Great news yesterday at AFN! The Department of Energy announced nearly $50 million for Tribal energy projects across Alaska—part of the largest-ever round of Tribal energy investments in the history of DOE’s Office of Indian Energy. The high cost of energy is one of the biggest challenges facing our state, particularly in rural Alaska. These investments will help strengthen energy infrastructure, improve reliability, and bring down costs for Alaska families. The long-term solution for lower energy costs is producing more Alaska energy, by and for Alaskans, and that’s exactly what these investments will help us achieve.
