The Swinomish Indian Tribal Community (SITC) received a $339,781 grant from the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Indian Affairs under the Energy and Mineral Development Program (CFDA 15.038) to conduct a feasibility and pre-development study for a combined heat and power (CHP) facility and alternative energy systems, including solar photovoltaic, to serve major tribal facilities on the Swinomish Reservation in Washington. The 12-month study will evaluate the technical, financial, and operational aspects of CHP and solar power to reduce the tribe's dependence on external utilities, improve energy reliability, and lay the foundation for a tribally owned energy utility. The project will result in a comprehensive feasibility report and implementation roadmap tailored to the tribe's governance and infrastructure needs, positioning SITC to pursue competitive implementation funding, create future job opportunities, and enhance community resilience to climate-related disruptions. This effort builds on the tribe's history of strategic energy planning and commitment to sustainable, community-led development.
