of FAA’s 2023 Supplemental Discretionary Grant Program, designed to support innovative projects that improve airport infrastructure and sustainability.
“We are proud to be among the recipients of this critical funding, which will enable us to implement advanced energy solutions,” says Angie Spear, acting director of ANC.
The airport power plant is meant to bolster the operational resilience of ANC.
Designed with an impressive 90 percent energy conversion efficiency, the plant will operate in parallel with the utility grid to ensure uninterrupted power during outages. It also will reduce reliance on existing boiler systems. The co-generation system will generate both electrical and thermal energy, effectively capturing waste heat for the North Terminal’s heating needs.
