On July 13, Department of Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm announced 13 tribal energy grants, about half of which are going to Alaska Native communities.
Granholm said that the grants from the Office of Indian Energy will help meet President Biden’s climate goals. In total, she said, they will fund some seven megawatts of clean power generation and battery storage.
“That will power 1,300 tribal buildings and save these 13 communities a combined $1.8 million annually,” she said.
On a Zoom conference call with reporters, Granholm gave special recognition to Sen. Lisa Murkowski for supporting the Office of Indian Energy.
