Notice of Application to Amend Utility Certificate

The REGULATORY COMMISSION OF ALASKA (Commission) gives notice that on January 17, 2025, Unified Alaskan Utilities (UAU) filed an application to amend Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (Certificate) No. 730. UAU proposes to expand its service area in Chugiak, Alaska to include Meadow Ridge Estates Subdivision and the Meadow Ridge Estates North Addition Subdivision. Docket No. U-25-002 was opened to address this matter.

No motions for waiver or petitions for confidentiality were filed with UAU’s application. The Commission has not assessed the completeness of the application. The Commission may determine whether the application is complete by February 10, 2025.

A person who proposes to file an application to furnish the same, or substantially the same, service or facility to essentially the same service area or route, in whole or in part, thus creating the potential for mutually exclusive applications must file a notice of intent to file a competing application by February 26, 2025. The person must then file the competing application by April 28, 2025. If no notice of intent to file a competing application is filed by February 26, 2025, the Commission will proceed to grant or deny the application filed by UAU.

You may obtain more information about the application by contacting Stephen Kranich, Regulatory Analyst for UAU, at PO Box 233368, Anchorage, AK, 99523; phone: (907) 222-4084.
