Aurora Energy

March 20, 2004 - Aurora Energy recently announced their intention to raise rates. And raise them, they did. Check the RCA website to read the gory details.

Fairbanks Natural Gas

An interesting concept to import gas by truck from Anchorage and supply it to homes and businesses here. They did have a problem with supply, with reduced supply in the Kenai. One can check the RCA website for further info. We'll see if Alaska ever gets a gasline from Prudhoe Bay and these folks will be well situated.

Regulatory Commission of Alaska

Current notices and orders on rates and other utility tariff changes are published by the Regulatory Commission of Alaska, a division of the Alaska State Department of Community and Economic Development.
