The City and Borough of Sitka is located in the center of the Tongass National Forest, the largest temperate rain forest in the world. Partly because of this environment, Sitka is rated as one of the best places to live in the United States. Sitka's municipal utility, which derives its power principally from a hydroelectric plant, serves 9,000 residents in a 4,000 square mile territory. All was fine until ballooning fuel oil pnces led many of Sitka's residents to switch from heating with oil to electnc heat, and the hydroelectnc plant proved incapable of meeting the increased demand for electricity. It was clear the facility had to be upgraded, but in the meantime, additional power was needed. The utility planners turned to Sola- Turbines and the Titan'' I3C Modular Power Plant (MPP) to solve their challenge. Additional power was not the utility's only concern. In this pnstine area, exhaust emissions were also a critical concern. The Titan 130 utilizes Solar's advanced SoLoNOx™ low emissions combustion technology, and easily met the utility's stringent specifications.
