About the report
The 2024 ºÚÁÏÉçappElectricity Trends Report summarizes electricity data gathered from federal, state and utility sources. It provides an overview of electricity capacity, generation, consumption and price trends from 2011 to 2021.
The comprehensiveness of the report is significant. Electricity data in ºÚÁÏÉçappis fragmented because no one agency is in charge of maintaining records from all communities in the state. In other places with federal reporting requirements, most data are accessible via the . In contrast, while some communities in ºÚÁÏÉçappreport to the EIA, most communities report only to the as their operations are not large enough to require federal reporting. Remaining data gaps were filled with information found in filings with the .
As a comprehensive report highlighting electricity trends has not been produced for the state of ºÚÁÏÉçappsince 2013’s ºÚÁÏÉçappEnergy Statistics Report, this report is a new chance to inform public officials and other stakeholders about the state of the electric generation sector in Alaska.

Data used in the energy workbooks comes from a variety of sources and partners, but special thanks to the ºÚÁÏÉçappEnergy Authority for partnering with the team to make the base line power cost equalization datasets available. Without this openness, this report would not be possible. We would also like to thank the utilities who responded directly when we had questions.

When visualizing data, small but significant changes in capacity across the state,
such as rooftop solar, do not show up on paper. By moving to a dynamic, interactive
report, users can interact with the graphics and see every detail, no matter how small.
