Project Description

Two phases of work are proposed that build upon the current economic development goals of the Fort Peck Tribes. Phase I will develop a strategic energy plan (SEP) for the tribes. The strategic energy plan will be developed by defining tribal energy goals and objectives contained in a Fort Peck Tribes energy vision statement. Following the completion of the vision statement, a Fort Peck Tribes energy implementation action plan will be created that will clearly define how to implement the goals and objectives contained in the vision statement and SEP. The energy options analysis will be developed by examining energy generation estimates for tribal energy resources, identifying potential energy markets, establishing a proactive tribal energy deployment strategy, and concluding with the creation of a tribal energy solicitation process that outlines how the tribes will receive development proposals to implement tribal energy projects.
