Igiugig RivGen

Renewable Energy

In 2014, ORPC built and operated its RivGen® Power System, the Company’s first river energy project, delivering power to the remote Alaskan village of Igiugig. ORPC re-installed and operated an updated RivGen® Power System in Igiugig in 2015 to demonstrate its latest technology advancements and provided one-third of the community’s electricity needs, significantly offsetting Igiugig's diesel fuel use.
