Consider the Moorburg coal power plant near Hamburg. It came online in 2015 with around 1,650 to 1,700 megawatts of dependable baseload power. Building new clean coal generation, including in areas like West Susitna, would give Alaska the baseload power needed to support homes, businesses and industry. To make Alaska’s energy future secure, coal must stand alongside LNG, providing resilient reliable baseload power for infrastructure, industrial operations, and long-term energy security. We need practical, reality-based solutions: clean coal for baseload, renewables as supplements, and a strong partnership between coal and Alaska LNG.
