Tribal Energy Project Funding History

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) funds a wide variety of clean energy projects in an effort to assist Tribes in realizing their energy visions. From 2010 through 2024, DOE's Office of Indian Energy has invested over $190 million in more than 240 Tribal energy projects implemented across the contiguous 48 states and in Alaska. These projects, valued collectively at over $300 million, are leveraged by more than $125 million in recipient cost-share. Data on DOE Tribal energy project awards by type and funding history is provided below and information on the projects funded can be found in our Projects Database.
