Opportunity Title:
Clean Energy Technology Deployment on Tribal Lands
Funder/Agency:
DOE Office of Indian Energy
Opportunity Number:
DE-FOA-000329
Description:
Through this planned FOA, the Office of Indian Energy intends to solicit applications from Indian Tribes, which include Alaska Native Regional Corporations and Village Corporations, Intertribal Organizations, and Tribal Energy Development Organizations to install clean energy technology on Tribal lands.
This planned FOA includes four areas of interest:
Install clean energy generating system(s) and/or energy efficiency measure(s) for Tribal Building(s); or,
Deploy community-scale clean energy generating system(s) or energy storage on Tribal lands; or,
Install integrated energy system(s) for autonomous operation (independent of the traditional centralized electric power grid) to power a single or multiple Essential Tribal Building(s) during emergency situations or for Tribal community resilience; or,
Power unelectrified Tribal Buildings.
Except for Area of Interest 4, projects proposed under this FOA are intended for Tribal Buildings that are either (1) grid-connected (which, for the purposes of the planned FOA, means the Tribal Building(s) are connected to the traditional centralized electric power grid), or (2) connected to a stand-alone (isolated) microgrid that operates autonomously from the traditional centralized electric power grid.
Area of Interest 4 is intended to deploy integrated energy system(s) or energy infrastructure to provide electricity to Tribal Buildings which otherwise would be unelectrified, where “unelectrified” means Tribal Building(s) that are (1) not connected to the traditional centralized electric power grid, and (2) not connected to a stand-alone (isolated) microgrid that operates autonomously from the traditional centralized electric power grid.
Eligibility:
Indian Tribes, which include Alaska Native Regional Corporations and Village Corporations, Intertribal Organizations, and Tribal Energy Development Organizations
