The DOE Office of Indian Energy is soliciting applications under a $50 million notice of funding opportunity supporting Tribal-led community-scale energy project planning and development, and — for the first time in the office’s history — large-scale energy project planning. Eligible applicants include Indian Tribes (including Alaska Native regional and village corporations), tribal and intertribal organizations, Tribal Energy Development Organizations, and Tribal Colleges and Universities. DOE anticipates roughly 40 awards; Topic Area 1 (community-scale deployment) carries a 10% non-federal cost share, while pre-development Topic Areas 2 and 3 require none.
