Establishment of an Intertribal Technical Energy Providers Network

Summary

The Midwest Tribal Energy Resources Association (MTERA) undertook a 7-year initiative with a total project cost of $1,166,851, funded by the Department of Energy, to enhance Tribal energy resilience and sustainability. The project successfully grew MTERA from 5 Member Tribes in 2016 to 23 Tribes by 2023, serving communities across Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan. MTERA established itself as a central hub for information, policy liaison, and training, supporting Member Tribes in achieving an encouraged goal of 25% energy use reduction by 2025. Notably, the organization secured 3-4 times its target funding from its 2020 sustainability plan, demonstrating strong growth and financial viability for future efforts in clean energy deployment and policy advocacy.
