Southeast Alaska Power Agency (SEAPA) is a wholesale electric provider that delivers clean, reliable, and low-cost wholesale power to member utilities in Southeast Alaska. As a joint action agency authorized under Alaska State law, SEAPA operates and manages power projects, generation facilities, and transmission facilities, with a focus on hydroelectric power. With two hydroelectric facilities, Swan Lake and Tyee Lake, interconnected by the Swan-Tyee Intertie, SEAPA harnesses the abundant water resources of Alaska to provide sustainable energy solutions to the communities it serves.
SEAPA's history dates back to the 1970s when the City of Ketchikan recognized the need for a hydro dam to replace expensive diesel power. With the support of the State of Alaska, SEAPA successfully developed four hydroelectric projects between 1982 and 1985, including Swan Lake and Tyee Lake. Today, SEAPA continues to prioritize the development of renewable energy projects and aims to tap into Southeast Alaska's substantial hydroelectric potential to further reduce reliance on diesel generation and promote a greener future.
