Renewable Energy Accelerated Deployment Initiative

About READI

readi logoThe U.S. Department of the Interior is launching the Renewable Energy Accelerated Deployment Initiative (READI), seeking input on how to streamline and advance Tribal renewable energy development. READI is sponsored by the BIA Office of Trust Services (OTS) through the Indian Energy Service Center (IESC) and Division of Energy and Mineral Development (DEMD).

A Tribal engagement series is being held to hear directly from Tribes about renewable energy resource needs and priorities. Each engagement session will be guided by the following discussion prompts:   

  • What is your tribal vision for renewable energy development?
  • What obstacles or challenges hinder your tribal nations’ renewable energy development?  
  • What additional resources are needed to implement your tribal nation’s vision for renewable energy development?
  • What additional resources are needed to sustain your tribal nation’s vision for renewable energy development?
  • How can the BIA best support tribes’ renewable energy development visions and plans?
