The Lac Courte Oreilles Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians of Wisconsin was awarded a $234,000 Project Grant from the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Indian Affairs under the Tribal Energy Development Capacity (TEDC) Grants program (CFDA 15.148). The 2-year grant, awarded on May 2, 2025, will fund the tribe's initiative to establish a Tribal Utility Entity. Key activities include forming the utility's governance structure, conducting due diligence for commercial investment decisions, creating energy and eminent domain ordinances, engaging with the incumbent utility, and securing support from the proposed utility's key customer. This project aims to build the tribe's technical, managerial, and organizational capacity to develop and manage its energy resources on tribal lands.
