"district heating"

Duff Mitchell has a big vision for a small rectangular plot in downtown Juneau. He envisions it as the future site for a district heating facility. 

Juneau Hydropower Inc. was recently awarded a federal license for Sweetheart Lake Dam. It could power a gold mine and supply heat to the downtown core of the capital city with an innovative system.

Juneau Hydropower’s environmental impact statement was approved by a federal regulatory agency. The company is waiting for a license to build and operate a new hydroelectric plant.
