Unified Alaskan Utilities has applied to expand its electric service area in Wasilla to include Alliance Estates. The Regulatory Commission of Alaska opened Docket U-26-011 to review the request and is accepting public comments through 5:00 p.m. on May 6, 2026.

The utility filed its application on April 14, 2026, and is asking the commission to approve the expansion by June 15, 2026. The expansion would amend the company's Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity No. 730.

Anyone who wants to file a competing application to serve the same area must notify the commission by May 18, 2026, and submit the full application by July 14, 2026. If no competing applications are filed, the commission will proceed to approve or deny the request from Unified Alaskan Utilities.

The commission has not yet determined whether the application is complete. That decision may come by May 5, 2026.

Residents can review the full application at the commission's office at 701 West 8th Avenue, Suite 300, in Anchorage, or online at rca.alaska.gov by searching for Docket U-26-011. Comments can be submitted through the commission's website or mailed to the Anchorage office. All comments must reference Docket U-26-011 and include proof that a copy was sent to Stephen Kranich at Unified Alaskan Utilities, PO Box 233368, Anchorage, AK 99523.
