AEA is pleased to report that all REF Round 13 projects as recommended to the Legislature by AEA, in consultation with the REFAC, were fully funded with the passage and signing into law of House Bill 3003 in September 2021. A total legislative appropriation of $4.75 million, funding 11 REF projects was enacted. AEA is grateful to the Legislature for their recognition of the REF’s efficacy in promoting, and provided needed financial support for the development of viable renewable energy projects throughout all regions of the State. This appropriation will support the development of renewable energy projects across multiple project phases, and communities from the Aleutians to the Northwest Arctic will benefit.
