A major project may require ten to twenty years for investigations, authorization and financing, licenses, land and easements, ordering and manufacturing time for equipment, construction, testing and debugging, and allowance for contingencies. At the end of this long lead time one hopes that the large investment has been made to optimum advantage toward providing the public with a reliable low cost supply of electric power with reasonable reserves, not too much and not too little. Good planning requires good statistics. Aside from the specific needs of the individual electric system, state- wide electric statistics can assist in developing general approaches or strategies for establishment of transmission grid systems and long distance interconnections or for anticipating probable industrial growth or special situations. This compilation of electric power statistics represents a modest beginning. However, it does not duplicate the valuable data available in FPC's Alaska Power Survey and other publications. This compilation begins with calendar year 1960 as the base year. It is a census year. It is the first full year of statehood. It is the first year for which statewide electric power statistics were compiled. Ten years of data, 1960 to 1969 inclusive, also serves to establish a base decade which will be rounded out when 1970 data becomes available. Already it is apparent that 1970 will have been Alaska's year for passing the billion kilowatthour mark for electric utility service to the public. From annual usage of 841 million kilowatthours in 1968, and 956 million in 1969, the projection for 1970 should run around 1,075 million kilowatt- hours. This amounts to more than three times the electricity use of 1960. By comparison, the national usage doubled. The dynamic character of the Alaska economy is suggested by the triple growth in electric power while the national usage doubles. The increased volume in Alaska usage statewide, as well as greater use per home, operates as a significant factor in reducing the cost per kilowatthour. The average residential price reduction from 4.32 cents per kilowatthour in 1960 to 3.13 cents amounts to a 27-1/2 percent saving to Mrs. Alaska Housewife, during a period when almost all other costs were rising.
