Next Thursday, Jan 8, at 12pm, the Alaska Railbelt Reliability Council (RRC) will host a public webinar providing Alaskans with essential information about Alaska’s first ever Integrated Resource Plan (IRP).
Announced Dec 2, 2025, the Railbelt’s IRP is a “comprehensive strategy [that] aims to ensure a reliable, affordable, and future-ready electricity system across the 700-mile corridor from Fairbanks to Homer, which serves about 75% of the state’s population.”
The Jan 8 meeting kicks off a series of opportunities that Alaskans will have this year to participate in shaping the IRP. RRC expects to submit the final draft to the Regulatory Commission of Alaska in early 2027.
Alaskans can register for the webinar here. Must Read Alaska will also attend the meeting and publish a report.
Thank you for printing this well ahead of time so I can plan accordingly. 🙂
Surely The Plan means equal or better service at the same or less cost to ratepayers.

If not, can the Peoples’ Alaska Railbelt Reliability Council just skip the delphi “webinars” and get on with whatever surprise(s) they’re planning for ratepayers?
