Ounalashka Corp. and Chena Power LLC, OCCP, plans to begin the first stages of construction in 2021 of an 18-to-30-megawatt geothermal energy plant on the eastern flank of the Makushin Volcano on Unalaska Island, to supply electrical power to the City of Unalaska power grid.
The partnership intends to substantially complete access road and work pad construction in the 2021 summer season, having completed environmental, archaeological, biological and physical field surveys for the road from Broad Bay to the power plant site last year, according to a May update on the project.
