This federal Project Grant award of $590,157 was provided by the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Indian Affairs through the Tribal Energy Development Capacity (TEDC) Grants program (CFDA 15.148). The grant funding will enable the Hoopa Valley Public Utilities District (HVPUD), a federally recognized tribal government entity, to develop a community microgrid plan and detailed engineering designs for the Hoopa Valley Reservation.

The key deliverables of this two-year project, with an award date of August 12, 2024 and a planned completion date of August 11, 2026, include a finalized microgrid plan, detailed engineering designs, and a draft interconnection agreement for the proposed community microgrid. The microgrid will integrate 7.7 MW of battery energy storage, 6 MW of in-front-of-the-meter solar, 0.4 MW of behind-the-meter solar, and 0.5 MW of small hydroelectric generation. This project builds upon previous HVPUD efforts to assess the reservation's energy needs and resilience requirements, working in collaboration with regional tribal entities and the Schatz Energy Research Center.
