Q-U67. Are projects that increase energy efficiency of an airport’s power sources, such as solar or geo-thermal, eligible for IIJA funding?
Yes. If in a nonattainment or maintenance area meeting the criteria for the VALE program see Q-U35.
For all other airports AIG Allocated funds can be used to assess the airport’s energy requirements in order to identify opportunities to increase energy efficiency at the airport as outlined under 49 U.S.C. 47140(a). AIG Allocated funds can be used for improvements identified in the energy assessment that increase energy efficiency at the airport under 49 U.S.C. 47140(b). Contact your ADO for additional guidance.
