This $200,470 Project Grant was awarded by the U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Indian Affairs under the Energy and Mineral Development Program (CFDA 15.038) on September 22, 2025. The grant will fund a proposed project by the Pueblo De San Ildefonso, a federally recognized Native American tribal government, to conduct appropriate studies to leverage the location of the Pueblo adjacent to Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) to provide clean, renewable geothermal energy to the lab. The project aims to help LANL meet its goal of transitioning to 100% carbon-pollution-free electricity by 2030 and achieving carbon neutrality by 2050, while also providing a revenue stream for the Pueblo and bolstering the regional economy. Additionally, the project seeks to develop a viable model for financing and constructing a utility-scale geothermal energy generation project on Indian trust land that will benefit the Pueblo, surrounding low-income communities, and the major federal installation, as well as provide local jobs and workforce training.
