The enclosed report covers fiscal year 2025 (July 1, 2024-June 30, 2025). Established in 1984, the PCE program provides essential economic assistance to rural Alaskans by helping offset the high cost of electricity in remote communities. AEA administers the program in coordination with the Regulatory Commission of Alaska (RCA), serving more than 81,000 residents in 188 remote communities statewide. The PCE program reduces electric rates for eligible rural consumers to levels comparable to those paid in Anchorage, Fairbanks, and Juneau. Participating utilities receive reimbursement for credits applied to eligible residential and community facility customers. Residential customers may receive PCE credit for up to 750-kilowatt hours (kWhs) per month. Community facilities may receive credit for up to 70 kWhs per month multiplied by the community population, as determined by the Alaska Department of Commerce, Community, and Economic Development. Utilities submit monthly reports, customer ledgers, and invoices to support reimbursement. AEA carefully reviews each submission for accuracy and compliance before issuing payments based on rates calculated by the RCA. This oversight reflects AEA’s commitment to responsible stewardship and program integrity. In the fiscal year 2025, endowment earnings supported payments at 100 percent, resulting in approximately $46 million in program disbursements to participating utilities. This report is available on AEA’s website at akenergyauthority.org/pce. Additional copies may be requested by emailing pce@akenergyauthority.org. Regards, Curtis W.

years may differ from prior year reports due to data adjustments made after the publication went to print. Data for this fiscal year reflects monthly PCE reports that have been processed prior to publication This publication reporting on the statistics and operations of the PCE program as administered by the Alaska Energy Authority is submitted in accordance with Alaska Statute (AS) 44.83.940. AEA printed 50 copies of this report in Anchorage, Alaska for $16.89 per copy. Design and production by AEA. Printing and binding completed by Service Business Printing. HIGHLIGHTS OF THE POWER COST EQUALIZATION PROGRAM Eligibility Utility An electric utility participating in the Power Cost Equalization Program (PCE) must: a)provide electric service to the public for compensation; b) during calendar year 1983, had less than 7,500 megawatt hours of residential consumption or less than 15,000 megawatt hours if two or more communities were served; and c) during calendar year 1984, the utility has used diesel-fired generators to produce more than 75% of its electrical consumption. Customers Customer eligibility is based on actual power purchased. State and federal offices/facilities, commercial customers and public schools are excluded from PCE. Residential customers are eligible for PCE credit up to 750 kilowatt-hours (kWh/s) per month. Community facilities, as a group, can receive PCE credit for up to 70 kilowatt-hours per month multiplied by the number of residents in a community. Formula Used to determine PCE level/kWh for a utility: Formula: 95% of the eligible costs per kWh between 19.92 cents/kWh, “the base rate” and $1.00/kWh, “the ceiling”. Costs below 19.92 cents/kWh and above $1.00/kWh are not eligible for PCE. If the eligible costs are $1.00/kWh or more, the maximum PCE level is 76.08 cents/kWh. ($1.00 – 19.92 cents = 80.08 cents x 95% = 76.08 cents). A participating utility must meet generation efficiency and line loss standards; otherwise, the PCE level is reduced to reflect those standards. Process The Regulatory Commission of Alaska (RCA) RCA determines the PCE level per kWh for each utility. Two categories of costs are used in determining the PCE level: a) fuel expenses: the cost of fuel, including transportation of fuel; and b) non-fuel expenses: salaries, insurance, taxes, power plant parts and supplies, interest and other reasonable costs. The Alaska Energy Authority (AEA) Eligible utilities submit monthly reports to AEA that document the eligible power sold and PCE credits applied to eligible customers’ bills. AEA calculates the amount of PCE monthly and issues payment to the utility. AEA verifies the eligibility of customers and of community facilities. In addition, AEA calculates the required pro-rated PCE levels based on available funds. Authority PCE is governed by Alaska Statutes 42.45.110-170, and by the Alaska Administrative Code 3 AAC 107.200-270 and 3 AAC 52.600-690. 8 of 183 FISCAL YEAR 2024 See (8) FISCAL YEAR 2025 % Change 2024-2025% See (5) PARTICIPATION STATISTICS Population Served 80,809 80,337 -0.6% Communities Served 187 186 -0.5% Participating Utilities 82 81 -1.2% Total Residential Customers (2)27,947 27,983 0.1% Total Community Facility Customers (2)1,936 1,936 0.0% Total Customer (Residential & Community Facilities) (1) (2)29,883 29,919 0.1% PRODUCTION STATISTICS Total Diesel Generation (kWh)404,399,549 404,152,403 -0.1% Total "Other" (Hydro/Wind/Solar/Natural Gas) Generation (kWh)61,016,685 46,312,949 -24.1% Total Purchased Power (kWh)59,029,356 59,378,131 0.6% Total kWh Sold (All Customers) (7)470,276,352 459,290,484 -2.3% PCE Eligible Residential kWh 114,254,070 112,004,169 -2.0% PCE Eligible Community kWh 36,594,327 36,468,120 -0.3% Total PCE Eligible - Community Facilities & Residential 150,848,397 148,472,289 -1.6% Total PCE Eligible kWh Shown as Percent of Total kWh Sold 32.1%32.3%0.8% Average Monthly PCE Eligible kWh - Residential Customers (3)341 334 -2.1% Average Monthly PCE Eligible kWh - Community Facilities (3)1,575 1,570 -0.3% Average Monthly PCE Eligible kWh - Community Facilities / Per Resident (3)38 38 0.2% FINANCIAL STATISTICS Average Price of Fuel Oil ($/gallon)4.2280 4.3070 1.9% Total Fuel Oil Consumed (gallons)28,641,210 27,563,347 -3.8% Total Cost of Fuel Oil Purchased by the Utilities ($)121,094,201 118,715,283 -2.0% Total Non-Fuel Expenses ($) (5)106,556,039 109,199,797 2.5% Non-Fuel Expenses per Total kWh Sold ($) (5)0.2266 0.2378 4.9% Total Operating Costs per kWh ($) Sold (4)0.4841 0.4962 2.5% PCE Legislative Funding Appropriations for Utility Payments 47,694,800 47,694,800 0.0% Total Monthly Reports/PCE Reimbursements to Utilities Processed (6)45,218,690 46,896,190 3.7% (4) "Operating" costs include both fuel and non-fuel expenses.
