The seven-member House Special Committee on Energy plans to visit Nome and Kotzebue this weekend and Bethel and Dillingham at the end of the month.

Committee co-chairwoman, Anchorage Republican Charisse Millett, says members will sit down with residents to talk about a statewide energy plan.

They also plan to visit wind farms in Nome and visit the tiny village of Noatak, which is said to have the highest energy costs in the Kotzebue region.

The Senate Energy committee plans to visit communities over the interim including Naknek and Chena as well as some North Slope and southeast Alaska villages.
