The only nuclear power plant to ever operate in Alaska is being decommissioned this year, but Copper Valley Electric Association is looking at new reactor technology to give nuclear energy a new future.
The Chugach Electric Association board of directors appointed fifteen community members to serve on a Member Advisory Council.
Beyond 5G wireless in Prudhoe Bay, GCI envisions a telecommunications backbone to new renewable energy industries in Alaska.
Chugach Electric expects a proposed 4.1% rate increase would be a wash for customers, with a net decrease in reducing utility bills thanks to lower costs for natural gas.
GCI’s next 5G wireless network will be for the state’s richest industrial zone. Prudhoe Bay is scheduled to get 5G service in 2022.
Chugach Electric Association is partnering with JK Executive Strategies to find a replacement for CEO Lee Thibert, who is retiring at the end of April 2022.
