Funding Opportunities 

REAP will strive to keep this list as updated as possible, and we’ve tried to list the opportunities in order of due date. This is by no means a complete listing of funding opportunities and we have included some that extend to energy efficiency as well as those related to renewable energy. If you know of more opportunities, please call (907) 929-7770 or email s.nowers@REalaska.org

Renewable Energy/Energy Efficiency Training Request for Grant Applications
The Alaska Department of Labor and Workforce Development, Division of Business Partnerships in conjunction with the Alaska Workforce Investment Board, requests grant applications for training projects in Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency industries (RE and EE). The Division is seeking grant applications for training in RE and EE areas of wind turbines, hydroelectric, biomass, geothermal and weatherization and rehabilitation of public facilities, commercial facilities and multi-residential facilities. RE and EE jobs require upgrading skills of incumbent workers; teaching new skills to workers in RE and EE technologies and preparing entry-level workers planning to enter RE and EE jobs and careers.


Please note this RGA was amended and reissued on November 4, 2011 with the following changes:

  • From this solicitation, the ASESP is especially interested in receiving proposals to train workers aligned with the emerging demands of the Renewable Energy sector for hydroelectric, wind, geothermal, biomass and other renewable energy technologies.
  • Funding is limited to $100,000 per application ONLY for proposals that target training for Energy Efficiency sector occupations (e.g., weatherization technicians, energy efficiency raters, and other occupations related to the rehabilitation of residential and commercial facilities). There is no funding limit under this solicitation for proposals that target training for Renewable Energy sector occupations or projects. Applicants may submit one or more grant applications under this solicitation.

The grant application reviews will be based on those applications received on or before 4:00 p.m. Alaska Prevailing Time (APT), on Wednesday, December 12, 2011. This will be the final submission deadline for applications for this grant.
