Planned funding will help Native American and Alaska Native communities harness their vast energy resources to reduce or stabilize energy costs.
The Summit will bring together tribal and state governments, federal agencies, and more to build networks, exchange ideas, and explore solutions.
This investment will help Native American and Alaska Native communities harness their vast energy resources.
When completed this summer, the Initiative will add 650 kilowatts of solar capacity to tribal buildings and save about $2.8 million over 30 years.
Funding will support tribes interested in harnessing their vast undeveloped energy resources.
The roughly $2-million project involves installing over 400 kilowatts of photovoltaic arrays in these villages.
The Native Village of Hughes just installed the bones of a 120-kilowatt solar photovoltaic system that will cut diesel use and costs.
Interns will gain first-hand experience with existing tribal energy projects and exposure to issues concerning tribal energy technology use.
The funding opportunity announcement entitled “Energy Infrastructure Development on Indian Lands - 2019” will be issued early next year.
The annual event aims to bring together Indian tribes and Alaska Native villages to celebrate tribal energy successes, network, and share information.
