The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) awarded a $24,232,383 Cooperative Agreement under the Climate Pollution Reduction Grants (CFDA 66.046) program to the Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium (ANTHC) on December 15, 2024. The purpose of this award is to implement greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction programs, policies, projects, and measures identified in a priority climate action plan developed by ANTHC. The key activities funded include installing two 1MW wind turbines with battery storage and a 300KW wind-to-heat boiler on the Toksook Bay grid, benefiting residents and visitors in Chevak, Toksook Bay, Tununak, and Nightmute, Alaska. The anticipated outcomes include decreased water/sewer costs, GHG emissions, and unsubsidized electricity costs, as well as increased job creation and power reliability.
