Opportunity Information: Apply for DE FOA 0002774
The CLEAN ENERGY TECHNOLOGY DEPLOYMENT ON TRIBAL LANDS - 2022 funding opportunity (DE FOA 0002774) is a discretionary grant program from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Office of Indian Energy, administered through the DOE Golden Field Office. Its main purpose is to help Tribal communities move forward with practical, near-term deployment of clean energy and energy efficiency projects on Tribal Lands, with an emphasis on reducing energy costs, improving reliability, and strengthening local resilience. Rather than focusing on early-stage research, this program is aimed at getting real systems installed and operating for Tribal facilities and communities.
The FOA is open to Indian Tribes, including Alaska Native Regional Corporations and Village Corporations, as well as Intertribal Organizations and Tribal Energy Development Organizations. Eligible applicant categories are listed as federally recognized Native American tribal governments and Native American tribal organizations (other than federally recognized tribal governments). Projects must align with one of three topic areas, each focused on a different scale and use case for clean energy deployment.
Topic Area 1 supports projects that install clean energy generating systems and/or energy efficiency measures specifically for Tribal buildings. This is geared toward improving the performance and lowering the operating costs of individual facilities such as government buildings, community centers, clinics, schools, or other Tribal-owned or Tribal-serving structures. The intent is straightforward: upgrades that directly reduce energy consumption and/or add on-site clean generation for the building or facility.
Topic Area 2 is designed for broader, community-scale projects on Tribal Lands. This includes deploying community-scale clean energy generation and/or energy storage. The emphasis here is on systems that serve multiple users or meet wider community needs, which can include shared generation assets and storage that help manage peaks, improve reliability, or support larger energy goals for the Tribe.
Topic Area 3 focuses on resilience and emergency preparedness through integrated energy systems capable of autonomous operation, meaning they can run independently from the traditional centralized power grid. These projects are meant to keep essential Tribal facilities powered during outages, disasters, or other emergency situations. The systems may support a single essential facility or multiple critical facilities, and the core idea is to create reliable, self-sustaining power capability that can maintain operations when the grid is unavailable.
In terms of funding, DOE indicated an expectation of approximately $20.0 million in total federal funding available for new awards under this FOA, contingent on Congressional appropriations. The program anticipated making roughly 6 to 15 awards, and the maximum federal award amount (award ceiling) was $4,000,000 per project. DOE also noted that it could choose to make awards in one topic area, multiple topic areas, or potentially none in a given topic area depending on application quality, program priorities, and available funds.
Key administrative details include a creation/posting date of November 1, 2022, and an original application closing date of February 9, 2023. The funding activity category is Energy, and the assistance listing/CFDA number provided is 81.087. Applicants were directed to the full announcement and submission details through the DOE’s IE-Exchange platform at https://ie-exchange.energy.gov/, which is where official requirements, eligibility nuances, technical and financial application components, and submission instructions are typically maintained for Office of Indian Energy opportunities.Apply for DE FOA 0002774
