Chugach was pleased to be a sponsor of the 2026 Alaska State Spelling Bee. The annual event brings together the top spellers in 4th to 8th grade from across Alaska. This year, 75 spellers went through 23 rounds of spelling.
The winning word was thrasonical. The winner, an 8th grader from Kenai Middle School, will represent Alaska at the Scripps National Spelling Bee.
This is a unique opportunity to get first-hand information from Chugach leaders. Come hear an update from leadership on programs and priorities of the cooperative including gas supply, renewable projects, recent accomplishments, and more. Members will have a chance to ask questions about issues that concern them.
This event is on March 24 from 6 to 7:30 p.m. in the Birch Room at the BP Energy Center.
In December, Chugach employees spread holiday cheer by helping prepare meals at Bean’s Café. Chugach is committed to the cooperative spirit of “Concern for Community” and to pursuing initiatives that support charitable and community efforts, all year round.
Holiday tables across Anchorage will shine brighter this season, thanks to the generosity of Chugach Electric. Through its annual turkey delivery, the member-owned cooperative donated 350 turkeys to 11 local nonprofits, helping neighbors share the joy of a complete holiday meal.
Chugach teamed up with Carlos Tree Service and 3rd graders at Bayshore Elementary School to plant a Sienna Glenn Maple as part of our Tree Line USA certification. During the planting we discussed how trees help with energy conservation, and students took turns shoveling dirt around the new tree.
As a Tree Line USA utility since 1999, Chugach plants a tree at a different elementary school each year to grow community connections and environmental awareness.
