Facing a severe natural gas shortfall, Alaska is making immediate decisions on LNG import contracts for the next 30 years. A lack of institutional leadership and predatory delay from Alaska's public utilities and state agencies have created the current crisis. While LNG imports are a necessary bridge as renewables are built, they are not a long-term solution. AK PIRG staunchly opposes expensive, long-term LNG obligations and is working extensively at the Regulatory Commission of Alaska to keep the lights on in the short term and protect consumers from being locked into LNG and rising market prices in the long term.

Renewable Energy Alaska Project is Alaska’s leading clean energy education and advocacy group. REAP is currently pushing legislation that would require the state’s four largest utilities to diversify their generation portfolio away from a heavy reliance on natural gas. Those utilities are now preparing to import extremely expensive LNG, as local gas supplies begin to run short. Working with its statewide coalition, REAP is advocating for a renewable portfolio standard (RPS) requiring that 55% of the electricity on the state’s largest electric grid come from renewable sources by 2035, a transition that would save consumers over $1 billion by 2040.

SWEEP works to achieve a healthy, equitable, and low carbon future in the Southwest United States. A priority campaign for the organization in 2025 is securing a fully decarbonized electric grid in Colorado as quickly as possible. Locking in statute a “100% clean energy by 2040” policy for all Colorado utilities would establish a much-needed beachhead of climate leadership in the Interior West, pushing back against federal headwinds and generating momentum for the state’s next governor in 2026. To overcome utility opposition and ensure success, SWEEP needs additional resources for advocacy and paid communications.
