## Welcome  {#welcome .unnumbered}

This report summarizes electricity data gathered from federal, state, and utility sources. It provides an overview of electricity capacity, generation, consumption, and price trends from 2011 to 2021. A comprehensive report highlighting these trends has not been produced for the state of Alaska since 2013's _Alaska Energy Statistics Report_. It is available in two formats: as a PDF and as a digital "web book".

The web book is designed as 'best available' document for the 2011-2021 energy trends data and reports. This website will be updated when updates to the underlying 2011-2021 data or fixes become available. Future year trends reports will be tackled in a different context and reporting structure.

Please explore the data using the chapter navigation links in the left sidebar and the section navigation links in the right sidebar.
