The Department of Energy's Office of Indian Energy plans to issue a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) in spring 2025 for the "Energy Technology Deployment on Tribal Lands - 2025" program. The NOFO will solicit applications from Indian Tribes, Alaska Native Regional/Village Corporations, Intertribal Organizations, and Tribal Energy Development Organizations to install energy generating systems, energy efficiency measures, community-scale energy systems, autonomous integrated energy systems, or power unelectrified tribal buildings. Key requirements include a 20% cost share (reducible to 10% based on poverty rates/income levels) and submission through the IE-Exchange platform. Applications will be due approximately 90 days after the NOFO is issued.
The DOE Office of Indian Energy envisions awarding multiple grants ranging from $100,000 to $2,500,000 or $250,000 to $5,000,000, depending on the Area of Interest. The estimated period of performance for each award will be approximately 2-4 years, including a 12-month mandatory verification period. The projects are intended to be performed on tribal lands within the United States.
