Homer Electric Association

Jim Duffield (District 1), Dan Green (District 2) and Jim Levine (District 3) were elected to the Homer Electric Association board of directors at the utility's annual member meeting last night.

The sale needed a 60% margin of votes to go through and failed by just seven votes. This is not the first time Homer Electric Association has unsuccessfully submitted a bid to buy city-owned Seward Electric Association.

As of Wednesday, the electric sale did not have more than 60% approval from voters — a threshold that kept a similar sale from passing in 2000.. The city will count the absentee votes it received tomorrow.

This May, voters in the city of Seward will decide or not to sell their city-run electric utility to Homer Electric Association. More details about that sale became public this week when the city council approved a purchasing agreement.

Voting in Homer Electric Association’s 2023 election opens Friday. This year, voters in each of HEA’s three districts will decide between two candidates for the co-op’s board of directors.

Seward voters will decide this spring whether they want to sell their city-run electrical utility to Homer Electric Association for a purchase price of about $25 million.

HEA members will elect three new directors to the co-op's board this spring.

The co-op is looking to the state fund for money to look into the feasibility of two projects — one wind project and one geothermal project.

Seward voters will decide in May 2023 whether to combine the utilities into a Kenai Peninsula-wide electric cooperative.
