Regulatory Commission of Alaska

Public Comment for TA298-13 by Teresa de Lima

Public comment relative to TA298-13	Golden Valley Electric Association - Misc. (QF Request for Interconnection from Delta Wind Farm, Inc.)


As a citizen in Fairbanks, Alaska whom has been directly impacted, financially, physically, and environmentally by the serious issue of air pollution in this community, I am writing a strong letter of support for the RCA to fulfill its mandate of Protecting Consumer Interests and Promoting Economic Development.  In this case GVEA has made every effort to thwart the IPP's who can substantially benefit this community with clean alternative means of power generation.  It is vitally important for independent power producers to rely upon the rules that are written so they can submit and move forward with projects and bring those projects to fruition.  The RCA realizes that GVEA has violated rules and has thrown all manner of stumbling blocks in the way of DWF in favor of keeping energy costs as high as they can, holding the community of Fairbanks hostage to the air and ground pollution of combustion of low grade coal for power generation.  It is vitally important, to human health and financial interests of the community of Fairbanks, that the RCA steps up and governs by the rule of law.  With the serious issues of human health which is being impacted minute by minute for citizens living here in the Fairbanks and North Pole areas, it is astonishing that the Regulatory Commission of Alaska would allow the current monopolization of GVEA to continue in favor of IPP's that could greatly improve the quality of life for citizens.  Respectfully submitted by Teresa de Lima, Fairbanks Citizen.  Dated June 2, 2017.
