Climate & Clean Energy

Powering a Thriving, Just, and Sustainable Future.

At The Alaska Center, we envision a future where clean energy powers every community, and Alaskans lead the way in climate resilience and innovation. We collaborate with communities, tribes, partners, and leaders at every level—local, state, and federal—to champion effective policies that prioritize renewable energy, climate solutions, and a diverse, sustainable economy. Our efforts focus on transitioning to renewable energy and climate solutions in a way that is equitable and inclusive, ensuring no community is left behind.

By embracing a Just Transition, we are building pathways away from harmful extractive industries toward opportunities that uplift and empower all Alaskans. Together, we are creating a future where Alaska’s leadership in climate solutions ensures a long, healthy, and prosperous future for our home and our people.

Utility Elections and Engagement

We endorse and elect strong pro-renewable champions to key Utility Board positions to ensure the people in charge of our power move us toward a clean energy future. Our advocacy continues year-round, as we attend Board Meetings to make public comments and petition Utility Boards for pro-renewable action.

Policy Advocacy at Every Level

Whether it’s at the Utility Board, the state legislature, the Regulatory Commission of Alaska, or the federal government, The Alaska Center is always advocating for climate and clean energy policies that are impactful and equitable. We are so proud of our recent accomplishments, including passing Community Solar at the state level, and excited to continue to see this work forward.

Strong Partnerships

Our work is done in deep partnership with other organizations, advocates, and stakeholders to ensure that a Just Transition doesn’t leave anyone behind. We seek out opportunities to collaborate with others, especially those who have a different perspective than our own, so that we can learn together and achieve the best possible outcome for all Alaskans.
