AEA seeks applicants for outdoor lighting grants

Applications are being accepted by the Alaska Energy Authority for grants to retrofit outdoor lighting of public buildings and facilities to LED technology in rural communities. The application deadline is Sept. 20. Grants are to be awarded in October. Funding for the latest program comes from a grant from Wells Fargo, plus additional matching funds from the state’s Village Energy Efficiency Program, with a goal of implementing energy saving efficiency measures for buildings and facilities in small communities statewide.
