Chugach attended the Anchorage Home Builders Home Show at the Alaska Airlines Center the weekend of April 20-21. Chugach employees had a great time interacting with the community and were happy to answer questions and talk about what's going on at Chugach. We are always pleased to get out in the community and connect with members.

Chugach is donating more than 1,600 pieces of computer equipment including desktop computers, monitors, computer arms, and laptops to the Anchorage School District (ASD).

As part of Chugach’s commitment to stay current with the latest technology to ensure security, efficiency, and productivity, we are investing in new computers and associated hardware. Recognizing the values of corporate responsibility and social impact, we are pleased local schools will be able to use the outgoing equipment. Contributing to the learning environment and empowering students with the necessary tools for their education, while ensuring Chugach has a safe and secure computer system, is a win-win for the cooperative and the community.

Chugach is continuing its tradition of supporting Alaska families over the holidays by donating 450 turkeys to ten local non-profits. For more than 20 years, Chugach has donated turkeys to local non-profits to fill the need for holiday meals throughout the local area. The turkeys are purchased from Carrs/Safeway and distributed by Chugach. The organizations receiving the turkeys this year include:

• Anchorage Gospel Rescue Mission
• Alaska Women’s Aid in Crisis (AWAIC)
• Bean’s Cafe
• Boys & Girls Club Alaska
• Catholic Social Services’ St. Francis House Food Pantry
• Covenant House Alaska
• Food Bank of Alaska
• Lutheran Social Services of Alaska
• New Hope Compassionate Ministries
• The Salvation Army Alaska’s McKinnell House

The electric utility industry is going through a major transformation in Alaska and around the world. Chugach is a leader in keeping up with those changes as we continue to evaluate new ways to generate electricity. This video looks at Chugach’s short-term plans and long-term vision as technological advances, particularly in energy storage, may be realized. As you will see, there are many options for moving forward during this historic energy transition.
