The Alaska Center for Energy and Power (ACEP) is an applied energy research program based at the University of Alaska. ACEP was formed in January, 2008 with the goal of meeting Alaska's unique energy research needs, and operates under a private sector business model within the University system.

ACEP is a gateway for energy related activity at the University of Alaska. Working across campuses and pulling from the University's extensive resources and expertise, ACEP is interdisciplinary, needs-driven, and agile.

ACEP has also developed a wide range of partnerships outside the University at the local, state, national and international level to ensure research conducted through ACEP will be relevant, current and world class.
