About Us
Alaska Village Electric Cooperative (AVEC) is a non-profit electric utility that provides power to rural communities across Alaska. Established to serve the unique needs of remote villages, AVEC plays a crucial role in delivering reliable electricity to areas that are often isolated and challenging to access. The cooperative model allows AVEC to focus on the needs of its member-owners, ensuring that local communities have a say in their energy solutions.
AVEC is committed to sustainability and has been actively working to integrate renewable energy sources into its power generation mix. The cooperative has invested in wind and solar projects to reduce reliance on diesel fuel, which is traditionally used in remote areas. These efforts not only help in reducing carbon emissions but also aim to lower energy costs for the communities served.
While AVEC has made strides in incorporating renewable energy, detailed ESG reports or comprehensive carbon footprint calculations are not widely available. However, the cooperative's initiatives in renewable energy projects demonstrate a commitment to environmental responsibility and sustainability. AVEC continues to explore innovative solutions to enhance energy efficiency and sustainability in the challenging Alaskan environment.
