2025 Spring Energy Speaker Series | A Renewable Portfolio Standard for Alaska's Railbelt

REAP was proud to partner with Alaska Common Ground in co-hosting this timely discussion with Alaskan energy policy experts on the topic of Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) legislation that has been introduced in both the Alaska State House and Senate. House Bill 153 and its companion bill, Senate Bill 149, would establish an RPS for Alaska’s Railbelt, requiring the region’s electric utilities to diversify their generation portfolios and generate an increasing percentage of their electricity from renewable sources over the coming years. REAP and its partners have been developing and advocating for Railbelt RPS legislation for more than three years, both in an effort to promote home-grown solutions to impending shortfalls in supply of Cook Inlet natural gas and to secure myriad benefits that would come from stimulating the development of an in-state renewable energy industry. For more on this years-long effort, visit REAP’s Railbelt RPS Initiative webpage here: https://alaskarenewableenergy.org/ini... We hope you enjoy this in-depth discussion regarding the pending RPS legislation. Our esteemed speakers covered the problems an RPS would solve and the benefits it would bring; the importance of passing it this session in order to help frame ongoing utility negotiations for gas import contracts; and how you can help promote the passage of this important policy solution.
