Students from across Anchorage had the chance to tour Chugach’s two power plants as part of the Power Pledge Challenge. Leola Rutherford’s 6th grade students from Girdwood School toured Chugach’s Southcentral Power Project as the 2022 statewide winner. Ian Dickson’s 7th and 8th graders from Northern Lights ABC School toured Sullivan Plant 2A as the Anchorage winner.
More than 1,200 Kindergarten through 12th grade students from 22 schools around the state participated in the Challenge this year. Classes had the opportunity to complete monthly and year-long challenges from September 2021 to March 2022. The Power Pledge Challenge is an initiative from AK EnergySmart aimed at helping youth better understand energy use. Students complete projects to earn monthly prizes and accumulate points throughout the year for a chance to win regional and state prizes.
