This $193,919 Project Grant, awarded by the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Indian Affairs under the Tribal Energy Development Capacity (TEDC) Grants program (CFDA 15.148), supports the Hoopa Valley Tribe's efforts to enhance energy sovereignty, reduce costs, and improve reliability and sustainability of the tribe's electric services.
The project will conduct a comprehensive evaluation of five options to expand the capabilities of the Hoopa Valley Public Utility District, including implementing a tribal utility model, a community choice aggregation approach, and targeted efficiency improvements. The study will provide detailed technical, economic, and regulatory analysis of these alternatives, culminating in an implementation plan and necessary policy/charter updates for the selected option. Key deliverables include an updated electric service baseline assessment, a feasibility report on the expansion options, and a final electric service expansion plan.
