List of power stations in Alaska
This is a list of electricity-generating power stations in the U.S. state of Alaska, sorted by type and name. In 2019, Alaska had a total summer capacity of 2,760 MW through all of its power plants, and a net generation of 6,071 GWh.[2] The corresponding electrical energy generation mix was 44.2% natural gas, 26.7% hydroelectric, 14.8% petroleum, 11.3% coal, 2.4% wind, and 0.6% biomass.[1] The nation's only coal plant constructed since 2015 began operations in February 2020 at the University of Fairbanks.[3]
Sources of Alaska utility-scale electricity generation:
full-year 2019[1]
Coal (11.3%)
Natural Gas (44.2%)
Hydroelectric (26.7%)
Wind (2.4%)
Biomass (0.6%)
Petroleum (14.8%)
Many of Alaska's power stations are diesel generators which service isolated communities and their localized transmission & distribution networks. A grid known as "the Railbelt" serves about two-thirds of the state's population; extending from Fairbanks through Anchorage and into the Kenai Peninsula. Alaska is second behind Hawaii in the consumption of petroleum for electricity generation. The state has vast untapped renewable resources; including wind near its coastlines, hydropower in its high-precipitation mountain regions, biomass from its forest and agriculture products, and solar from its rooftops.[3]
Nuclear power stations
There were no utility-scale Nuclear facilities in the state of Alaska in 2019. A proposed nuclear power station was the Galena Nuclear Power Plant.
Fossil-fuel power stations
