Not in anybodies lifetime. I don’t even see why it is being considered.

The Chakachamna projects make musch more sense.
It could replace the gas-fired Beliga plant (which is getting old) (330MW), NO DAM, and the hyfro plant would only be 50 miles from the existing feed to the railbelt, avoiding the cost of all new infrastructure.

TDX has already loked at the site and has recommendations.

The fight will be between Big Coal (or at least alaska big coal) vs hydro.

Had the State issued permits, construction would be underway now......
