Statewide bulk fuel project management/contract management

The Denali Commission awarded Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium (ANTHC) a $100 million Project Grant under the Denali Commission Program (CFDA 90.100) on August 1, 2025, for statewide bulk fuel project management and contract management services in Alaska. The award, with a completion deadline of July 31, 2028, supports critical energy infrastructure development across rural Alaskan communities by establishing and managing bulk fuel facilities and related energy systems. This infrastructure initiative addresses high energy costs and supply chain challenges in remote regions by improving fuel storage, distribution, and accessibility for communities dependent on diesel and other fuel sources for power generation and heating.

ANTHC is executing the project through multiple sub-awardees, including the Alaska Energy Authority (AEA), which received sub-awards on November 5, 2025, and March 20, 2026, to develop bulk fuel infrastructure in five rural communities—Shageluk, Russian Mission, Eek, Aniak, and Tuluksak—and the Alaska Village Electric Cooperative Inc. (AVEC), which received a sub-award on November 20, 2025, to participate in Stage I of the Alaska Bulk Fuel Infrastructure Partnership. These coordinated efforts leverage the expertise of state energy agencies and rural electric cooperatives to deliver comprehensive fuel infrastructure improvements that enhance energy reliability and reduce operational costs for Alaska Native communities.
