A new report by UAF researchers shows the energy burden for Fairbanks North Star Borough (FNSB) residents to be drastically higher than the Lower 48.

Energy burden, as defined in this report, is the percentage of annual income spent on residential energy services such as space heating and electricity.

Both energy consumption and expenditures in Alaska are the highest in the nation, according to the US Energy Information Administration’s Energy Atlas. The energy cost in the FNSB is the highest in the Railbelt, the electrical grid that stretches from Fairbanks through Anchorage to the Kenai Peninsula.
