Valdez dcfc development

The Alaska Energy Authority is issuing a Request for Information on direct current fast charging infrastructure development, installation, ownership, operation, and maintenance in Valdez, Alaska, with responses due September 21, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. local time. This is an information-gathering exercise; the RFI does not obligate AEA or the State of Alaska to conduct a future solicitation, award a contract, or reimburse respondents for preparation costs.

Project scope, ownership structure, funding approach, site location, charging capacity, and operating model have not yet been determined. Respondents should address factors affecting project cost, schedule, reliability, and long-term operation, as well as minimum site or project requirements for participation. Vendors with experience in cold-climate or remote locations and familiarity with Alaska deployment considerations are preferred. Responses are limited to three pages and must be submitted to Selwin Ray, Contract Officer, at the AEA office in Anchorage or via email.

Administrative Order 352 applies, disqualifying any person or business determined to support or participate in a boycott of the State of Israel, except for businesses with fewer than ten employees or contracts valued below $100,000. No contract value, term, renewal options, quantities, or award timeline are specified in the RFI.
