Building Alaska’s Energy Future: Affordable, Reliable, and Locally Powered
Alaska has always been a great proving ground for innovation.
Our unique environment puts technologies to the test like nowhere else on Earth. From pioneering telecommunications in the 1970s to advancing oil development in the 1980s, Alaskans have led the way. Now it’s time to apply that same ingenuity to the technologies of the 21st century, ensuring affordable energy, strong local economies, and opportunities for every community in Alaska.
AS GOVERNOR, I WILL
Lower energy costs for families and businesses by supporting local renewable energy projects that complement existing oil, gas, and hydro resources.
Build Alaska’s workforce by working with schools, universities, and local governments to prepare Alaskans for careers in energy and energy related services.
Invest in energy storage and hydrogen innovation so Alaska can lead in next-generation energy technology and export our expertise worldwide.
Fully capitalize and deploy the Alaska Sustainable Energy Corporation to ensure that energy innovation comes not at a cost to Alaskans, but as a solution to escalating energy prices.
Expand high-speed internet and satellite connectivity, so every Alaskan - urban and rural - can participate in the global economy.
Explore the full details behind Tom’s energy vision.
Alaskans are tired of high and rising energy bills in one of the world’s richest energy states.
I believe the solutions will come from Alaskans themselves - working together, innovating, and putting our resources to work for our people.
I want to hear your ideas, and together we can build an affordable, independent energy future for Alaska.
As a member of the State Senate, Tom Begich co-founded the Innovation Caucus, served on the World Trade Committee, and introduced legislation that helped strengthen Alaska’s commitment to affordable alternative energy.
That same vision underscores his approach to building a resilient economic base for Alaska and our communities.
As the owner of CW Communications and a strategic consultant, Tom has worked to strengthen the economies of Alaska’s communities and community-serving organizations, helping with community planning from the Northwest Arctic Borough to Ketchikan, and from Akiachak to Anchorage.
