ELECTRIC UTILITY RESTRUCTURING STUDY
House Concurrent Resolution No. 21 (HCR 21) established the
Alaska Energy Policy Task Force. The Task Force examined how
electricity is generated, transmitted, and distributed in Alaska
in order to meet the State's existing and future electrical needs
in a safe and efficient manner. The Task Force developed a
long-term Energy Plan for Alaska that will enhance the State's
economic future.
RAILBELT CONTRACT SUMMARY
The following pages contain brief descriptions of the contractual
arrangements that govern electricity provisions in the Railbelt.
The goal of the document is to afford the reader an intuitive
understanding of contract structure, along with pertinent terms
and conditions for each of the contracts. The intent is to provide
the Commission with a knowledge base for use in future
proceedings in R-97-010, the Electric Market Structure Docket.
The document is organized to present summaries of each
contract in a uniform format. Graphic presentations are also
included to show the overall structure in which individual
contracts reside.
