The Thayer Creek Hydro project would use a 40-foot high dam to impound water over an area of 7 acres.
Alaska Senators Murkowski and Sullivan announced on Tuesday that almost $27 million from the bipartisan infrastructure bill is headed toward the community of Angoon for the construction of a run-of-river hydro plant on Thayer Creek. “The overall project cost for Thayer Hydro is currently estimated to be $33,650,000,” Wundrow’s email said. “We have secured other funding from the Alaska Energy Authority and Denali Commission, that brings the funding gap to $500,000 — $1.5 million, depending on a pending proposal we have in the works.”
