Alaska Power and Telephone Co
Average price is revenue divided by sales for the sector and year; it is not a tariff rate. Reliability figures are as reported by utilities to EIA on Form 861 and may use different calculation methods. Annual figures: Form EIA-861 for 2024, final release. Monthly state figures run to July 2026.
Alaska Power and Telephone Co is an investor-owned utility that reported 5,737 residential customers in Alaska on Form EIA-861 for 2024, with a service territory that touches 4 counties.
Its average residential price that year was 37.18¢ per kilowatthour, 50% above the Alaska average of 24.82¢ and 126% above the US average of 16.48¢. The figure is residential revenue divided by residential sales, so it folds in fixed charges, riders and every rate schedule the utility bills under.
That works out to an average residential bill of $151.02 a month on average use of 406 kWh a month. Across Alaska the average bill was $143.54 on 578 kWh, so a bill gap reflects how much power households use as well as what each kilowatthour costs.
For reliability it reported a SAIDI of 365.7 minutes per customer with major event days included, calculated under another method. The median among Alaska utilities reporting was 365.7 minutes with major event days; this utility's figure is about the same as that median.
The average price is up 22.9% on 2019, against up 8.3% for Alaska as a whole, and down 2.0% on 2023.

Sales by sector, 2024
| Sector | Customers | Sales | Share of sales | Revenue | ¢ per kWh, bundled |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Residential | 5,737 | 28 GWh | 36% | $10,397,000 | 37.18¢ |
| Commercial | 2,719 | 50.7 GWh | 64% | $15,878,000 | 31.31¢ |
Customers, sales and revenue count every service type the utility reported (bundled, energy-only and delivery-only). The price column uses bundled service alone, because part-bill revenue would understate it. Sources of energy: 86.9 GWh in total, of which 34.5% was its own net generation and 56.9 GWh was bought wholesale; summer peak demand 1 MW.
Reliability
Minutes of sustained interruption per customer in 2024, as the utility reported them under another method. SAIFI: 9.04 interruptions per customer with major event days; CAIDI 40.4 minutes per interruption. EIA's Alaska total across all reporting utilities was 327.1 minutes with major event days and 192.4 without. Major event days are storms and similar events that a utility's chosen method sets apart; methods differ, so treat comparisons as approximate. What SAIDI and SAIFI mean.

Generation at plants it operates, 2025
- Hydro 76.3% 60 GWh
- Petroleum 23.7% 18.6 GWh
Net generation of 78.6 GWh at power plants this utility operates, from Form EIA-923. It is not the mix delivered to customers: utilities also buy power wholesale (56.9 GWh in 2024), sell generation to others and may co-own plants that another company operates.
