Many Tribal Nations have called for additional resources to support Tribal capacity to engage in offshore wind energy decision-making processes. In response, DOE seeks to recognize the vital work that Tribal Nations and collaboratives do to support Tribal participation in offshore wind energy decision-making processes that affect their communities, cultural resources, economic opportunities, and the homelands and ocean spaces that they steward.
To do this, DOE is proposing to launch a capacity accelerator to provide direct funding and technical assistance to Tribes. This accelerator could support engagement in site assessment and leasing, involvement in environmental monitoring, and advancement of wind energy equity. Taking place over multiple years, this effort would include several application and funding opportunities.
First, DOE wants Tribal input on the design of the accelerator. Register to join our webinar to learn more and share your ideas. Be sure to sign up even if you can’t attend, because we will share a recording of the session. And follow the accelerator for details and updates, including answers to questions that arise during the webinar.
