Bradley Lake group seeks attorney for Railbelt grid case

The Bradley Project Management Committee is accepting proposals from attorneys or law firms to represent the group in a state regulatory case about the Railbelt power grid. The committee needs new legal counsel for its participation in Regulatory Commission of Alaska docket U-25-028.

The case addresses the proposed Railbelt Transmission Organization and its Open Access Transmission Tariff. The Bradley Project Management Committee is currently a party to the proceeding.

The Bradley Lake hydroelectric project, located on the Kenai Peninsula, provides power to Southcentral Alaska utilities. The project management committee oversees operations and represents the state-owned facility in regulatory matters.

The Railbelt Transmission Organization case involves how electricity transmission is managed across the grid connecting Fairbanks to the Kenai Peninsula. An open access tariff would set rules for how utilities and power generators use the transmission system.

The notice does not specify a deadline for attorney proposals or detail the scope of legal work required. Interested attorneys should contact the Bradley Project Management Committee through the state Department of Commerce, Community, and Economic Development.

The Regulatory Commission of Alaska regulates electric, telephone, and pipeline utilities in the state. Docket U-25-028 remains open before the commission.
