## What the grant funds

DE-FOA-0002975: CLEAN ENERGY TECHNOLOGY DEPLOYMENT ON TRIBAL LANDS - 2023 Under this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), the DOE Office of Indian Energy is soliciting applications from Indian Tribes, which include Alaska Native Regional Corporations and Village Corporations, Intertribal Organizations, and Tribal Energy Development Organizations to: (1) Install clean energy generating system(s) and energy efficiency measure(s) for Tribal Building(s) (Topic Area 1); or, (2) Deploy community-scale clean energy generating system(s) or energy storage on Tribal Lands (Topic Area 2); or, (3) Install integrated energy system(s) for autonomous operation (independent of the traditional centralized electric power grid) to power a single or multiple Essential Tribal Buildings during emergency situations or for tribal community resilience (Topic Area 3); or, (4) Provide electric power to unelectrified tribal buildings (Topic Area 4). See Section III.A. of the FOA for eligibility information and Appendix A for the definitions. Unless DOE approves a requested cost share reduction to 10%, a 20% cost share of the total allowable costs of the project (i.e., the sum of the DOE share, and the Recipient share of allowable costs equals the total allowable cost of the project) is required. If requested by the Applicant as part of its application, a cost share reduction of 10% may be considered, based on poverty rate and median household income of the tribal community relative to the statewide median household income (see Section III.B.2. of the FOA and ‘Application Forms and Templates’ for this FOA on IE-Exchange). DOE expects to make approximately $50 million of federal funding available for new awards under this FOA, subject to the availability of appropriated funds. The actual level of funding, if any, depends on Congressional appropriations. DOE anticipates making approximately 10 to 25 awards under this FOA. DOE may issue awards in one, multiple, or none of the aforementioned Topic Areas. See the FOA document for full description. All modifications to the Funding Opportunity Announcement are highlighted in yellow in the body of the FOA. Modification 0001 1. Section I.B. (Topic Areas) – Add “For Topic Area 3 and Subtopic Area 4.a., applications proposing energy storage will only be considered if integrated into an integrated energy system(s) as that term is defined herein.” To the third paragraph on page 10. 2. Section I.B.
