BARRIERS TO HIGH RENEWABLE DEVELOPMENT? Regulatory/Legislative:
• Power Cost Equalization (PCE) adjustments • Renewable Energy Fund (REF) & Emerging Energy
Technology Fund (EETF) adjustments • Regulatory Commission of Alaska – Legislative issues
• Thermal sales – RCA regulation • Electric utility – RCA regulation • Preferred (higher) capital cost recovery for renewables
• State/Federal tax credits, incentives, uncertainty • Correct above issues and private investment will flow
