Utility director Chris Brewton and Blue Lake expansion project manager Dean Orbison discuss the status of Sitka’s current generation outage, as a penstock is installed at the new Blue Lake powerhouse. While Blue Lake hydro is down, the city is running on Green Lake hydro, plus a new Solar Titan diesel turbine — one of the first permanent installations of this unit in Alaska.
