Healy Power Plant is composed of 2 generating units:
Healy Unit 1
- 28-megawatt (MW)
- Operational since 1967
Healy Unit 2
- 60-megawatt
- Began burning coal in 1998, 但一直处于预热状态，直到2013年12月从阿拉斯加工业发展和出口管理局(AIDEA)购买，并于2015年5月重新上线
- The plant has been commercially operated since September 2018
这个60兆瓦的发电厂增加了我们燃煤发电的基本负荷.
Permitting
- In November 2012, 金谷电力协会(GVEA)与, AIDEA and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was approved
- 争论的焦点是原子能机构重新发放飞行许可证，这是重启希利核电站2号机组的最后一个主要障碍
- Golden Valley chose to pursue the Consent Decree option with the EPA, otherwise, 空中许可程序没有明确的终点——《mg冰球突破豪华版下载》避免了合作公寓认为冗长而昂贵的诉讼
Consent Decree Stipulations
- GVEA同意在希利2号机组上安装最严格的排放控制装置, 估计成本为3000万美元，其中包括估计500万美元用于在希利1号机组上安装额外的一氧化二氮控制装置
- GVEA agreed to pay $250,为费尔班克斯北星区和德纳里区柴火炉更换计划提供资金，这将有助于缓解内陆的颗粒物问题.
- GVEA negotiated for a minimal payment of $115,支付给EPA -根据同意法令的规定，需要支付给EPA
同意令没有要求任何强制关闭日期，无论是1号机组还是2号机组. GVEA董事会对关闭任何一家工厂的决定保留完全控制权.
History of the Plant
In 1989, the U.S. 美国能源部清洁煤技术项目选择希利作为示范工厂，使用实验技术燃烧废煤. 希利2号机组于1998年开始燃烧煤炭，并在1999年的测试阶段间歇性发电. When the plant failed a 90-day commercial operation test, it was placed in warm lay-up status in early 2000. Talks between AIDEA and GVEA to resolve disputes were unsuccessful. In 2005, AIDEA filed a lawsuit against GVEA. The purchase of the power plant ended the lawsuit.
1993 Final Environmental Impact Statement:
Construction Funding

- Alaska Legislature – $25 million
- AIDEA – $150 million
- GVEA和Usibelli煤矿- 1000万美元外加实物捐助

Healy Unit 2 Videos
Coal Ash Handling Systems
Healy Unit 1: The former coal ash handling system, constructed in the 1990s, consisted of a primary settling pond (Ash Pond), a Recirculating Pond, an Emergency Overflow Pond, and an Ash Drying Area (defined as a CCR landfill by the CCR Rule). 所有三个池塘都被切开，储存体积小于20英亩英尺，高度小于20英尺. 来自灰池的煤灰被放置在灰干燥区，在Usibelli煤矿(UCM)运输和处置之前，多余的水被排干和蒸发。. 灰沉降池和灰干燥区构成了CCR规则规定的四个CCR单元. After closure of Unit 1’s coal ash settling ponds in 2021, 1号机组产生的煤灰被输送到2号机组的机械拖动输送系统. 2个机组的混合煤灰在卸载运输和UCM最终处置之前被输送到筒仓进行中间储存.
Healy Unit 2: 采用干法处理工艺和机械拖动输送系统对生成的煤灰进行管理. 2号机组的煤灰在运输和在UCM处理之前中间储存在筒仓中.
Interties
Northern Intertie
GVEA energized the Northern Intertie in October 2003. 这条全长97英里、230千伏的线路是GVEA提高系统可靠性的举措之一. This transmission line stretches between Healy and Fairbanks. Golden Valley is the northern control point for the Alaska Intertie, which serves most Railbelt communities. 这条输电线路沿着帕克斯高速公路走廊，在威洛和希利之间延伸. Through the Alaska Intertie, GVEA is connected to Chugach Electric Association, Matanuska Electric Association, 荷马电气协会和苏厄德市的电力系统.
Both interties allow GVEA to augment our 296 MW generation capacity, with an additional 70 MW from southern utilities.
