Oil-Fired Power Plants in Alaska: FAQ
- How many oil-fired power plants are in Alaska?
- 92, with 824 MW of nameplate capacity between them, spread over 25 counties. That is the EIA-860M operating count for 2026-07.
- Is there a map of Alaska oil-fired power plants?
- Yes — the map above. Each dot is one oil-fired power plant, sized by nameplate capacity and placed at the coordinates EIA files for it.
- Which is the largest oil-fired power plant in Alaska?
- North Pole, at 181 MW. The table is sorted largest first, so the rest follow it.
- Is there a oil-fired power plant near me in Alaska?
- The county roll-up below groups every plant by county, which is the quickest way to find the one closest to a given town.
- Which grid operator runs Alaska's oil-fired power plants?
- No single ISO or RTO covers most of them. EIA files each plant against its own balancing authority, which in Alaska is largely a vertically integrated utility rather than an organised market.
- How current is this, and what is left out?
- EIA-860M for 2026-07. Petroleum liquids and petroleum coke. Many are peakers or standby units. Plants below 1 MW are not surveyed by EIA and so are absent; retirements and additions after 2026-07 arrive with the next monthly release.
