The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Indian Energy Policy and Programs invites you to participate in an interactive webcast designed specifically for Tribes and Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) staff to provide information on developing geothermal resources on tribal lands. This webcast will provide an overview of:

  • Financing options and strategies 
All attendees will be able to ask questions throughout the webcast. Invitees include Tribes in California, Nevada, and New Mexico that have identified geothermal resources, as well as BIA staff that could be involved in the approval of geothermal development agreements.
