Renewable Energy Alaska Project - REAP Founded in 2004, REAP's mission is to facilitate the increased development of renewable energy in AK

Our mission is to facilitate the increased development of renewable energy in Alaska through collaboration, education, training, and advocacy. REAP’s current initiatives include working to improve the efficiency of the Railbelt electricity grid, advancing microgrids through the Alaska Microgrid Partnership and the Islanded Grid Resource Center; educating K-12 students statewide through the AK Energy Smart and Wind for Schools curricula; and promoting holistic community development through the Sustainable Southeast Partnership. REAP also advances clean energy business interests in the state.

As part of REAP's 2026 Spring Energy Speaker Series, we hosted a webinar introducing the concept of Unified Economic Dispatch, which is a process of grid-wide coordination that could save Alaska ratepayers millions on energy costs each year. At the end of that discussion, we teased a continuation of the conversation which we are pleased to bring to you now!

We hope you will join us next Wednesday for this virtual lunchtime conversation with Alaska energy experts to learn about:
🤝What it could practically look like to adopt Unified Economic Dispatch in the Railbelt; and
💰Actions being taken now – and decisions about to be made – that could impact the value that UED would bring to Alaska ratepayers.

Fall is here and winter is not too far off. Here in Anchorage, as in the rest of the state, rising energy costs mean that it will cost folks even more to stay warm in the coming months. Fortunately, there is a lot you can do to reduce your energy use while keeping your home warm and cozy! ♨️🫰

In the spirit of community and preparedness, REAP is proud to host a Winter Prep Fair at the Fairview Rec Center in Anchorage on Saturday, October 10, with a fantastic group of partner organizations (CIRI, Center for Safe Alaskans, The Alaska Center, Alaska Housing Finance Corporation, Anchorage Health Department, Cook Inlet Housing Authority, Alaska Youth for Environmental Action, SteamDot Coffee Company, and AKPIRG) 👬👭👫

Folks are welcome to stop by between Noon and 4pm for free food and home weatherization kits; family-friendly activities and demonstrations; and the chance to connect with local nonprofits that offer the programs and resources that can help keep you safe and warm this winter without breaking the bank. 🆓‼️

We hope to see you there, and we ask that you please spread the word so we can help get Anchorage ready for winter! 💙🔊

Thank you once again to everyone who joined us in-person and virtually Monday night for a conversation with Alaska's next Governor about our state's important energy issues! 👏

We packed the house at the Wilda Marston Theatre in Anchorage; more than 60 of you tuned in from watch parties in Fairbanks, Homer, and Juneau; and the event live-stream had nearly 400 additional views as of Tuesday morning. Even C-SPAN rebroadcast the stream. That level of incredible engagement illustrates the importance of ensuring access to affordable, reliable energy for all Alaskans and the critical role our next Governor will play in doing so. Thank you! 💚

We want to say one more thank you to all four gubernatorial candidates (Dave Bronson for Governor, JKT for Gov, Treg Taylor, and Bernadette for Governor) for sharing their valuable time with us and for the thoughtful conversation. 🙏

And a massive thank you to our incredible co-hosts (Alaska Power Association, Alaska Municipal League, Alaska Village Electric Cooperative, Doyon, Limited, CIRI, and New Energy Alaska) for working with us to bring this important event together. 🤝

The full event recording is now available on our YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/IsHw0m_cmc8?si=oAJG9ClNDQkGLouF 🔗

For the final installment in our four-part series breaking down key findings from REAP’s recently released clean energy workforce report, we draw attention to avenues for continued research that could strengthen the foundation for future energy workforce development efforts in Alaska and highlight the ways that REAP will integrate the “Opportunity Analysis” findings into our work going forward. 🔬🔊

As a direct provider of energy education to thousands of students each year, a coordinator for proactive electric utility training, a regional partner for delivering energy technical assistance projects in rural and remote communities, and the Alaska Energy Training Group convener, REAP is positioned to translate many of the report findings into action. But we can’t do it alone! Partnerships bring these priorities and strategies to life. 🤝

Please visit the REAP blog to learn how you can stay engaged and work with us on workforce.👷‍♀️🧑‍🔧: https://alaskarenewableenergy.org/from-insight-to-impact-next-steps-for-building-alaskas-energy-workforce-of-the-future/
