The Department of Energy’s Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates (HEAR) program will provide non-competitive funds to Tribes to provide energy efficiency and weatherization upgrades to low- and middle-income households, including $4.5 billion in rebates for high-efficiency electricity upgrades in homes across the nation. Allocations for OR, WA, ID and AK Tribes include:
- $20 million total between OR, ID, and WA Tribes (between $155,549 and $1.407 million per Tribe)
- $50 million for Alaska Native Villages, Native Corporations and Regional Corporations (between $84,442 and $3 million per Tribe)
Tribes may conduct the work, or a third-party implementer can conduct the work on behalf of a Tribe’s HEAR program. Tribes may also form a Consortium with other Tribes to apply for the combined allocated funds as a single entity.
