Despite formal recognition of Tribal sovereignty, Tribal nations face systemic legal and political barriers that hinder their ability to govern and build self-sustaining economies. Federal funding shortfalls and limited taxation authority disproportionately affect Tribal governments, and inconsistent federal consultation undermines Tribal self-determination.

To fulfill the promise of Tribal sovereignty, there is a need for education of federal officials, enforceable consultation practices, and stronger support for Tribal governance and economic development priorities.

The Tribal Energy Financing Program (TEFP) is available through DOE’s Loan Programs Office. Eligible applicants for the TEFP include federally recognized Tribes, Alaska Native village or regional or village corporations, Tribal energy development organizations, and lenders that apply in partnership with Tribes for a loan guarantee. With the considerable energy resources that exist throughout Indian country, developing energy projects can help address the nation’s energy needs and create economic development opportunities for Tribes. The TEFP can provide Tribes with economic development opportunities by supporting a variety of large-scale Tribally led energy projects. There are many advantages of TEFP design, including a focus on Tribal ownership; financing for a variety of projects, which gives Tribes more flexibility; and a direct loan option to eliminate the need for Tribes to find a lender. The Loan Programs Office coordinates often with the Office of Indian Energy to identify potential applicants and share information.
