Nearly 60,000 Matanuska Electric members have a blackout group for this winter. MEA won't tell them which one until the plan is activated.

The plan covers homes from Eagle River to Talkeetna. Members sit in nine groups. If gas runs short in a cold snap, each group loses power for 30 to 45 minutes, then waits its turn to lose it again. MEA's CEO explained the half-hour this summer: it matches a heating cycle.

MEA calls outages a last resort. It says it has secured its own gas. Chugach Electric plans no blackouts.

The shortage sits upstream with Enstar, which heats most of Southcentral. Enstar has said it could start the winter 3 billion cubic feet short. That is about 18 days of gas. Last winter's cold drained storage. Gas one producer expected by September never came.

If Enstar runs low, MEA switches its Eklutna plant to diesel so the gas can go to home furnaces. Diesel costs more. The difference lands on members' bills.

Southcentral buys its gas from one basin. A few companies pull it out. A state commission approves the contracts, the storage, and the rates. This summer the commission turned down an Enstar request that could have opened new storage.

Hilcorp, the basin's main producer, says Cook Inlet is not out of gas. It is out of cheap gas.

In 2010, lawmakers passed the Cook Inlet Recovery Act to head off the last gas shortage in Southcentral. In July, the Legislature opened its third special session on a North Slope gas line.

One basin. A few sellers. A commission that must say yes before new gas moves.

Government should neither prop up nor block any source of energy. When every well, tank, and contract waits on approval, supply moves at the speed of permission. Winter does not wait for permission.

Alaskans should be free to find, store, and buy their own energy. A co-op belongs to its members. So does the right to know where they stand before the lights go out.

Every MEA member can ask the co-op for their group today. Share this with every Alaskan you know who heats with gas.
