The Fairbanks plant, located in Fairbanks North Star County, Alaska, has a total capacity of 42.2 MW. The plant began operating in 1970 and is owned and operated by Golden Valley Electric Association Inc. It utilizes petroleum liquids, specifically DFO (distillate fuel oil), as its primary fuel source. The facility consists of four generators using "Petroleum Liquids" technology.
In the most recent year with available data, the Fairbanks plant generated 8,710 MWh of electricity, resulting in a capacity factor of 2.4%. The plant operates outside of any organized balancing authority (No BA). Fairbanks holds a notable position within Alaska's power generation landscape, ranking as the 3rd largest out of 95 plants in the state. Nationally, it is ranked 115 out of 886 plants.

This plant is in a bilateral market territory without organized wholesale pricing. Nodal pricing data is not available.
No wholesale contracts disclosed in FERC EQR for this plant.
FERC EQR captures bilateral wholesale energy + capacity contracts ≥$1M/yr filed quarterly by jurisdictional sellers — covers renewable PPAs, thermal energy sales agreements, capacity contracts, and tolling agreements alike. Many plants don't appear: regulated-utility output flows to ratepayers via cost-of-service rather than bilateral contracts; small projects fall below the filing threshold; tax-equity-financed renewables route offtake to investors not utilities; merchant plants sell into ISO clearing markets without bilateral contracts. News-extracted buyer facts (below) may surface contracts disclosed only through announcements.
