Chugach participated in the Anchorage Home Builders Association Home Show April 11–12 at the Alaska Airlines Center, spending the weekend connecting with our members. It was a pleasure to catch up with familiar faces and meet new ones while sharing information and answering questions. 

Staff shared insights on a wide range of topics, including energy efficiency, gas supply, and details about the upcoming annual meeting and election, while highlighting available member resources. 

ANCHORAGE, Alaska—The Alaska Energy Authority (AEA), Chugach Electric Association, Inc., and Carnival Corporation today announced continued progress on the Whittier Shore Power Project, a port electrification investment that enables cruise ships calling on Whittier to plug into shore‑based electrical power instead of operating diesel generators while docked. Crews are actively constructing the project, with operations expected to begin in spring 2027.

As part of its ongoing efforts to reduce the dependency on natural gas and achieve board-directed decarbonization goals, Chugach Electric Association, Inc. is moving forward on the investigation of potential hydroelectric sites around Southcentral Alaska.
