SB 149 Alaska Senate · 34th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relating to generation of electricity from renewable energy resources; relating to a renewable portfolio standard; relating to power cost equalization; and providing for an effective date.

This bill establishes new renewable energy requirements for utilities in Alaska. It requires load-serving entities (utilities) to generate or procure 40% of their electricity from renewable sources by 2030 and 55% by 2035. The bill includes a specific incentive: wind energy projects operational before 2033 count as 1.25 times their actual megawatt hours toward meeting the target. These changes modify existing utility regulations to prioritize renewable energy adoption while maintaining grid reliability standards.
