The REGULATORY COMMISSION OF ALASKA (Commission) gives notice that on March 2, 2026, 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 the Forest Park Mobile Home Park. Docket No. U-26-007 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 March 23, 2026.
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 April 6, 2026. The person must then file the competing application by June 3, 2026. If no notice of intent to file a competing application is filed by April 6, 2026, 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.
