Energy Development Emphasis Transition a tribe from minerals assessment to sustainable

resource development focusing on employment and income

to the Indian Mineral Owner (tribe or allottee)

Provide advice over the spectrum of scientific and

engineering responsibility that includes assessment and

modeling of natural resources, development of business

models, and long range economic analysis

Provide advice to the Indian Mineral Owner when

commercial interests and regulatory complexities arise

Strategic Approach

IEED has performed work on more than 120 energy and mineral development projects at more than 80 reservations contiguous with the lower 48 States and about 10 projects in Alaska

About 40% of IEED’s projects have a renewable energy component ─ wind, solar, biomass and/or geothermal
