Alaska has been awarded $125 million in federal funding to support solar energy projects in low-income and disadvantaged communities. The funding, part of the national Solar for All program, will be distributed to various organizations in the state, including the Alaska Energy Authority, Alaska Housing Finance Corp., and Tanana Chiefs Conference. The projects aim to reduce reliance on diesel-fueled power in rural areas and promote renewable energy adoption. The investment complements efforts by state legislators to address the looming Cook Inlet natural gas shortfall and boost renewable energy production.
