Tribal Project Assistance
NREL helps tribes develop and implement sustainable energy strategies with technical expertise and capabilities that support renewable energy technology deployment projects. We work with tribal communities across the continental United States and Alaska.
Technical Assistance and Capacity Building
NREL helps carry out successful energy deployment projects on U.S. tribal lands by:
- Helping install renewable energy systems
- Facilitating strategic partnerships and discussions
- Building capacity within Native American communities to implement solutions to energy and environmental challenges.
For guidance on tribal energy project assistance see the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Tribal Energy Guide.
