NOTA:
The purpose of this Notice of Technical Assistance (NOTA) is to support the goals of the Department of Energy’s (DOE) Remote Alaskan Communities Energy Efficiency Competition (RACEE Competition), announced by President Obama.
The RACEE Competition will empower Alaskan communities and native Alaskan villages to develop effective tools to advance the use of reliable, affordable, and energy efficient solutions that are replicable throughout Alaska and other Arctic regions. This NOTA is intended to implement the first two phases of the RACEE Competition: Phase 1 will designate qualified Alaskan communities that pledge to reduce energy use as “Community Efficiency Champions”. These “Champions” will gain access to a peer network and become qualified to apply for Phase 2, which will provide Technical Assistance to selected Community Efficiency Champions.
Applicants that become designated as Community Efficiency Champions will be expected to actively share information, best practices and lessons learned with their peers related to their energy efficiency plans and actions through reporting to DOE and Peer Networks.
