ALASKA POWER ASSOCIATION MISSION STATEMENT & HISTORY MISSION STATEMENT The mission of Alaska Power Association is to assist our members in accomplishing their goals of delivering electric energy and other services at the best value to their consumers. HISTORY Electric cooperatives in Alaska joined together to form the Alaska Rural Electric Cooperative Association in 1952. Through the association’s advocacy and by sharing their resources, cooperatives pioneered electric service to many Alaska communities. Today, more than 90 percent of Alaskans receive their electricity from electric cooperatives or municipal utilities. In 1979, ARECA hired its first staff—an executive director—and began providing services that assist utility members with their goals of providing reliable service at the lowest reasonable cost. The trade association’s advocacy has focused on keeping electric rates affordable for consumers and strengthening Alaska’s energy systems. In 2003, ARECA changed its name to Alaska Power Association and has continued to advocate on behalf of the interests of its member utilities on current issues. The organization is governed by a board of directors composed of representatives from each of the member electric cooperatives, joint action agencies and municipal member utilities. Staff provides governmental representation, industry information, insurance, training and other services to member utilities and to Alaska Power Association’s sister organizations: ARECA Insurance Exchange (AIE); ARECA Educational Foundation, Inc. (AEF); and the ARECA Training Council, Inc. (ATC). 5 ALASKA POWER ASSOCIATION MEMBERSHIP BENEFITS For more than 66 years, Alaska Power Association has provided services to help its members—Alaska’s electric utilities—provide safe, reliable and affordable power to Alaskans.
