An updated public energy data resource in Alaska is changing the way Alaskans learn about community energy systems.

Alaska Energy Data Gateway 3.0 launched as a result of a collaboration between the University of Alaska Anchorage and the ¹û½´ÊÓÆµ Alaska Center for Energy and Power.

For years, the , or AEDG, was a key resource for reliable energy data for the public. However, outdated data and funding cuts left it in need of an upgrade.

With a redesigned platform, AEDG 3.0 offers updated energy data through 2021, making it easier for Alaskans — from local energy leaders to teachers, researchers and policymakers — to plan and make informed decisions about energy use, costs and infrastructure.

Communities and servies areas
Users can select communities and services areas to explore how they stay powered.

The new AEDG is built with simplicity in mind, responding directly to feedback from a wide range of users, including local energy leaders, state agencies, utility operators, energy non-profits and educators.

Key features of AEDG 3.0 include:

  • Community energy summaries: Clear, visual data on local energy costs, sources and infrastructure.
  • Streamlined navigation: A user-friendly interface that allows anyone — from policymakers to students — to quickly find the data they need.
  • Updated datasets: Reliable, current data with a smoother pipeline for future updates.

Beyond just a database, AEDG 3.0 is a tool to empower communities, guiding decisions on energy resilience, affordability and sustainability. As energy needs evolve, this new platform will be a vital resource for Alaskans making decisions that shape their energy future.
