Delta to lose electricity without upgrades
Associated Press
A letter from the Alaska Village Electric Cooperative warns YukonKuskokwim Delta residents that they won’t have electricity if they don’t repair their aging electric equipment soon.
KYUK-AM reported March 25 that the residents must pay for the repairs themselves. The utility is only responsible for connecting the wires to the home or business and does not have funds available to help subsidize repairs. At least 450 Bethel residents have received a letter, but the utility says a “few hundred” more were sent to most of the 58 communities that it serves. Utility CEO Meera Kohler says that the cooperative is required to shut off outdated power sources due to federal standards. Residents who received a letter have until Aug. 15, 2018, to repair their equipment. - ASSOCIATED PRESS
