The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Indian Energy, in partnership with Western Area Power Administration, hosted a webinar titled, "Essential Tribal and Utility Relationships," on Nov. 29, 2017. Electric utilities that serve tribal loads can provide a number of beneficial services that are essential to tribal self-sufficiency and self-determination, and to strengthening economic development opportunities on Indian lands. Services can range from customized rate tariffs to line extensions and energy services, among other offerings. Additionally, utilities can become partners with tribal organizations on a variety of energy efficiency, renewable energy, and power generation projects and programs.
