Eklutna Hydro Project: FAQ
- Where is Eklutna Hydro Project?
- In Matanuska Susitna County, Alaska (AK). The map on this page is placed at the coordinates EIA files for the plant, which locate the site rather than any individual unit.
- How big is Eklutna Hydro Project?
- 44 MW of nameplate capacity across 2 units, as of the EIA-860M release for 2026-07.
- Who owns Eklutna Hydro Project?
- EIA-860M names Chugach Electric Assn Inc as the reporting entity. That is the operator of record on the survey, which is not always the ultimate owner.
- Is this the same as Eklutna Hydro Project LLC?
- Probably, but EIA-860M does not say. The survey records a plant name and a reporting entity — Chugach Electric Assn Inc here — not the project company that holds the asset. Project companies are commonly registered as an LLC carrying the plant's name, so a search for "Eklutna Hydro Project LLC" usually means this site. This page shows only what EIA files, and does not assert a corporate structure it cannot see.
- Is Eklutna Hydro Project still running?
