The State of Alaska received a one-time disbursement of federal funds through the U.S. Department of Energy’s State Energy Program: Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (SEP BIL) under Section 40109 to enhance energy security, advance state-led energy initiatives, and increase energy affordability.
Of the overall award, $1,000,000 in SEP BIL funds from the U.S. Department of Energy was directed to support RE-VEEP, a program that will finance building-scale renewable energy, energy efficiency, and conservation projects in public buildings and facilities located in rural RE-VEEP supports Federal Administration and Congressional goals to (1) improve U.S. energy resilience and reduce exposure to energy-related risk, (2) invest in modernized and upgraded infrastructure that improves reliability and enables consumer access to affordable energy, (3) support the deployment of innovative and cost-effective energy solutions that strengthen domestic energy systems and supply chains, and (4) create and sustain good-paying jobs.
All Grant awards made under RE-VEEP shall comply with applicable law, including regulations contained in 2 CFR Part 200 as amended by 2 CFR Part 910 and 10 CFR Part 420 . This RFA sets out the purpose, instructions, requirements, evaluative criteria, and other information for submitting an application to AEA for consideration of sub-award grants to eligible entities under the RE-VEEP. 1.
3 Government Roles and Responsibilities AEA is a public corporation of the State of Alaska with the mission to reduce the cost of energy in Alaska by carrying out the powers and duties assigned to it.
Under the authorizing statutes of Section 40109 of the IIJA and as authorized by the Office of Governor Michael Dunleavy of the State of Alaska; AEA has been selected as the sole Eligible Applicant and has been charged with administering sub-award grants, through this RFA, for RE-VEEP.
AEA’s grants manager is responsible for accepting applications, coordinating any communications with Grantees, and posting any changes or clarifications to the application process. AEA’s Energy Efficiency Program Manager is responsible for coordinating the evaluation of all applications. The program manager will clarify grant requirements, review progress reports and billings, and review and accept deliverables of the grant project.
The program manager will also support technical assistance as needed, which is anticipated to include a broad range of eligible entity Alaska Energy Authority Page 4 of 17 December 2025 questions regarding the application process, potential projects, reporting metrics, etc. The Executive Director of AEA, in conjunction with decisions and/or determinations made by the U.S. DOE or a designee, will approve the final grant and carry out all other duties as defined in applicable statutes, regulations, and this RFA.
Applicants applying for a RE-VEEP grant should be advised that special terms and conditions apply to projects funded SEP BIL relating to the following: • Reporting, tracking, and segregation of incurred costs; • Reporting on job creation and preservation; • Publication of information on the Internet; • Access to records by Inspectors General and the Government Accountability Office; • Ensuring that iron, steel, manufactured goods, and construction materials used in infrastructure projects are produced in the United States; • National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) limitations/requirements; • Ensuring wage rates are comparable to those prevailing on projects of a similar character; • Certification and Registration.
Recipients of funding appropriated by the IIJA must comply with requirements of all applicable Federal, State, and local laws, regulations, DOE policy and guidance, and instructions in the prevailing US DOE Administrative and Legal Requirements Document (“ALRD”).
As the administrator of RE-VEEP, AEA is obliged to flow down the requirements to sub-recipients (i.e., sub-awardees) to ensure the sub-recipient’s compliance with the requirements.
Such requirements are at the full discretion of US DOE and are subject to change at any time, these requirements will be incorporated as part of the sub-award agreement as related to this solicitation, and may be subject to amendment throughout the course of the term of the sub-award.
An applicant committed to representing the interests of the entire community in developing an effective work plan and implementing energy efficiency and conservation measures to maximize cost savings from the community's use of electricity and heating energy is eligible to apply for and receive a grant.
Eligible applicants include, but are not limited to municipalities, school districts, unincorporated villages, Native corporations, tribal consortiums recognized as nonprofit entities under 26 U. C. S.
501(c)(3), regional housing authorities, councils organized under 25 U.S.C. 476, and traditional councils. 1.
5 Eligible Projects / Use of Funds Communities may use grant funding for the following types of building-scale renewables, energy efficiency, and conservation projects.
(1) energy efficiency audits of public buildings and facilities; not more than 20 percent of the grant money may be used for energy efficiency audits ; (2) energy efficiency improvements to public buildings and facilities, including those affecting the (A) thermal envelope; improvements affecting the thermal envelope include installing insulation or weather sealing, and replacing windows and doors; and (B) heating, domestic hot water, air conditioning, or ventilation systems; (C) lighting systems and controls, both indoor and outdoor; and (D) other electrical load of the building or facility, including motors, pumps, water heaters, heat trace timers, occupancy sensors, other control equipment, exit signs, refrigeration, appliances, and other electric loads; Alaska Energy Authority Page 5 of 17 December 2025 (4) Implementation of building-scale renewable energy projects must make direct use of renewable energy resources to generate energy or to make a fuel that can be used to generate energy.
“Building-scale renewables” are systems or technologies that are designed and implemented at the scale of individual buildings. These systems or technologies are installed on or integrated with buildings to generate clean and sustainable energy for on-site use or to contribute surplus energy back to the grid.
Designed to the specific energy needs and characteristics of the building, building-scale renewables encompass various technologies, such as solar photovoltaic (PV), solar thermal systems, building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV), heat pumps, and more.
Other examples of eligible renewable energy resources include: (A) wind, solar, geothermal, waste heat recovery, hydropower; or (B) low-emission nontoxic biomass based on solid or liquid organic fuels from wood, forest and field residues, or animal or fish products; or (C) dedicated energy crops available on a renewable basis; or (D) landfill gas and digester gas.
“Waste heat recovery” means systems for the recovery of unused heat from systems or processes in operation when the applicant applies for a grant. Grant funds will be allocated only to the portions of existing systems that are required for the capture and distribution of heat. The total amount of funding available for all sub-awards through this solicitation is $1,000,000.
Awarded projects must both start, and complete, construction within a 2-year performance period. AEA will score applications using a systematic approach that considers various criteria to ensure a mix of projects and an equitable and effective distribution of resources. All expenditures must be allowable, allocable, and reasonable in accordance with the applicable federal cost principles.
The Office of State and Community Energy Programs (SCEP) determines the allowability of costs through reference to 2 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part 200 as amended by 2 CFR part 910 . Refer to the following applicable federal cost principles for more information: • 2 CFR Part 200 Subpart E - Cost Principles for all other non-federal entities.
Costs to support or oppose union organizing, whether directly or as an offset for other funds, are unallowable. 1. 7 Eligible Entity Prioritization In making grants to eligible entities (i.e. sub-awardees) using funds made available to the applicable State under RE-VEEP, the State shall give priority to projects that, in the determination of the State, will generate the greatest community benefit.
1. 8 Cost Match Requirements There are no cash or in-kind match requirements for projects submitted under this RFA. Below is an anticipated schedule of critical dates related to this request and the award of the sub-award grants.
