Opportunity description
DE-FOA-0003548: Unleashing Tribal Energy Development
Under this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), the DOE Office of Indian Energy Policy and Programs is soliciting applications to advance affordable, reliable, and secure energy development of Tribal energy resources for the benefit of Tribes and their members.
Projects funded under this NOFO are expected to advance Tribal sovereignty through Tribal energy development, efficiency, and use.
Projects under Topic Area 1 are expected to serve the electric loads and support the energy needs of Tribes at the scale of a Tribal community or communities. These projects entail the construction of energy assets and projects.
Projects under Topic Area 2 are expected to complete all pre-development activities necessary for the deployment of community scale energy projects.
Projects under Topic Area 3 are expected to complete necessary pre-development activities for large scale commercial development of Tribal energy resources which lead to enhancement and strengthening of Tribal energy and economic infrastructure.
DOE expects to make approximately $50 million of federal funding available for new awards under this NOFO. DOE may issue awards in one, multiple, or none of the Topic Areas.
