On March 14th, at 3:00 p.m. ET, the Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Indian Energy will host a webinar to provide interested applicants with more information on the Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) for Clean Energy Technology Deployment on Tribal Lands. The DOE will be awarding approximately $25 million, and applications will need to be submitted by May 30th. If you are unable to attend, this webinar will be recorded and available for later viewing for those registered.
From the Department of Energy’s Office of Indian Energy:
Under this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), the Office of Indian Energy is soliciting applications from Indian Tribes, which include Alaska Native Regional Corporations and Village Corporations, Intertribal Organizations, and Tribal Energy Development Organizations to:
(1) Install clean energy generating system(s) and/or energy efficiency measure(s) for Tribal building(s); or,
(2) Deploy community-scale clean energy generating system(s) or community energy storage on Tribal lands; or,
(3) Install integrated energy system(s) for autonomous operation (independent of the traditional centralized electric power grid) to power a single or multiple essential Tribal buildings during emergency situations or for tribal community resilience; or,
(4) Provide electric power to Tribal Building(s), which otherwise would be unelectrified (Topic Area 4).
Eligible applicants will be determined by:
“Pursuant to its authorizing statute, DOE’s Office of Indian Energy will only consider
applications from: (1) an Indian Tribe; (2) Intertribal Organization, or (3) Tribal Energy
Development Organization; and (4) on whose Tribal Lands the project(s) will be located.
Applications from a consortium of Indian Tribes (Tribal Consortium) will be accepted but must be submitted by a single Indian Tribe acting as the Applicant representing the Consortium.
Applications may also be submitted on behalf of Indian Tribe(s) by an authorized Tribal Organization, provided evidence of that authority is supplied as part of the application.
See Section III.A. for eligibility requirements and definitions, and Appendix A for further definition.”
