ACEP Utility Student Internships 2019

The ACEP Utility Student Internship program was spearheaded in 2019. ACEP and 9 participating utilities selected a total of 9 students from the applicant pool. Each of the student interns had direct ties to ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ, with the majority being enrolled at the University of ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ in Anchorage and Fairbanks. The students were mechanical, electrical and civil engineering majors. As part of their preparatory work, the students attended a weekly lecture series with speakers from the utilities and ACEP during the spring semester. Immediately preceding the internship, the students attended a 5-day Microgrid Boot Camp in Fairbanks which focused specifically on the resources, technologies and operations of ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ’s wide range of microgrid energy systems.
