 The U.S. government is making a major investment in Alaska's transportation and energy sectors. Roughly $280 million is made available through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021, as well as the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. Over $50 million will go toward transportation projects. Another $25 million will help plug and clean abandoned oil and gas wells. And $200 million will go toward battery energy storage systems in interior Alaska and on the Kenai Peninsula.
