OVERVIEW
Energy:
AP&T is well-known throughout Alaska for its proven success in renewable energy development. In the 1990s, AP&T successfully converted from 90% dependency on diesel-based generation of electricity to 75% clean, renewable energy in a period of 16 years, through development of new “low-impact” hydropower projects, providing its ratepayers with energy at a more affordable cost. The Company also owns and operates the largest utility-owned solar installation providing electricity in Alaska. AP&T’s conversion to renewables was accomplished in the absence of State, Federal, or local government requirements or mandates. AP&T made a strategic business decision that its customers’ needs would be best met, long term, through investment in conversion to renewables.
Data/Telecom:
With a clear understanding that the future of Telecom is Data-Centric, AP&T continues to build-out infrastructure vital to Alaskans connectivity needs. Completion of the 300+ mile SE Alaska Microwave Network in 1997 provided a terrestrial transport backbone spanning the length of Southeast Alaska. The 2016 completion of AP&T's 86-mile $11M Lynn Canal Undersea Fiber Project (linking the communities of Juneau, Haines and Skagway), further enlarging regional bandwith availability and opening the potential for the grow and expansion of data pathways northward into the Yukon Territory. As end-users appetite for bandwidth increases, AP&T is engaged in last-mile fiber to the home projects to better accomodate this growth as well.
