The goal of the conference is to create a forum for energy stakeholders to share ideas and information with the hope of promoting economic development, environmental sustainability and energy security for Alaskans. Discussions and presentations will focus on exploring the technical and economic feasibility of both existing fossil fuel and renewable energy options for rural Alaska, discuss new technologies, recent success stories, and identify what the state and industry can do to help rural utilities function at the highest possible level.

Structured within Business, Technology, and Maintenance & Operations tracks, sessions will cover topics including load management, data monitoring and analysis, plant operations, federal funding and local financing, asset management, efficiency, energy storage, rate setting, renewables, heat recovery, diesel maintenance, planning, clean energy integration, bulk fuel farms, alternative fuels, power system distribution, capacity building, workforce development, and more!
