The Inventory and Assessment Project began with the Powerhouse Inventory and Assessment Project as a way to help the Alaska Energy Authority (AEA) prioritize limited funding by providing an objective way to assess the condition of powerhouses in rural communities. Data collection started in 2019 with a detailed survey and 3D imagery of powerhouses. In 2023 data collection for the Bulk Fuel Inventory and Assessment started with a detailed survey and 3D imagery and in 2024 data collection started for Distribution Inventory and Assessment began. Data collected includes a detailed survey, video, photogrammetry, and Scene Layers of distribution lines. The powerhouse imagery and all survey data has been classified under Critical Electric/Energy Infrastructure Information (CEII) and therefore is not public. Anyone who is interested in viewing the data will need to fill out an application. If approved, AEA will provide access to view the data, we do not share the raw data. An application is not needed for the bulk fuel imagery. Email AEA for a link to view the imagery.
