Nuyakuk Falls Hydroproject Reaches Major Milestone
The Nushagak Cooperative has submitted a two-year study on the proposed Nuyakuk Falls hydroelectric project to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. The project would divert 30% of the river’s flow to produce 58,200 megawatt-hours annually, cutting diesel reliance. Located in Wood-Tikchik State Park, this report marks a major milestone, with a final feasibility decision expected in April 2025.
