Developing energy projects in Indian Country can require tapping into a variety of funding and creative financing options.

This section of the Web site describes financial opportunities available to tribes in the form of grants, which are essentially a donation or gift, and project financing, which involves raising money that typically has to be paid back. Tradable renewable energy certificates (green tags) provide another option for financing some energy projects.

In addition to financial support, the Tribal Energy Program also offers direct technical assistance with renewable energy and energy efficiency project development.
