\u201cThe proposal includes Renewable Energy Credits, a pseudo carbon tax wherein co-ops buy credits instead of building renewable projects; a wind-energy bonus multiplier of 1.25x for large projects; and a Fine reinvestment option to force renewable projects. This mandated energy transformation locks Alaskans into unreliable and politically favored renewables, whether the market (or the people) like it or not.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

For decades now, Alaska\u2019s energy policy has come to be shaped not by the will of the people but by nefarious outside influence. The long track of intrusion has been led by climate activists and their NGOs (nongovernmental organizations).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Back in 2010, renewable energy targets were snuck into Alaska energy policy<\/a>, laying the groundwork for today\u2019s clamor for the Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS). Most Alaskans don\u2019t realize how much of this policy was written by and for self-interested, Leftie NGOs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The same activist networks that roamed the halls of Juneau back then never left. These groups continue to steer government toward their ideological ends, co-opting Alaska\u2019s representative republic in the process. None of this is organic; it\u2019s the result of calculated pressure from groups that have little concern for Alaskans but plenty of appetite for power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Renewable Portfolio Standard is back on the agenda in Alaska for the third<\/em> time. Gov. Mike Dunleavy backed the original version in 2022, and now Republicans are out of the majority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Renewable Portfolio Standard #3<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAn Act relating to generation of electricity from renewable energy resources; relating to a renewable portfolio standard; relating to power cost equalization; and providing for an effective date\u201d (House Bill 153<\/a>) was introduced by Rep. Ky Holland (I-Anchorage) on March 24, 2025. Per his presentation<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

An RPS is a requirement on retail electric suppliers\u2026 to supply a minimum percentage or amount of their retail load\u2026 with eligible sources of renewable energy. HB 153 sets the following targets: 40 percent by 2030, 55 percent by 2035. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The 2023<\/a> RPS proposes 25 percent by 2027, 55 percent by 2035, and 80 percent by 2040. Currently, the Railbelt (the grid serving 85 percent of Alaska\u2019s load) is only at 15 percent renewable. Hydropower dominates, suppling ~90 percent of the renewable electricity statewide in 2023<\/a>. According to the sponsor, 40 percent by 2030 from 15 percent today is \u201cmodest,\u201d and 55 percent is a \u201crealistic\u201d cap.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the legislation allows for hydropower, activists<\/a> behind the bill have simultaneously called for the removal<\/a> of the Eklutna Dam, which provides about 14 percent of the Railbelt\u2019s total renewable share. With that, it becomes obvious what sources the co-ops will be forced to adopt: intermittent sources like wind and solar<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

House Bill 153: Problems Aplenty<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then-candidate Holland was provided<\/a> with information on just how unreliable wind can be when Alaskans need it the most. During the 2024 cold snap, wind at Fire Island fell to zero for a prolonged period, with the average at just 20.3 percent for the week\u2014100 percent unreliable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The legislation penalizes member-owned co-ops who fail to meet the targets with fines of $45\/MWh, adjusted annually for inflation. The fine, as proposed in 2023, was $20\/MWh, and while co-ops couldn\u2019t technically recover it through rates, there was no realistic way for them to pay it otherwise. But this<\/em> bill is completely different, and they don\u2019t even try to hide it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When asked by committee member Rep. George Rauscher about who pays the price, Shaina Kilcoyne, Holland\u2019s staffer, admitted<\/a> that \u201cultimately the ratepayer would pay.\u201d  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a larger scale scenario, such as a hospital using 10,000-15,000 MWh\/year, the fines at a 20 percent shortfall would be more than $100k annually. For residential homes, it is in the hundreds of dollars, and it only escalates for both as the push to electrify<\/a> everything\u2014heat pumps, EVs, public transit, industrial process heat. This does not include the intermittency factor or the higher cost of renewables themselves that the co-ops will undoubtedly need to increase your base rates to account for. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This proposal includes Renewable Energy Credits, a pseudo carbon tax wherein co-ops buy credits instead of building renewable projects; a wind-energy bonus multiplier of 1.25x for large projects; and a Fine reinvestment option to force renewable projects. This is a mandated energy transformation<\/em> with sharp, big sticks aimed directly at ratepayers\u2019 wallets. It locks Alaskans into unreliable and politically favored renewables, whether the market (or the people) like it or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Activists, Operatives, Dark Money<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The credit for the RPS legislation this round goes to staffer Kilcoyne, who presented the sectional analysis to the House Energy Committee on April 1, 2024<\/a>. Kilcoyne co-led the implementation of the Anchorage Climate Action Plan<\/a> under Mayor Ethan Berkowitz. She is listed<\/a> as the Energy Transition Program Director for the Alaska Venture Fund. Alaska Venture Fund is a project<\/a> of the New Venture Fund, the flagship nonprofit of the many organizations managed by Arabella Advisors. The Alaska project received $10 million in 2021<\/a> from the Bezos Earth Fund<\/a> to advance former President Joe Biden\u2019s unconstitutional Justice40<\/a> in Alaska.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No surprise, the same old cheerleaders for past RPS bills were invited by the committee for testimony. This included blogger<\/a> Erin McKittrick who is on the board of REAP and the Chief Energy Officer from Hawaii<\/a>, plus one new recruit: Alaska Public Interest Research Group, AKPIRG<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AKPIRG claims to be Alaska\u2019s only non-governmental, nonpartisan consumer advocacy group- yet they testified<\/a> in support of the RPS. Hard to imagine a bigger hypocrisy: backing a policy that punishes ratepayers and consumers. The claim of nonpartisanship made during testimony, as well as in the written presentation, is especially interesting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The presenter, Energy Lead Natalie Kiley-Bergen, is a registered Democrat. Their website dons a land acknowledgment and states that they use the Jemez Principles<\/a> for Democratic Organizing, used exclusively by anti-capitalist radical environmental justice groups that promote fossil fuel bans.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to their 2024<\/a> report, this \u201cnonpartisan\u201d group proudly celebrated a four-month sabbatical for their executive director and locked in a permanent four-day workweek, complete with a paid wellness day every single week. Apparently, dismantling the economy is exhausting work, even for the nonpartisan crowd. Proudly displayed in their 2024 annual report is the list of donors, the typical blend of left-wing policy, climate, and electoral influence networks. The climate and energy transition funders include the 11th Hour Project, Hopewell Fund and Tortuga Foundation. The Hopewell Fund is also part of the Arabella Advisors network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grand Deception<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For years, Alaska\u2019s RPS was pushed by activists and policymakers as a solution to climate change. But as skepticism has grown\u2014especially during the Trump administration, which is now actively pulling the rug out from under the climate agenda and slashing Green New Deal funding\u2014the same players have simply shifted tactics. With the climate narrative losing traction in Alaska, they\u2019re now repackaging the RPS as a response to dwindling Cook Inlet gas reserves and the supposed threat of expensive gas imports. Biden\u2019s U.S. Department of Energy helped<\/a> them with that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s the same mandate, just a new fear campaign, swapping the \u201cclimate crisis\u201d for a \u201cgas crisis\u201d to force through costly, unreliable energy policies driven by far-left climate NGOs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the trap of an \u201call of the above\u201d energy approach. Dunleavy has repeated this mantra multiple times. This approach is an excuse for doing a little bit of everything and none of it well<\/em>. Enormous amounts of state resources and effort were poured into Energy Security Task Forces and Sustainable Energy Conferences. There was even a technical committee stood up by former Anchorage Mayor Dave Bronson to advise the Southcentral Alaska Mayors on the gas crisis. A report on their investigations has yet to be issued. The net result for Alaska is centralized planning, green banks, carbon capture and RPS mandates designed to force wind and solar onto the grid. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alaska needs leadership that stops hiding behind \u201call of the above\u201d and moves to all of the sensible<\/a> instead. Last September, I suggested<\/a> an RPS<\/a> to Holland when he was running for office, a Reliable Portfolio Standard. But here he is now, pushing the complete opposite\u2014backing a policy that guarantees unreliability and skyrocketing costs. Alaska deserves power that works, not politics that don\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HB 153 Hearing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Public testimony on HB 153 was held April 10. Public testimony clearly rejected the RPS. Ratepayers came out in force, and most speakers were firmly against. Everyday Alaskans made it clear they don\u2019t want unreliable energy forced on our grid. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, nearly all the support of the RPS came from those set to financially profit from the bill, led by Chris Rose<\/a> of Renewable Energy Alaska Project<\/a> (REAP), who conveniently got over three minutes to make his pitch compared to our two. It was heartening to see the citizens do so well against the 15-staffed REAP and other government and Left environmental organizations out to have Big Brother implement bad energy policies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Looking Ahead<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The Committee claimed there will be more hearings next week, but nothing is scheduled yet. The bill still has to move through House Resources and House Finance after Energy. Unfortunately, those committees are dominated by Leftists, and with the majority lost in 2024, the bill is likely to pass. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The thin hope is that the governor feels the heat given Trump\u2019s latest executive orders. Signing the bill would be political suicide given the replacement of the Biden regime. But we know Dunleavy\u2019s game \u2014 if he doesn\u2019t veto, and simply lets it sit for 20 days, it becomes law quietly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The governor has the Sustainable Energy Conference<\/a> at the end of legislative session for a reason, and Shaina Kilcoyne, who carried this bill, is a speaker (coincidence?).  Alex Epstein and Daniel Turner are featured speakers as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One very important point raised in testimony:  Rep. Holland is a conflicted lawmaker. He\u2019s a founding member of Alaska Version 3<\/a>, an organization dedicated to moving Alaska away from its oil economy and into renewable mandates. As they put it in 2021:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Ky wanted to start a conversation about Alaska\u2019s future\u2026. Recognizing that its oil economy has beneficially driven state growth, but is now in a mature state and can no longer sustain us. What comes next?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The answer, clearly, is this bill \u2014 and it serves his ideological agenda<\/a>, not Alaska\u2019s energy security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
