Today is the last day of the Chugach Electric Utility board election. The annual vote usually passes under the radar, but this year it’s been a fierce race, with nine candidates vying for three seats to guide the future of Anchorage’s electric utility.

Water from Eklutna Lake powers the Eklutna Hydroelectric Project, one of Chugach Electric Association’s current sources of renewable energy.

Part of the reason for the heavy competition is that Chugach Electric is at a crossroads. Chugach and other railbelt utilities have for years sourced natural gas from Cook Inlet — but that supply is dwindling. Now the utility has to decide how it wants to produce power in the future. One of those candidates, Shaina Kilcoyne, said she doesn’t want the utility to have to import natural gas from outside Alaska. And she wants the utility to take advantage of new federal dollars to go after renewables.
