Notice of Intent: Energy Infrastructure Deployment on Tribal Lands - 2020

The Department of Energy's Office of Indian Energy is planning to issue a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) to support the deployment of energy solutions on tribal lands. The FOA will provide funding for Indian Tribes, Intertribal Organizations, and Tribal Energy Development Organizations to install energy generating systems, deploy community-scale energy generating systems, or install integrated energy systems for autonomous operation. The estimated period of performance for each award will be approximately one to three years. * The FOA will support four topic areas: * Installing energy generating systems or energy efficiency measures for tribal buildings * Deploying community-scale energy generating systems or energy storage on tribal lands * Installing integrated energy systems for autonomous operation to power essential tribal facilities during emergency situations or for tribal community resilience * Deploying energy infrastructure or integrated energy systems to electrify tribal buildings
