Federal Grant Award Summary The Office of Indian Energy Policy and Programs awarded Blackfeet Community College a $725,375 Project Grant effective February 1, 2026, under the Renewable Energy Research and Development program (CFDA 81.087) to install roof-mounted solar photovoltaic (PV) systems totaling 148 kilowatts direct current across three campus facilities in Browning, Montana. The installations will be deployed on the agriculture facility (meat processing training building), Yellow Bird Woman Building, and Beaver Painted Lodge, with no additional land disturbance beyond existing building footprints. Over the 25-year system life, the solar PV installation is projected to generate approximately 4,049 megawatt hours of electricity and generate $601,056 in institutional energy cost savings while offsetting approximately 20% of grid-supplied electricity to the campus. In addition to the renewable energy infrastructure deployment, the project integrates a workforce development training program that combines classroom preparation with on-site installation experience to build local clean energy capacity. The grant supports both the technical installation and human capital development objectives, with project completion targeted for January 30, 2030. The initiative is expected to enhance campus energy resiliency through localized generation, reduce strain on regional distribution infrastructure, and demonstrate scalable clean energy solutions applicable to other tribal facilities on the Blackfeet Reservation.
