Alaskans are known for their ingenuity in extreme conditions. Over the years, Alaskan cities and remote villages have come up with creative ways to bring electricity to communities despite extreme weather, permafrost, wildlife, climate change, and new economic pressures. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) established the Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations (OCED) back in December 2021 to help scale the emerging technologies needed to tackle some of our nation’s most pressing climate challenges and achieve net-zero emissions by 2050.

OCED received more than $25 billion dollars in funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and the Inflation Reduction Act to deliver these much-needed clean energy demonstration projects at scale and in partnership with the private sector to accelerate deployment, market adoption, and the equitable transition to a decarbonized system. OCED’s historic level of funding will help boost proven, but emerging technologies, to help de-risk ongoing private sector investments and accelerate the rate of construction for utilities, companies, and projects that will directly support energy resilience for Americans.
