Sen. Cramer: Department of Energy Awards $200,000 to SAGE Development Authority

BISMARCK, N.D. - The U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations (OCED) announced an award of $200,000 to SAGE Development Authority, a federally chartered Section 17 Corporation created by the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe. This award, funded through OCED's Energy Improvements in Rural or Remote Areas (ERA) Program, will support clean energy projects.

The ERA Program was established by the fully-paid-for Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. It seeks to improve the resilience, reliability, safety, availability, and environmental performance of energy systems serving the nation's rural or remote areas with populations of less than 10,000 people.
