The Alaska Energy Authority (AEA) is accepting applications for the Renewable Energy Village Energy Efficiency Program (RE-VEEP). A total of $2.6 million will be sub-awarded as grants to eligible local governments to support building-scale renewable energy, energy efficiency, and conservation projects in public buildings and facilities located in rural Alaska. Applications are due by 4 p.m. on Tuesday, February 27, 2024.
RE-VEEP is open to local governments who were ineligible for direct formula grant funding under the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant Program through the Office of State and Community Energy Programs at the United States Department of Energy. A list of eligible communities can be viewed here.
Following the deadline, AEA will evaluate all applications received and notify approved applicants of their awards by the end of February 2024. All applications and information received will be posted on AEA’s website after sub-award determinations have been made.
RE-VEEP is an expansion of the Village Energy Efficiency Program, which was established to reduce per capita consumption through energy efficiency. Through RE-VEEP projects, communities with high energy costs will be able to reduce their energy consumption and costs. AEA will administer RE-VEEP according to federal applicant and project eligibility requirements.
