AK SB49

Establishes a legislative goal for Alaska to enter into $100,000,000 in energy service performance contracts by 2025 to retrofit public facilities, buildings, and school buildings with net energy cost savings within 15 years.

Requires the Department of Transportation and Public Facilities to perform energy audits at least once every seven years on public buildings and public school buildings (excluding charter schools).

Extends the retrofit requirement deadline from January 1, 2020 to January 1, 2025 for retrofitting at least 25 percent of public facilities, prioritizing those with the lowest energy efficiency.

Lowers the minimum square footage threshold for public facilities subject to retrofit requirements from 10,000 to 5,000 square feet.

Authorizes the Alaska Energy Authority to coordinate energy audits and retrofits for community facilities over 5,000 square feet that receive power cost equalization, with authority to work with facility owners to identify funding sources and energy service performance contracts.
