The objectives are:
1.Assist the efficient and sound development of renewable energy installations in Alaska by identifying the best practices and policies;
2.Develop a virtual toolbox that provides an internally complete set of guidelines that outline the key steps and considerations in the implementation of a high quality wind-diesel project;
3.Provide references to existing (successful) wind power projects in Alaska so as to enable policymakers create policies based on an assessment of the benefits of wind power projects;
4.Serve as a template for future application-specific Best Practice documents that will provide more detailed information and examples.
Overall, the Guidelines seek to identify, analyze and promote new best practices and policies in promoting the acceptance of wind. The Guidelines outlines the best practices designed to be practical and intended for use primarily by developers of wind-diesel projects
