Energy Funding Matrix

The Transmission Siting and Economic Development Grants Program will facilitate siting of transmission projects by providing grants to siting authorities to expedite the siting and permitting process and providing grants for economic development activities in communities that may be affected by a transmission project.

This planned FOA will solicit applications for the planning, assessment, and development of clean energy projects on Tribal buildings or Tribal lands. Specifically, the 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: conduct Tribal clean energy planning, comprehensively assess the feasibility and viability of deploying clean energy technology on Tribal lands, or conduct clean energy project design and development activities for deployment on Tribal buildings or Tribal lands. Under the planned FOA, the Office of Indian Energy anticipates making approximately $25 million available with awards that range from $100,000 to $2,500,000.

LPO supports tribal investment in energy-related projects by providing direct loans or partial loan guarantees to federally recognized tribe, including Alaska Native village or regional or village corporations; or a Tribal Energy Development Organization (TEDO) that is wholly or substantially owned by a federally recognized Indian tribe or Alaska Native Corporation.

Through this FOA, DOE will invest $35,000,000 to fund the first large-scale investment for the development of a pilot tidal and/or current Research, Development and Demonstration (RD&D) site in the U.S., with the aim to position tidal and/or current energy generation as a key clean energy contributor ready for net-zero emissions power sector while creating good jobs. An additional $10,000,000 will be invested in a community-led tidal and/or current energy projects.

This FOA will aid communities with resource and energy recovery strategies associated with their organic waste streams. Topic Area 1 is focused specifically on helping communities beyond a conceptualization phase by supporting more in-depth feasibility or scoping analysis. Topic Area 2 is targeted towards communities that have previously completed feasibility analysis and are seeking funding to further refine their project concept.

This opportunity will fund projects in one topic area, Water Power Incubation and Acceleration, focused on enabling entrepreneurship, accelerating water power innovation, and supporting business creation and growth in communities and regions throughout the United States.
