Golden Valley Electric Association (GVEA) DCFC — EV fast-charging electricity cost

GVEA DCFC is the filed rate schedule ForgeAsset models for DC fast-charging sites in Golden Valley Electric Association territory in Alaska. Energy prices at 39.6¢/kWh flat; the demand side bills none (energy-only). For one reference Supercharger site held constant across the whole library, that works out to 44.4¢/kWh per dispensed kWh — rank 56 of 86 filed tariffs (1 = least expensive).

Modeled rates

Golden Valley Electric's fast-charging station class for Fairbanks: an energy-only rate with no demand line, billed at the interim level effective January 2026 plus the quarterly fuel and purchased power factor — the heaviest bundled energy rate in the library. The final order, due by February 2027, carries a proposed permanent rate about 2.6 cents higher, and the library re-derives at the order. The fuel factor resets quarterly.

The filed rate book for this territory records no EV-specific commercial rate, so the modeled cost is the standard schedule. Demand follows the model's conservative convention — 150 kW per stall billed every month, the worst-case coincident peak — so a site whose metered peak runs below that would see a lower demand line. This row is itself Golden Valley's DC fast-charging rate; the Fairbanks energy cost behind it is high on its own terms.

What the reference site pays here

Reference site: 8 Tesla V4 stalls at 235 kWh/stall/day (57,183 kWh dispensed per month), a 150kW per-stall demand assumption, the model's default time-of-use mix, and a 12% loss gross-up — identical to the full utility ranking, where this tariff sits at position 56 of 86.

The rest of the Alaska picture

The tariff is one layer. State taxes, incentives, clean-fuels programs, and the charging market shape the remainder — Tesla Supercharger ROI in Alaska covers them, and the US Supercharger Economics Map shows every US Supercharger over utility territories colored by this same effective-cost derivation.

Golden Valley Electric Association (GVEA) DCFC — questions

What does Golden Valley Electric Association (GVEA) charge for energy on DCFC?

The modeled rates are 39.6¢/kWh flat. At the model's default time-of-use mix (30% peak, 45% off-peak, 25% super-off-peak) that blends to 39.6¢/kWh.

Does DCFC carry a demand charge?

No separable demand charge is billed under the modeled structure — the cost sits in the energy rates instead.

What does electricity cost per kWh dispensed on this tariff?

For the reference site — 8 Tesla V4 stalls dispensing 235 kWh per stall per day, with a 12% loss gross-up — the all-in utility cost works out to 44.4¢/kWh per dispensed kWh, rank 56 of 86 tariffs in the library (1 = least expensive).
