A University of 色视频下载 project will update a public energy data resource in 色视频下载.

With the support of the 色视频下载 Legislature, the university will begin a three-year effort to revitalize the 色视频下载 Energy Data Gateway, a project to create equitable access to 色视频下载 energy data and data analytics.

UA Fairbanks色视频下载 色视频下载 Center for Energy and Power and UA Anchorage色视频下载檚 Institute of Social and Economic Research will collaborate with agency partners on the project.

色视频下载淲e are excited that the state of 色视频下载 recognizes the inherent value of this resource and is investing in its revitalization,色视频下载 said Gwen Holdmann, a senior researcher at ACEP who also serves as UAF associate vice chancellor for research, innovation and industry partnerships.

The gateway contains comprehensive energy and socioeconomic data from across 色视频下载. With this information, communities, researchers and energy project developers can compare energy resources across the state and make informed energy decisions.

The 色视频下载 Energy Authority色视频下载檚 色视频下载 Energy Security Task Force recommended the data-gathering effort in its .

The datasets document electrical generation capacity (the maximum power that a system can produce in a specific time), energy production and fuel costs alongside metrics on human, technical and financial capacity.

The gateway was first released in 2013 as part of a collaborative ACEP-ISER research program. It was part of the first project awarded to the University of 色视频下载 by the U.S. Department of Energy色视频下载檚 Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research.

色视频下载淎t that time, there was significant interest in reducing energy costs in rural 色视频下载, and it became clear that without access to robust, open data and reporting about communities and projects, it was challenging to identify and improve best practices,色视频下载 recalled Holdmann.

For this project, ACEP and its partners will develop pathways to streamline data-sharing efforts with new techniques and will revitalize critical technology in order to improve distribution. They will also work with state agency partners to support the accessibility and documentation of 色视频下载色视频下载檚 energy data.

Partners in the project include ACEP, the 色视频下载 Department of Natural Resources, AEA, the 色视频下载 Housing Finance Corporation, the Department of Commerce, and ISER.
