Identify and evaluate community-based energy solutions
Collaborate with Indigenous and local partners to co-design viable infrastructure
Develop and disseminate evidence-based policy alternatives ahead of the 2026 legislative session
Science policy is built on transparency and ethical frameworks. The AR project will adhere to the Caltech Honor Code and respect local Indigenous sovereignty. Both have shaped my deep reverence for the cyclical nature of life and will ensure AR’s recommendations are both ethical and compassionate.
Local focus groups, surveys, and town halls—carried out with the consent and guidance of Indigenous leaders—will identify existing practices and needs. These assessments will provide the data necessary to craft responsive, region-specific energy solutions.
A digital and in-person network, The Alaska Regeneration Energy Network (AERN), will connect communities, researchers, policymakers, and advocates. AERN will share real-time findings, promote collaboration, and support a growing movement of Alaskans committed to meeting Alaska’s challenging energy infrastructure needs.
Findings will be communicated via social media, community updates, local journalism, and events. The Alaska Energy Infrastructure 2025 Report will deliver policy-ready insights to legislators and advocacy organizations, helping shape long-term energy infrastructure implementation in 2026.
Alaska is on the verge of energy collapse, threatening the very lights in family homes. The AEI project will ensure that energy solutions are rooted in community needs, Indigenous knowledge, and scientific evidence—helping build a sustainable future that works for all Alaskans.
AEI is actively seeking collaboration with tribal governments, nonprofits, universities, municipal leaders, and energy innovators. Join us in shaping an inclusive path forward to serve all of Alaska.
