Alaska spent about $46.9 million in fiscal year 2025 to keep electric bills low in some of the most remote parts of the country. That money went to 186 communities and covered 148.5 million kilowatt-hours (kWh) of eligible power, according to the Alaska Energy Authority's Power Cost Equalization Program Statistical Report FY2025. Fiscal year 2025 ran from July 1, 2024, to June 30, 2025. The program is called Power Cost Equalization, or PCE, and it began in 1984. The figures showed how much power bills can vary depending on where you live.
