Chevak is powered by four 30-meter-tall wind turbines. The wind generated in Chevak is classified as "Class 6 – Outstanding", and is owned and operated by AVEC ([[Alaska Villages Electric Cooperative]]).<ref name="Wind Resource Assesment">{{cite web|url=http://www.aidea.org/aea/PDF%20files/Wind%20Resource%20Assessment/Chevak_wind-data-report.pdf|title=Wind Resource Assessment|publisher=Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority|date=May 8, 2006|access-date=September 13, 2010|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110723114710/http://www.aidea.org/aea/PDF%20files/Wind%20Resource%20Assessment/Chevak_wind-data-report.pdf|archive-date=July 23, 2011}}</ref>

In addition, electrical power is supplied by four diesel generators capable of supplying up to a combined 1828 [[kilowatts]] of electricity year-round, with the tank farm storing up to 302,000 gallons of diesel fuel. This, in addition to the 400 kilowatts generated by the wind turbines, gives Chevak’s electrical grid a total capacity of 2228 kilowatts.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://avec.org/about/communities/chevak-aka-kashunamiut/ | title=Chevak (CHEE-vack); a.k.a.

As of 2022, all buildings in Chevak have running water and piped sewage, supported by a central water treatment facility built in 1984, and a central wastewater treatment plant built in 2001. An outage, due to the old school fire in 2021, affected service to the eastern half of Chevak, with many residents forced to resort back to [[Bucket toilet|honey buckets]] as toilets.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.anthc.org/news/community-profile-chevak-promotes-healthy-sustainable-water-utilities-through-partnership-with-aruc/ | title=Community profile: Chevak promotes healthy, sustainable water utilities through partnership with ARUC | date=June 9, 2017 }}</ref>
