Alaska sits outside EIA's weekly residential propane price survey. For a current price quote, contact local suppliers directly or check the US Energy Information Administration's regional price data for Washington and Oregon, the nearest surveyed states. The Mont Belvieu wholesale benchmark and PADD 5 (West Coast) inventory context on this page offer broader market context, but Alaska's delivered costs reflect local supply chains, transportation and market structure that the national survey does not capture.

Alaska is outside EIA's weekly residential propane price survey and carries no public weekly price series, so this page tracks regional supply context and directs readers to local market sources for a quote.
About Alaska propane
EIA does not run a weekly residential propane price survey in Alaska, so there is no public weekly price series to report here. Its State Heating Oil and Propane Program covers 38 states during the October-March heating season; the states left out are mostly across the Pacific and parts of the South. That is a gap in the public survey, not a gap in the market: Alaska homes still buy propane at prices set locally by delivered volume, tank arrangement, and the season.
The number this site can always show is the Mont Belvieu propane spot price, the national wholesale benchmark every US regional and delivered price is ultimately priced off of. EIA surveys no state's retail or wholesale propane price anywhere in the Rockies and West Coast region, so there is no regional price page to point to here the way there is for this state's counterparts elsewhere on the site; the Rockies and West Coast propane stocks page, tracked year-round, is the closest regional read EIA publishes.
For an actual delivered number, a reader should get a quote from two or three local dealers (price varies with tank size, delivery volume, and whether it is a will-call or keep-full arrangement) and can watch the nearest surveyed states below as a directional reference.
Once a local quote is in hand, the propane usage calculator will estimate your fill cost from it: tank size, gauge reading and how much the household burns, with the price per gallon entered by hand rather than pulled from a survey that does not cover Alaska.
Common questions
What is the current propane price in Alaska?
There is no published Alaska residential propane price. EIA's weekly survey covers 38 states and Alaska is not one of them, so the closest published numbers are the Rockies and West Coast propane stocks series and the national wholesale benchmark, the Mont Belvieu spot price. Both are regional or wholesale references rather than a Alaska delivered price: for that, get quotes from two or three local dealers.
Why is there no propane price for Alaska?
EIA's State Heating Oil and Propane Program is a voluntary weekly telephone survey of retail dealers, run October through March in 38 states chosen for propane heating volume. Alaska is outside that sample, which is a gap in the public survey rather than a gap in the market: Alaska households still buy propane at prices set locally by delivered volume, tank arrangement and season.
How can I estimate a propane fill cost in Alaska?
Get a price per gallon from a local dealer, then run it through the propane usage calculator: it turns tank size, gauge reading and household burn rate into a fill cost and an estimate of how long the tank should last.
