About this award

Written by GovTribe AI ·

The Denali Commission awarded Alaska Village Electric Cooperative Inc. (AVEC) $9.437 million under the Denali Commission Program (CFDA 90.100) to design, construct, and implement the Kobuk-Shungnak Multivoltage Direct Current/Alternating Current (MVDC/AC) electrical intertie project. The project, which commenced on July 1, 2025, and is scheduled for completion by March 31, 2028, will establish critical electrical infrastructure connecting the remote Alaskan communities of Kobuk and Shungnak. This intertie infrastructure represents a strategic investment in improving power system reliability and reducing energy costs in these isolated rural villages by enabling optimized power distribution and reducing diesel fuel dependence across the region.

As a not-for-profit electric utility serving 59 remote Alaskan communities, AVEC brings substantial expertise in rural energy infrastructure development to this project. The electrical intertie aligns with the Denali Commission's mandate to fund critical infrastructure and utilities projects in distressed Alaskan communities based on documented community need. Upon completion, this project will enhance grid stability and operational efficiency for two geographically isolated communities while supporting broader energy resilience objectives consistent with AVEC's mission to deliver sustainable power generation solutions to areas experiencing among the highest energy costs in the United States.
