The Bureau of Indian Affairs and the Department of the Interior are seeking proposals from federally recognized tribal entities through the Tribal Energy Development Capacity grant program. Grants ranging from $10,000 to $1,000,000 will fund projects that develop tribal capacity for energy resource regulation and management, such as establishing tribal business structures, developing tribal energy regulations, and conducting feasibility studies related to tribal utility authorities or emergency response planning. Applications must be submitted through Grants.gov by January 11, 2024 and will be evaluated based on the project objectives, scope of work, key personnel, and impact on tribal energy development capacity.
Successful applicants will be expected to report on progress and submit final products and data within specified timeframes if awarded a grant. Eligible places of performance include federally recognized tribal lands, as grants aim to maximize the economic impact of energy resource development on tribal land by equipping tribes to regulate and manage their energy resources through organizational development and legal/regulatory infrastructure establishment.
