In FY2024 it is anticipated that federal receipt authority will be required for new funding sources such
as USDA High Cost of Energy Grants and others.
State funds are used to leverage federal funds to expand the number of communities served by
this program which advances sustainable, efficient energy infrastructure projects that decrease
energy costs in rural Alaska over the long term.
State matching funds are required for Denali Commission funded construction projects, 20 percent for
distressed communities and 50 percent for non -distressed communities. The distressed community
list is maintained by the Denali Commission.
This program concentrates on power production and delivery, including diesel powerhouse, heat
recovery, and electrical distribution. Efficiency, reliability, safety, and sustainability are primary
drivers throughout the conceptual design, final design, and construction process.
After completion of the project, the rural utility is required to employ a qualified operator to ensure
that the system is properly operated and maintained. The AEA provides training and technical
assistance to assist the community with proper operation of the new facility.
This program began in 1997 and has expanded since FY1999 with federal funding from the Denali
Commission. Since FY2011, any available federal funds for construction projects now require a 20
percent - 50 percent match, depending on whether the community is considered distressed.
The deferred maintenance need for RPSU is estimated at approximately $327 million.

Declining funds available for bulk fuel upgrades in rural Alaska means that bulk fuel tanks are not
upgraded timely. As a result, communities are left with aging fuel tanks that may not meet the
capacity needs of the community or are at risk of leaks, contamination, and/or failure. Recent
emphasis has also been put on barge header projects to protect river and ocean side fuel systems.
Project Description/Justification:
This request includes federal receipt authority and state funds for bulk fuel tank farm upgrades.

The AEA is working in partnership with the Denali Commission on the FY2024 work plan to
prioritize project selection. The projects preliminarily identified for construction are in the following
communities: Scammon Bay, Ekwok, Shageluk and Birch Creek. The AEA and the Denali
Commission will continue to refine the project selection and cost estimates over the following
months.
State funds are used to leverage federal funds to expand the number of communities served by
this program, which advances sustainable, efficient energy infrastructure projects that decrease
energy costs in rural Alaska.
State matching funds are required for Denali Commission funded construction projects, 20 percent
for distressed communities and 50 percent for non -distressed communities. The distressed
community list is maintained by the Denali Commission.
Most of the rural tank farms have serious deficiencies that typically include:
• Inadequate dikes to contain fuel spills
• Inadequate foundations, which could cause gradual tank movement and fuel leakage
• Improper piping systems and joints, which are the most common source of fuel leaks
• Improper siting near wells, beaches, and buildings, or within a flood plain
• Tanks that are rusted or damaged beyond repair
• Electrical code violations
• Inadequate security
The deferred maintenance need for BFU is estimated at approximately $864 million.
Denali Commission has provided $480,000 in funding to AEA to begin an inventory and assessment
of eligible rural bulk fuel facilities per 3 AAC 108.110 (b), (d), and (e). This will be a multi -year effort
and provide accurate information regarding the condition of bulk fuel facilities which will enable the
same benefits realized from the power systems inventory and assessment. In addition to the normal
gathering and assessment of technical data, full three-dimensional (3D) imagery of the bulk fuel
facility will be captured.
The AEA now uses 3D imaging and Geographic Information System (GIS) software to capture
imagery, collect measurements, and process data to create, edit and share 3D renderings of rural
bulk fuel facilities. This will be used for construction management, operator training, and remote
assistance. The 3D platform enables AEA project managers to keep track of key project milestones
and immediately assess project information. The targeted result is accelerated productivity,
decision -making, and cost savings. Additionally, this information will be coordinated with the United
States Coast Guard to improve compliance of the facilities. State matching funds will be required in
future years.

Brief Summary and Statement of Need:
The Bradley Lake Hydroelectric Project (Bradley Lake) has been a low-cost source of electricity for
the Railbelt for more than 30 years. The Alaska Energy Authority (AEA) is currently studying new
project opportunities at Bradley Lake and a new hydroelectric site at Godwin Creek near Seward. The
close distance to Railbelt transmission, water storage, and significant energy makes this project
desirable. Engineering and environmental studies are needed to determine the feasibility of these
potential projects. Optimizing the energy resource potential at Bradley Lake and adding a new Railbelt
hydroelectric project will contribute significant amounts of reliable, low-cost renewable energy into the
Railbelt system.

Project Description/Justification:
The Bradley Lake Project, completed in 1991, is a 120-megawatt (MW) facility that generates about
10 percent of the total annual power used by Railbelt electric utilities and provides some of the
lowest -cost power to more than 550,000 Alaskans and "electrifies" 54,000 homes. Following the
successful completion of the West Fork Upper Battle Creek Diversion Project in 2020, AEA has
identified two major hydroelectric project opportunities: 1) Dixon Diversion Project, which is part of the
Bradley Project, potentially could electrify an additional 24-30 thousand homes and 2) Godwin Creek
hydroelectric project, near Seward, could potentially electrify an additional 10-20 thousand homes.
The combined potential energy of both Dixon and Godwin projects is estimated to be an additional 6
percent - 8 percent of the renewable energy component of the total Railbelt energy.
The development of one or both projects will provide significant energy to the Railbelt system and
allow other non -firm renewable generation to be developed for long term lower cost energy and lower

Project Description/Justification:
This request helps AEA leverage funding from federal partners such as, but not limited to, the Denali
Commission, the United States Department of Energy, and the United States Department of
Agriculture. This request is imperative for the continued development of renewable energy fields
specific to Alaska. Federal funds typically require a 20 percent state match.
The work conducted with these funds strongly supports the success of the Renewable Energy Fund
and supports achieving the 50 percent renewable energy goal as well as the 25 percent reduction in
energy usage through efficiency measures.
In addition to providing a "pipeline" of qualified projects to advance towards construction, such as the

Renewable Energy Grant Fund program and the Power Project Fund, this program removes barriers
and solves problems in each of the different renewable energy technology types. Each program area
works on statewide resource assessments, regulatory and permitting issues, outreach, and stakeholder
involvement in order to advance cost-effective renewable energy in Alaska. The programs provide a
foundation of support critical to the proper development of renewable energy technologies in Alaska.
Each of the renewable technology areas and efficiency have a working group facilitated by AEA that
supports the proper application of their technology in both urban and rural communities in the state.
These general funds will support the continuation of these programs.
The technology programs include the following focuses and projects:
Biomass: The AEA's biomass energy program focuses on exploring opportunities to increase
utilization of wood for energy production throughout the state. The program provides technical
assistance, project management, and funding to develop wood -fired systems that displace fuel oil for
heating public facilities.
Efficiency: The AEA's energy efficiency program focuses on rural community outreach and education,
public buildings, commercial buildings, and public infrastructure such as street lighting and water &
sewer infrastructure. AEA's core efficiency program efforts are focused on two primary goals: 1)
achieving the most cost-effective energy efficiency gain, and 2) providing services where energy costs
are critically high.
Electric Vehicle: The transportation sector is rapidly transitioning to electric vehicles (EVs). These
vehicles and their charging infrastructure can bring new industries to Alaska, helping to promote the
state economy and save Alaskans money. Alaskans have identified barriers to adoption such as range
anxiety and performance in cold climates. The AEA has a mission to lead the effort to minimize barriers
that inhibit EV adoption in Alaska and will continue to seek other federal opportunities (IIJA) to help
support advancement of this program.
Energy Storage: Energy storage allows for energy from non -firm generation sources such as wind or
base load thermal generation sources such as natural gas or coal to be stored for later use. The stored
energy is used during periods of high electrical demand to avoid turning on additional generation units
or to provide energy when the non -firm source is not generating. Energy storage can be accomplished
through the use of several different technologies such as, but not limited to, battery energy storage
systems (BESS), water storage, pumped hydro, flywheels, and compressed air. Battery storage can be
used in many different ways but typically it is to peak shave, support system stability, or prevent
blackouts.
Geothermal: Alaska has 141 volcanoes and over 100 hot springs. Many of these have the potential for
providing energy for agriculture, space heating and other power generation purposes.
Heat Recovery and CHP: Combined heat and power (CHP) project development activities, including
"waste" heat recovery, are supported through a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) cost -share program
for technical assistance and project development.
Hydroelectric: The hydroelectric program focuses on improving efficiency and quality in hydroelectric
development, lowering the cost of construction, and coordinating with state, federal, municipalities,

tribal entities, and private investors in analyzing, planning, and generally assisting hydroelectric project
development.
Solar: The AEA provides solar energy information, resources, and technical assistance. The Power
Project Fund and the Renewable Energy Fund have provided grant and loan financing for several EV
projects on the Railbelt and in rural Alaska.
Wind: Since 2012, Alaska's wind energy capacity has increased 400 percent. This growth is supported
by AEA's Renewable Energy Fund and information sharing among wind energy producers and
stakeholders. In partnership with the Wind Working Group, AEA facilitates annual educational events
including the wind -diesel and energy storage workshops. The AEA assists communities in evaluating
wind energy and often aids in rural community decision -making.
Nuclear: The AEA's work in nuclear energy includes general program management, assisting with the
Nuclear Roadmap Development, stakeholder engagement, and working with partners like the Alaska
Center of Energy and Power.

Project Description/Justification:
To further food security objectives in Alaska, priorities in the near term will focus on enhancing
existing production and incentivizing expansion. Many farms in the Delta region either lack
three-phase power or are off the power grid entirely.
The Delta Co -Op is currently served by single phase power but must use a diesel -powered
three-phase generator to operate its grain dryer at a dramatically higher cost. By extending
three-phase power to the remaining farms that lack three-phase service, along with the Co -Op, this
extension and upgrade will lower input costs for producers, prices for their customers, and potentially
facilitate expanded use of irrigation and drying equipment.
This project is in Golden Valley Electric Association's service area and the estimated cost is $3 million
to extend and/or upgrade service to the Co -Op, Saw Mill Road, and Cummings Road. Because the
Co -Op serves the entire region, expansion of three-phase service will be prioritized for this location.

Alaska's average rural electricity rate was six times higher than the national average, and second
highest in the country, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. The transportation
sector accounts for approximately 26.8 percent of the state's energy use, and the costs associated
with transportation and energy vary significantly across urban and rural Alaska.
The AEA submitted the Alaska National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Implementation Plan to
the federal Joint Office of Energy and Transportation to capture funds for Direct Current Fast
Charging (DCFC) on Alaska's road system. This investment, along with those planned by utilities and
municipalities, will begin to provide the fundamental infrastructure for the transition to clean
transportation.
The project includes activities and investment in 11 energy regions that are connected by the theme
of improving equitable access to Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) within the state of Alaska.
The AEA will work closely with partners to maximize public benefit by offering a competitive grant
opportunity with targeted outreach for each energy region, similar to the Alaska NEVI Plan, to deploy
Level 2 and DCFC in rural and underserved communities. Approximately four Level 2 charging
stations in each of the 11 energy regions will be installed for a total of 44 charging stations.
Construction, shipping, and maintenance costs can be double that of an urban location.
The team will draft and finalize an EV charger deployment plan specific to rural and underserved
communities, including community input on how to best site EVSE. This will help provide
benchmarking data to fully understand and track the impact of the financial investment on the market.
The AEA will prioritize locations that utilize local workforce for EVSE installation and maintenance, as
well as communities with renewable energy resources to reduce transportation related emissions. The
project team will solicit feedback from communities on how to best site EV chargers to provide the
maximum public benefit. By deploying community -based charging through this effort, we can
demonstrate and measure usage by community members and visitors. Building from the existing EV
Public Involvement Plan, AEA will coordinate a robust campaign for public education and outreach
about successes and lessons learned from the project.
