In December 2020, Congress included in its Fiscal Year 2021 Consolidated Appropriations Act for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to assess and report on the current status of access to electricity and electricity reliability for households in Tribal communities.
DOE’s Office of Indian Energy Policy and Programs prepared this report by engaging Indian Tribes and evaluating (1) prior investments by DOE, and (2) the needed investments in electricity access and reliability.
