The Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Indian Energy Policy and Programs (Office of Indian Energy) intends to issue a Funding Opportunity Announcement entitled Deployment of Clean Energy and Energy Efficiency Projects on Indian Lands . Through this planned Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), DOE continues its efforts to promote tribal energy sufficiency and spur increased deployment of clean energy and energy efficiency projects on Indian lands. In support of the offices objectives, the Office of Indian Energy intends to solicit applications from Indian Tribes (including Alaska Native regional and village corporations), Tribal Energy Resource Development Organizations and Tribal Consortia to: (1) Install clean energy and energy efficiency retrofit projects for tribal buildings ( Area of Interest 1); and (2) Deploy clean energy systems on a community-scale (Area of Interest 2). Under the planned FOA, the Office of Indian Energy will only consider applications from an eligible Indian Tribe (including Alaska Native regional corporations and Alaska village corporations), Tribal Energy Resource Development Organization, or Tribal Consortium (group of organization, one of which is an eligible Indian Tribe who submits the application on behalf of the consortium) on whose Indian Land the project will be located. Applications from a consortium of Indian Tribes will be accepted but must be submitted by a single Indian Tribe acting as the Applicant representing the Consortium. Applications may also be submitted on behalf of an Indian Tribe(s) by an authorized Tribal Organization or Inter-Tribal Organization, provided evidence of that authority is supplied as part of the application. A Tribal Council Resolution from each participating Indian Tribe, declaration (or resolution) from each Tribal Energy Resource Development Organization or Tribal Consortium, and a letter of commitment from all other project participants will be required as a part of the application. If an application is being submitted on behalf of an Indian Tribe(s) by an authorized Tribal Organization or Inter-Tribal Organization, evidence of that authority will be required as part of the application, along with a declaration (or resolution) from the Tribal Organization or Inter-Tribal Organization, and a letter of commitment from all other project participants. All resolutions, declarations and letters of commitment must be specific to the FOA and must include any cost sharing commitments. The purpose of this Notice is to provide potential applicants advance notice that the Office of Indian Energy, on behalf of the DOE, intends to issue a FOA titled, "DE-FOA-0001390 - Deployment of Clean Energy and Energy Efficiency Projects on Indian Lands". NO APPLICATIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED THROUGH THIS NOTICE. Please do not submit questions or respond to this Notice of Intent. DOE plans to issue the FOA in or around the last calendar quarter in 2015.
