FISCAL NOTE ANALYSIS
STATE OF ALASKA BILL NO. SB 17
2021 LEGISLATIVE SESSION
Analysis
This proposal increases the requirement for the department to carry out energy efficiency retrofits to 25% of all public
facilities by reducing the building size criteria from 10,000 square feet to 5,000 square feet. It expands the definition of
public facilities to include governmental, education and public use buildings, 5,000 square feet or greater, that are owned
and controlled by the state. Additionally, it increases the requirement for DOT&PF to perform energy audits on each
public building and public school building at least once every seven years.
Energy Audits (Section 4):
This proposal would require energy audits on approximately 500 public school buildings every seven years costing $10.0
per building. It is estimated that approximately $714.3 per year is needed to conduct the energy audits.
Energy Efficiency Retrofits (Sections 1, 7, 8):
Approximately $15M per year will need to be awarded in Energy Savings Performance Contracts to meet the goal in
Section 1 of achieving $100M in retrofits by 2026. It is assumed that the source of funds to accomplish these retrofits is
through financing.
The department estimates approximately 4 public facilities per year, as defined in Section 8, will need energy efficiency
retrofits in order to meet the requirement of Section 7 - 25% of public facilities retrofitted by 2026.
It is assumed these retrofits will be financed through a mechanism such as the Alaska Housing Finance Corporation's
Alaska Energy Efficiency Revolving Loan Program, or a private lender.
Energy Efficiency Retrofits (Section 10):
The department estimates additional personnel management efforts would be required to contract bundled energy
efficiency projects identified by the AEA Rapid Economic Recovery Office.
50% Clean Energy Goal by 2026 (Section 11): There will be an indeterminate fiscal impact with this goal. The high-level
cyclical steps to advance toward the 50% goal would be:
1) State (all agencies and schools) reviews its facilities portfolio for those that are served by either clean energy utilities
(hydro, wind, etc.) and those that have clean energy systems at the facility level.
2) State estimates the clean energy percentage from the total.
3) State works with utility providers to, where possible, move them toward becoming a clean energy utility.
4) State prioritizes and recommends facility candidates that can move toward clean energy systems at the facility level.
State funds or finances those recommended facility retrofits, and implements.
5) Repeat cycle.

FISCAL NOTE ANALYSIS
STATE OF ALASKA BILL NO. SB 17
2021 LEGISLATIVE SESSION
Analysis
Assumptions used in this fiscal analysis
Energy Audits:
Energy Audits for Section 4:
Approximately 2,500 public buildings
Approximately 500 public school buildings = 500 x $10.0 per building =$2.5M/7 years = $714.3 (on-going)
Energy Efficiency Retrofits:
Energy Efficiency Retrofits at state owned buildings (Section 7) and public schools (Section 10).
Travel: 60 site visits per year x $2.0 per trip = $120.0 (on-going)
Four additional positions are required to achieve the above goals:
Two Engineering/Architect II positions (Range 23)
$160.9 x 2 = $321.8 (on-going)
These positions would initiate, manage and oversee the energy efficiency retrofits at the public buildings, manage the
energy savings performance contracts, and manage the energy audit efforts.
Two Engineering Assistant II positions (Range 19)
$117.0 x 2 = $234.0 (on-going)
These positions would provide on-site construction management and coordination for the individual energy efficiency
retrofits.
1st year Commodity costs: $7.5 x 4 positions = $30.0 (one-time)
On-going Core Services: $3.0 x 4 positions = $12.0 (on-going)
