The Solar for All program is a $7 billion competitive grant program through the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Greenhouse Gas Fund, authorized by the Inflation Reduction Act. It is designed to deploy residential and community solar photovoltaic (PV) projects benefiting underserved, low-income households, with no cost matching required from the grantees.
In spring 2024, the EPA announced the conditional award of two $62.45 million Solar for All grants for Alaska: a state government grant to the Alaska Energy Authority (AEA) and a tribal grant to Tanana Chiefs Conference (TCC). The grants were fully released by the EPA in November 2024 and January 2025, respectively, and program planning is in progress.
These two programs each have a solar energy workforce development component, and have a total of five sub-programs, which are described in detail below. A simple list is as follows:
Tanana Chiefs Conference (TCC), under their federally funded Alaska Tribal Solar for All (ATSFA) program, separate from AEA’s AKSFA grant but also working with AHFC’s residential solar program, is working with its partners to implement two further sub-programs:
AEA will run two sub-programs of AKSFA, focusing on community-scale solar and single/multi-family residential solar installations, respectively.
Expected AKSFA program launch date: July 2025
TCC is further working with its partners to implement two further sub-programs:
