The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide funding to the Colusa Indian Community Council for the design, procurement, and installation of an expansion of their existing medium-voltage distribution to more than 30 households, a daycare, a mechanical shop, irrigation pumps, and a sewer lift station, which currently receive electric service from the local electric utility. As part of the project automatic meter reading (AMR) and advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) would be installed to allow the Tribe to set up its own electric metering and billing like a utility.
