Indian River Hydroelectric Project Phase 3

Dawson delivered Phase 3 of the Indian River Hydroelectric Project in Petersburg, expanding the facility's power generation capacity for Southeast Alaska. The project included new intake structures, additional penstock installation, powerhouse expansion, and transmission infrastructure, all coordinated in a remote wilderness setting that demanded the logistics expertise Dawson brings to every Southeast Alaska infrastructure project.

The Phase 3 expansion increased the Indian River facility's power generation capacity, providing Petersburg with additional clean, renewable energy that reduces dependence on expensive diesel generation. The existing facility continued operating throughout construction, and the expanded system now delivers more reliable power to the community. For Southeast Alaska, where energy costs directly affect the cost of living and the viability of local industry, every additional kilowatt of hydroelectric capacity makes a material difference in people's lives.
