DOE Clean Energy Technology Deployment on Tribal Lands – Apply by May 30

Mar 29, 2024 | Grants and Funding

The Department of Energy (DOE) is soliciting applications from Tribes (including Alaska Native Regional Corporations and Village Corporations, Intertribal Organizations, and Tribal Energy Development Organizations) to:

  • Install clean energy generating system(s) and/or energy efficiency measure(s) for Tribal building(s), or
  • Deploy community-scale clean energy generating system(s) or community energy storage on Tribal lands, or
  • Install integrated energy system(s) for autonomous operation (independent of the traditional centralized electric power grid) to power a single or multiple essential Tribal buildings during emergency situations or for Tribal community resilience, or
  • Provide electric power to Tribal building(s) that otherwise would be unelectrified.


Unless DOE approves a requested cost share reduction from 20% to 10%, all applicants must provide non-federal cost share of at least 20% of the total allowable costs of the project. Cost share reduction requests of less than 10% of the total project costs will not be considered.
