Section 3.107.745. Review of abstracts.

	(a)  The authority, in consultation with the emerging energy technology fund advisory committee, will evaluate and rank abstracts not rejected under 3 AAC 107.740 based on how well the proposed project addresses the statutory priorities under AS 42.45.375, and the following criteria:  
		(1) feasibility of the proposed technology;  
		(2) innovation and quality of the technical explanations submitted;  
		(3) how well the proposed project will demonstrate emerging energy  technologies, test methods of conserving energy, improve an existing energy technology, or deploy an existing technology that has not previously been demonstrated in the state;   
		(4) how well the proposed project addresses the priority considerations established for projects under the request for grant applications;

		(9) the extent to which the proposed project will advance the commercialization of the energy technology not later than the next five years;  
		(10) capabilities of the project team;  
		(11) potential commercial market for the proposed technology or energy from the proposed technology; and  
		(12) an evaluation of the finance plan and budget for the proposed project.
