The Alyeska micro-turbine project captures year-round stream flow from the mountain's drainage network to generate on-site renewable electricity for the resort's operations.
The turbine housing is designed for minimal maintenance access — a small team can service the equipment without heavy equipment, from snowmobile access in winter.
The project reduced the resort's grid electricity consumption by approximately 15% annually, a significant operating cost reduction that more than justified the capital investment within five years.
