The US government will announce $150 million for Alaska power lines. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Reuters.
The funding announcement comes amid a heated Senate election campaign in the United States. Vice President JD Vance is campaigning in a Senate battleground.
According to Reuters, the funds will be directed toward Alaska's power lines. However, full details on exactly how the funding will be distributed and which projects it will go to have not yet been published.
The news is seen as a step by the United States aimed at improving its domestic energy infrastructure. Due to Alaska's vast territory and climatic conditions, maintaining power lines requires additional costs.
