About this data
What a kilowatt-hour actually costs in ~190 rural Alaska communities, each
year, before and after the Power Cost Equalization credit — plus the price
the utility paid for its fuel.
PCE is the state programme that buys rural residential rates down toward
what Anchorage, Fairbanks and Juneau pay. It applies to the first 750 kWh a
month for residents and to community facilities; it does not apply to
commercial customers. So a community has two true electricity prices, and
which one matters depends on who is asking: the posted rate is what a
business pays, the effective rate is what a household pays.
The spread is the point. In FY2025 the posted residential rate ranged from
about 17 c/kWh to over $1/kWh between communities — the widest dispersion of
any price series this project carries.
Known issues & gotchas
- PCE communities are not all Alaska communities. The programme covers
participating rural utilities only. Anchorage, Fairbanks, Juneau, Kodiak and
the rest of the railbelt are absent by design — not missing data. Any
statewide comparison that treats this as "Alaska communities" is wrong; EIA
utility-level data (EIA-861) is the source for the non-PCE utilities, and is
not yet ingested.
- The host matters.
www.commerce.alaska.govis behind DataDome and 403s
every plain HTTP client, including from a residential IP (verified
2026-09-17). maps.commerce.alaska.gov — the ArcGIS server behind the same
division's maps — is not. Use it. This is the same trap recorded for
dcced_business_licenses.
- The effective rate can exceed the posted rate in rows where the utility
serves customers outside the PCE-eligible classes, and is null where a
community reported no eligible sales. Nulls are skipped, never zero-filled.
- DataYear is a FISCAL year ending 30 June, stored as 30 June of that
year. It is not a calendar year.
- The layer holds 2001 and 2006 and then a continuous run from 2010. The gaps
are in the published source, not in the fetch.
