"confidential treatment"   "Chugach Electric wanted to take advantage of a small producer tax credit created by the state"  "$10 million"

Now I don't have a problem with a utility wanting to save the customers money, however somethings just are not as clear as they should be.  Perhaps because things done in the dark of the night behind closed doors are seldom as good as they are advertised!

Chugach is going to borrow $$ to pay its share.  Meaning the members will pay it back plus interest.  ML&P will take $106,000,000 out of savings?  If they have that much laying around, it doesn't seem that the costs to the consumer have been as low as they could does it?  

But again, another backroom deal, done in a big hurry, to take advantage of a "State Credit".  Which means that all residents of the State are paying for this deal.
