DOE Funds Wind And Solar Projects On Tribal Lands

The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Indian Energy Policy and Programs has selected 13 tribal energy projects – including wind, solar, biomass and energy efficiency – to receive funding of $7.8 million.

The selections are the result of a competitive funding opportunity announced last November. Through these grants, the DOE says its Office of Indian Energy is continuing its efforts to maximize the development and deployment of energy solutions in consultation with American Indians and Alaska Natives. The energy systems will be installed on tribal buildings and on a community scale for beneficiary tribes and Alaska Native villages, which provided matching funds.
