AEA’s Circuit Rider Program provides eligible utilities with technical assistance to improve the efficiency, safety, and reliability of their energy infrastructure. Circuit Riders provide skilled labor to address, diagnose, and repair rural powerhouses, including to provide training for local communities to create skilled power plant labor. This program helps to reduce the risk and severity of emergency conditions. The Circuit Rider program develops strong ties with the remote Alaskan communities. The power system operator ecosystem in Alaska is interdependent, with strong collaboration between the state and utilities in ensuring system operability and community health and safety. As part of its Solar for All program, AEA will ensure that the Circuit Riders have the tools and training to increase support for community and residential solar and continues to support and train local communities in the use of improved power systems.
