Opinion: Data centers on our terms— let’s write the Mat-Su Data Center Plan together

First published on the author’s personal Substack, November 11, 2026. Data centers are coming to Alaska, and the Mat-Su is near the front of the line. In March the Borough Assembly put borough staff to work marketing land near Port MacKenzie, Big Lake and the West Susitna corridor for a coal developer looking for a data center customer. In late May that same developer leased 829 acres of University of Alaska land inside the borough’s own port district. On Nov. 10 the state approved handing about 6,800 acres near Houston to AIDEA for an industrial district that could include data centers. A day earlier, the governor announced a new AIDEA company built to put state money into data centers and eventually sell stakes in them to Alaskans.

Born At A Dance, Alaska’s Oldest Electric Co-Op Is Rewiring Its Fastest-Growing Region

In 1937, the farm families of the Matanuska Valley colony near Palmer, Alaska, wanted electric lights. Dr. C. Earle Albrecht, the colony doctor, wrote to the Rural Electrification Administration (REA) for help. The agency agreed to consider the request, but only if the colony could first provide “an accurate report and survey showing that adequate and constant power can be made available.” To pay for the survey, the community held the Electric Ball at the Palmer community hall under the slogan “Dance your way to electric lights.” The event raised $150, enough to fund an 18-page survey, and the REA approved a $140,000 loan.
