Energy Stimulus Funds
The administration has just released their plans for the distribution of the federal energy stimulus funds. This information was provided by the Office of Management and Budget.
Alaska has made a significant investment in energy-efficiency programs. This includes $360 million for the Alaska Housing Finance Corporation’s weatherization and energy rebate programs and $125 million for renewable energy projects through the Alaska Energy Authority.
The Alaska Housing Finance Corporation is amending the State Energy Program Application to receive approximately $28.3 million in federal economic stimulus funding under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009. The application will focus on reducing energy costs, supporting on-going energy-efficiency programs in public buildings with an emphasis on schools, and meeting the assurances required by the ARRA for use of the funds. AHFC is seeking approval from the U.S. Department of Energy for the following allocations:
