DOE Tribal Energy Funding

The Department of Energy funds several energy infrastructure projects each year. Energy infrastructure projects are developed and deployed in many states to assist Native American and Alaska Native communities and help those populations to make better use of their energy resources. The DOE funds millions of dollars in planned energy infrastructure projects in the communities chosen. The funds, through the DOE Office of Indian Energy Policy and Programs, support projects that will reduce or stabilize energy costs in those communities and increase energy security. The money often goes thru the Office of Indian Energy solicitations, including solicited fuel- and technology-neutral projects. In the past, the projects have included wind power, solar photovoltaics (PV), natural gas, and a hybrid solar-storage-liquid propane microgrid system.
