The study will evaluate the solar potential, possible off-takers, and transmission interconnection costs required to deliver the clean...
- The La Jolla Band of Luiseno Indians received a $280,092 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Indian Affairs under the Energy and Mineral Development Program (CFDA 15.038). The grant supports the development of a feasibility study for a tribally owned microgrid to address high electricity costs and power disruptions in the region. The key objectives of the project are to: 1) Analyze options for generation, battery, and control components of the microgrid, as well as...
- The Torres Martinez Desert Cahuilla Indians, a federally recognized tribal government in California, was awarded a $326,287 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Indian Affairs under the Energy and Mineral Development Program (CFDA 15.038). The grant funding will support a comprehensive feasibility study for a tribally owned energy generation and storage system to serve the tribe's planned industrial hub. The study will assess tenant energy needs, evaluate generation...
- The Mi'Kmaq Nation was awarded a $200,000 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 grant will fund a feasibility study to explore the development of a community-level photovoltaic (PV) facility and battery energy storage system (BESS) on the tribe's 658-acre trust lands and potentially in the residential area. The study, with the support of third-party experts, aims to...
- The U.S. Department of the Interior awarded a $100,000 Project Grant to the Cahuilla Band of Indians under the Minerals and Mining on Indian Lands program (CFDA 15.038) to assess the energy resource potential and technical, economic, financial, and legal feasibility of an integrated resilient energy microgrid system for the Cahuilla Tribal Administration Resilience Campus. The proposed 2-year project will evaluate renewable and conventional energy sources, including options for interconnecting...
- The Sokaogon Chippewa Community received a $189,410 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Indian Affairs under the Tribal Energy Development Capacity (TEDC) Grants program (CFDA 15.148). The grant will fund a solar feasibility study and related pre-development activities to assess the viability of deploying residential-serving solar technology and optimizing the tribe's energy distribution infrastructure. The study aims to improve the tribe's understanding of the...
The Barona Group of the Capitan Grande Band of Mission Indians received a $12,332,497 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Indian Energy Policy and Programs (CFDA 81.087 Renewable Energy Research and Development) to install an estimated 2.8 megawatts of carport-mounted solar photovoltaic (PV) systems to serve vital tribal facilities and services. The new PV capacity is expected to generate 5,686 MWh of electricity in the first year, reducing the tribe's dependence on grid-supplied energy and electric bills by $912,169 in the first year and more than $31.2 million over the 25-year project period. This grant award is part of the DOE's Renewable Energy Research and Development program, which supports advanced research, development, and demonstration of clean energy technologies across multiple renewable energy domains to drive technological innovations, improve performance, lower costs, and accelerate commercial viability.
