Duff Mitchell of Juneau Hydropower Inc. joins Cliff Dumas on KINY to discuss a major milestone—the company has been granted public utility status by the Regulatory Commission of Alaska. Mitchell outlines the decade-long journey of the Sweetheart Lake hydroelectric project, what this means for unserved areas of Juneau, clean energy access, job creation, and long-term economic benefits. He also explains how this will bolster energy security, reduce diesel reliance, and open new development opportunities across the region.
