Allows electric cooperative utilities to include certain renewable energy costs in their rates.

The bill amends Alaska law to allow electric cooperative utilities to include in their rates costs incurred for new or purchased renewable energy facilities or battery energy storage systems with a capacity of less than 15,000 kilowatts. These costs must be approved by the utility's board of directors. The changes apply to utilities participating in an electric reliability organization certified by the Alaska Public Utilities Commission.
