The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Tribal Energy Program promotes tribal energy sufficiency, economic growth, and employment on tribal lands through the development of renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies. The program provides financial assistance, technical assistance, and education and training to tribes for the evaluation and development of renewable energy resources and energy efficiency measures.

DOE’s Tribal Energy Program consists of program management through DOE headquarters, program implementation and project management through DOE’s field offices, and technical support through DOE laboratories. Program management for the Tribal Energy Program is carried out by DOE’s Weatherization and Intergovernmental Program, which provides programmatic direction and funding to DOE field offices for program implementation. DOE’s Golden Field Office solicits, awards, administers, and manages financial assistance agreements.

Program funding is awarded through a competitive process. Click here to view current program funding opportunities, and here to apply for technical assistance.
