Board Election
Robert Beans and Robert Hoffman won re-election to the AVEC board in results announced on April 8, 2020. The three Bylaw propositions were also adopted. Detailed results are posted on our website www.AVEC.org and on our Facebook page.
Pandemic update
Both AVEC offices in Bethel and Anchorage are closed to anyone other than AVEC staff in order to maintain social distancing per state mandates. We are, however, open for business and are receiving phone calls, service requests, payments and all other normal activities remotely. Our field technicians are traveling to villages to respond to outages and other emergency needs and are abiding by state and local requirements to minimize contact with others.
Residential consumers who are experiencing financial hardship due to the COVID-19 pandemic can apply for a Deferred Payment Arrangement for as long as the state of emergency is in place. Details are on our website and forms are available via fax, email or to download.
These are difficult times for all of us and we are here for you, no matter what. Please stay safe.
