The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Indian Energy Policy and Programs is dedicated to fostering energy self-sufficiency, enhancing economic growth, and creating job opportunities on tribal lands. This is achieved by supporting the development and use of renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies. The office aids tribes by offering financial support, technical assistance, and educational programs for assessing and developing renewable energy resources and implementing energy efficiency measures.
The DOE’s program activities include management at DOE headquarters, execution and project oversight through DOE field offices, and technical assistance via DOE laboratories. The Weatherization and Intergovernmental Program within the DOE oversees program management, providing strategic guidance and allocating funds to DOE field offices for program execution. The DOE’s Golden Field Office is responsible for handling financial assistance agreements, including solicitation, awarding, administration, and management.
Funding for the program is distributed through a competitive selection process. For information on current funding opportunities and applying for technical assistance, click the respective links.
