What Can We Learn from Energy Development in Iceland?
Presented by Gwen Holdmann, Director of the Alaska Center for Energy and Power
Iceland is a country with virtually no fossil energyresources but has e ectively developed geothermal andlarge scale hydropower to meet domestic needs and spureconomic development. With a small, isolated population,immense natural resources and arctic environment,Iceland shares many similarities with Alaska but has takena very di erent approach to enacting policies that attractindustry, address energy security, and encourageeconomic growth. UAF researchers and students recentlytraveled to Iceland with the goal of identifying energydevelopment lessons from our arctic neighbors.
Join the Alaska Center for Energy and Power to hear whatAlaska could consider for our energy future in areas such asdevelopment of district heating systems, food security, andlarge scale hydropower development.Community Energy Lecture Series EventDate and Time
