Regulatory Commission of Alaska: Notice of Utility Tariff Filing (G&K)

Department of Commerce, Community, and Economic Development · Notice #225778

What is this notice about?

G & K, Inc., a utility, has asked the Regulatory Commission of Alaska (RCA) to approve a change to how it estimates fuel and purchased power costs in its Cost of Power Adjustment (COPA), a charge that passes these costs on to customers. G&K would still base estimates on how much power was used in the same three months of the prior year, but would use a projected monthly cost per unit if known, or otherwise the most recent cost per unit. The public can comment until 5:00 p.m. on November 19, 2026.

Why was this notice issued?

G & K, Inc. filed tariff filing TA209-88 asking the Commission to approve a revision to its Cost of Power Adjustment methodology. The Commission must give public notice of utility tariff filings.

What action is being taken?

The Regulatory Commission of Alaska is reviewing G&K's proposed change to how it projects fuel and purchased power costs and is accepting public comments. The notice does not list every requested revision, and the Commission may approve a rate or classification different from what G&K proposed.

Who is involved: G & K, Inc. (G&K); its customers

How can the public respond?

Respond by Thu, Nov 19, 2026 11 days from today.

“5:00 p.m. on November 19, 2026”
