Alaska Power & Telephone Company provides energy and communication services to about 40 communities across Southeast Alaska, from the Arctic Circle to the region's southern tip. Based in Ketchikan, Alaska, the company serves households and businesses as a utility, delivering electricity and data connectivity. It has a long-standing commitment to renewable energy, moving away from diesel-generated power and deploying projects that increased the share of clean energy, including ownership of the largest utility-owned solar installation providing electricity in Alaska. In telecommunications, AP&T has built a data-centric backbone, with the SE Alaska Microwave Network completed in 1997 and the Lynn Canal undersea fiber link completed in 2016, expanding regional bandwidth and enabling broader data pathways northward. In 2024, the company expanded its presence by relocating its corporate headquarters to Ketchikan.
