The Alaska Energy Authority (AEA) is pleased to report that with the Governor’s approval of a Renewable Energy Fund (REF) Round 16 budget of $10.5 million in Senate Bill 187, five recommended projects have been funded in fiscal year 2025. AEA would like to thank the Legislature and Governor for their continued recognition of the REF Program’s efficacy in promoting the integration of renewable energy projects within the statewide energy portfolio, and its strong support of the REF program. In light of the numerous federal funding opportunities available and the limited community resources available, AEA and the REF Advisory Committee will seek fiscal year 2026 funds from the Legislature for the 19 projects recommended but not funded in Round 16.
If you need assistance, please contact AEA’s grants coordinator by email at grants@akenergyauthority.org or by phone at (907) 771-3081.
