2021 REF Recommendations

Thank you to all of those who applied for funding under REF Round 14. The Alaska Energy Authority (AEA) is pleased to report that with the passage of House Bill 281 in late June 2022, the 32nd Alaska State Legislature approved and appropriated $15 million, fully funding those 27 renewable energy projects as recommended by AEA. AEA would like to thank the Legislature for its continued recognition of the REF's efficacy in promoting the integration of renewable energy projects within the statewide energy portfolio, and its strong support of the REF program.
