Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant Program. (1) The Confederated Tribe of Warm Springs, Oregon, proposes to develop and/or implement an energy efficiency and conservation strategy to carry out activities to achieve the purposes of the program and use and retain technical consultant services to assist in the development of such a strategy, including formulation of energy efficiency, energy conservation, and energy usage goals; identification of strategies to achieve those goals through efforts to increase energy efficiency, reduce fossil fuel emissions, or reduce energy consumption through investments or by encouraging behavioral changes. (2) The Confederated Tribe of Warm Springs proposes to install an approximately 11 kilowatt solar photovoltaic array on the new media center in Warm Springs. The media center is a new modern structure (already completed), and the activities proposed would include placing panels on the roof of the building and install an inverter that would convert the photovoltaic DC (direct current) power to AC (alternating current) power for use in the building, while also acting as a regional model of sustainable energy use.
