Summary
Alaska’s biggest solar farm is poised to outshine natural gas in cost this summer, thanks to soaring gas prices and dwindling Cook Inlet supplies—but its power fades in winter, forcing utilities to pair it with other sources. Even rural areas are switching to solar-diesel combos for savings, while Chugach explores small hydroprojects to diversify energy. Construction starts before July 4 to snag federal tax credits, marking a pivotal step toward a more resilient, renewable-powered future—even if full summer independence without new hydro remains out of reach.
