In the Community

Chugach powers community event at Lyn Ary Park

We brought the power to the Fish Creek Indigenous Place Name Celebration at Lyn Ary Park! We used one of our Chevy Silverado EV trucks to power the stage and sound equipment for three hours (using less than 1% of the Silverado's battery). Using EVs for public events eliminates the sights and sounds of a generator. Thank you to the Anchorage Park Foundation for organizing this important community event.

Chugach adds EV fast-charging stations

Cooper Landing and Moose Pass are the latest communities in the Chugach service territory to gain modern electric vehicle (EV) fast-charging stations. New chargers in those locations will be available in July 2026, with additional sites in Girdwood and South Anchorage available by fall. The Cooper Landing EV charging site is at the new Three Bears and the Moose Pass site is next to the Estes Brothers Grocery.

Chugach’s new charging sites feature 400 kW chargers capable of charging most EVs in under 30 minutes and cut the distance between charging sites in half. Chugach’s sites complement new Supercharger stations in Fairbanks, Nenana, Cantwell, Trapper Creek, and at the Muldoon Fred Meyer in Anchorage. To learn more and explore charging locations, visit the EV page on our website.

Pitching in for a cleaner community

With safety vests and the bright orange iconic trash bags, Team Chugach joined the 2026 Anchorage Citywide Cleanup. The team picked up dozens of bags of trash, sprucing up the area around Chugach facilities.

Powering homes and building connections

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.
