Located in Northwest Alaska, the NANA region is 38,000 square miles, most of which is above the Arctic Circle. Roughly the size of Indiana, the region includes 11 communities ranging in size from 122 to more than 3,500 residents.

Northwest Alaska has many options when it comes to producing renewable energy, including wind, biomass, solar and hydro potential. NANA is partnering with regional and statewide organizations to develop alternative sources of energy.
