能源部宣布逾1.25亿美元支持部落能源项目：63个项目覆盖16州61个部落实体
美国能源部（DOE）10月22日在华盛顿宣布，将提供逾1.25亿美元，支持由部落主导的63个能源项目，覆盖包括 Alaska 在内的16个州、61个部落实体，目标是降低能源成本、扩大电力可及性，并促进部落社区的经济发展。
能源部说，这批项目与特朗普总统的「释放美国能源」行政命令一致。能源部副部长 James P. Danly 表示，这笔投资将帮助部落社区的家庭与企业获得可负担、可靠、安全的能源。印第安能源办公室（Office of Indian Energy）主任 Eric Mahroum 说，这是该办公室成立20年来对部落能源发展的单笔最大投资，并且首次支持处于任何阶段的项目，包括大型发电、输电与配电项目以及关键矿产项目。
按类别分，13个项目为社区规模项目的部署与安装，包括为目前没有电力的150户部落家庭接通电力、为500户家庭与企业改用天然气供暖，以及升级电力基础设施；27个项目进行前期开发，包括部落公用事业管理局研究、输电与配电、资源评估、韧性与劳动力发展；23个项目进行大型项目的规划、评估与可行性研究，包括勘定地热等可作基荷与韧性备用电源的资源，并评估售电收入。
能源部说，资金来自2026财年及以前年度的国会拨款。这批项目目前是被选入「授奖谈判」阶段；能源部明确表示，入选不等于承诺授奖或拨款，该部将与申请方谈判，并可因任何原因取消谈判或撤销入选。
Energy Department Announces Over $125 Million for 63 Tribal Energy Projects Across 16 States
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced in Washington on October 22 that it will provide over $125 million for 63 tribe-led energy projects spanning 16 states, including Alaska, and 61 tribal entities, to lower energy costs, expand electricity access, and advance economic development for tribal communities.
DOE said the selections are consistent with President Donald J. Trump's "Unleashing American Energy" executive order. Deputy Secretary of Energy James P. Danly said the investment will help families and business owners in tribal communities access affordable, reliable, and secure energy. Eric Mahroum, director of the Office of Indian Energy, said it is the largest-ever single investment in tribal energy development in the office's 20-year history, and the first time the office is supporting projects at any phase, including large-scale generation, transmission, and distribution projects and critical minerals projects.
By category, 13 projects cover deployment and installation of community-scale projects, including bringing electric service to 150 tribal homes currently without electricity, converting 500 homes and businesses to natural gas heating, and upgrading electrical infrastructure. Another 27 projects cover predevelopment work, including Tribal Utility Authority studies, transmission and distribution, resource assessments, resiliency, and workforce development. A further 23 projects cover planning, assessment, and feasibility studies for large-scale projects, including identifying geothermal and other resources for baseload and resilient backup power and evaluating power-sales revenue.
DOE said the projects are funded through fiscal year 2026 and prior-year congressional appropriations. The projects have been selected for award negotiations; DOE stated that selection does not constitute a commitment to issue an award or provide funding, that it will negotiate with applicants, and that it may cancel negotiations or rescind a selection for any reason.
