It is based in Anchorage and is owned by the communities it serves, delivering reliable electricity as its core service. The cooperative operates within the utilities sector and adheres to a set of values centered on honesty, integrity, dignity, and fulfilling commitments. Among its recent developments, AVEC announced in January 2024 the appointment of Sam Collins to lead its expansion into New Zealand. The move reflects a strategic step to extend the cooperative's footprint beyond Alaska while continuing to serve rural Alaska communities.
