Description

Bonneville Power Administration’s (BPA) 2025 Tribal Low-Income Energy Efficiency Grant Program. Priority Applications Due: December 1, 2024. Letters of Intent due: December 15, 2024.  The BPA Tribal Low-Income Energy Efficiency Grant Application is posted online and we are currently accepting applications and letters of intent sent to EETribalGrants@bpa.gov. Guidance on how to draft applications and deadlines for submission are outlined in section “Part IV – Applications and Submission Information”. These are non-competitive grants for energy efficiency upgrades on existing residential housing served by a BPA customer utility. Grant budgets and performance periods can vary depending on the needs of the tribe and can be used for a variety of program options. Budgets can range from $5,000 to $100,000 depending on the tribe’s need and available budget, but there is no minimum grant amount.  Priority applications are due by close of business on December 1 or submit a letter of intent by December 15. Applicants are encouraged to submit requests for funding by January 1 to ensure that funding will still be available, but more will be awarded as budget is available. To learn more about this grant opportunity and to ask any questions, please view the recorded webinar on BPA Energy Efficiency and Tribal Affairs. The recording will be posted on BPA’s Low Income Energy Efficiency Page following the webinar.
