Mat-Su Energy Development Center for Alaskans



Repower Alaska

Mr. President, This is our effort to create jobs for our citizens here in Alaska.
We have been working on this idea for over a year now, please read the comments toward the bottom of this page. Also view letters of support.

Hello from George and Cassandra Sikat


We are looking for public comment on the idea of developing a 120 acre business park dedicated to energy related careers for Alaskans. The Mat-Su Borough (
Mat-Su Borough website) is where we hope to break ground. Wind turbine, solar power systems, hydro power, geothermal, diesel engine retrofits, gas line career development and arctic energy development will be some of the training available. Energy efficient homes and buildings fitted with renewable energy systems will be on display for the public to visit. The business park itself will have renewable energy systems to offset the heating and electricity bills.

Basically we feel that if energy related training programs and projects were developed in one location, communications and face to face discussions would be more efficient and help put Alaska's energy needs and marketability on the fast track. Technologies developed on the campus will be marketed world wide. Careers in the retrofitting of our energy grid will become available.
Our intent with this business park is to create job and career opportunities for people like you and me.
