WARNING

This data contains inconsistencies. Please pay special attention to the errata. This repository is designed to act as an archive for the workbooks as delivered via contract.

NOTE

This data has been reproduced in an updated form for the 2024 Alaska Electricity Trends Report. This report includes updated data for download that addresses many of the issues in the errata.

Overview

This repository is the landing page for ACEP’s support of the Alaska Energy Statistics workbooks and reports.

The Alaska Energy Statistics is a long-running collection of data and reports about energy production, consumption, and related topics specific to the state of Alaska. The workbooks are developed to provide community & utility level datasets that support regional and statewide aggregations for use in the report.

This is part of a 40+ year effort to create and maintain high level views of the state’s energy profile that are useful for policy makers, buinesess, researches, and others interested in Alaska’s energy sector.

• Alaska Energy Authority, is the state’s energy office and lead agency for statewide energy policy and program development.
• Alaska Center for Energy and Power, a research center at the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF)
• Institute of Social and Economic Research (ISER) is a research center at the University of Alaska Anchorage (UAA).
