Tribal Electric Boats Program

From WA Department of Commerce

The Tribal Electric Boats Program (TEBP), funded by the Climate Commitment Act, awards $4,750,000 to tribes to support the electrification and hybridization of marine propulsion power for tribal fishing vessels (also including vessels for research and patrol) and related charging equipment. The program upholds tribal sovereignty, advances tribal goals for air quality improvement and climate change resilience, and supports decarbonization of marine vessels for federally recognized tribal governments and tribal enterprises. Grants include marine charging equipment. Applications may be submitted online or via email. Vendor participation is possible as subcontractors, but only tribes may apply as main applicants.
