Love or Hate Coal, Healy 2 is a bad deal for HEA members.

AIDEA gets rid of a costly white elephant.
GVEA gets another coal plant.
HEA members get to pay the bills.

Take 3 steps to avoid unnecessary rate hikes:

1. Contact HEA Board members.
Tell them you don't want them to sign a contract with AIDEA and GVEA under terms they approved last month.

3. Plan to attend the February 10 HEA Board meeting.
Bring your friends and neighbors. The meeting will be at 280 Airport Way in Kenai (5:30 PM). It will be video conferenced to the Homer office.

HEA General Manager Brad Janorschke claims the plant will produce power at a competitive price but there has been no third party assessment of:

Technical feasibility
Healy 2 relative to other power source options available to HEA
Potential costs and benefits of the proposed agreement

There is nothing to support Janorschke’s assertion.
