Funding History - 2004 Projects

In fiscal year 2003, DOE solicited applications for financial assistance from federally recognized tribes or Alaskan Native corporations to conduct feasibility studies for renewable energy installations on tribal lands.

Of the eleven feasibility study applications selected for funding under the FY 2003 solicitation, four tribal projects were awarded in 2003 and seven projects were awarded using FY 2004 funds.

These feasibility studies were intended to demonstrate the potential sustainability of renewable energy development on tribal lands, including the potential economic and environmental benefits to the tribe.
