Statewide power generating capacity at the end of 1982 totaled over 2.1 million kilowatts of which 67% was in the utility sector. Net production of electric energy totaled 5.7 billion kilowatt hours with 65% by the utility system. Total 1982 energy production was 8.9% above the prior year; energy produced by the utilities in 1982 was 13.1% above the prior year. Data presented in the report show large increases in 1982 in the Anchorage-Cook Inlet, Fairbanks, and Juneau areas as well as for many smaller utility systems. Generating plant additions in 1982 totaled 41 MW, or a 2% increase. Between 1979 and 1982, the share for natural gas increased from 55.9% to 59.1% while the share for oil dropped from 17.9% to 15.2%. The hydro share will increase somewhat in the near future with completion of the several projects in the State Power Authority program. Statewide averages for residential customers in 1982 was 6.7 cents per KWH, a 34% increase since 1979. Rates remain much higher for most smaller systems.
