Recalibrating Power in Energy Infrastructure Decision-Making FERC approved new policy for Hydro preliminary permits to be located on Tribal lands. FERC’s new policy makes hydropower preliminary permits for projects on Tribal lands a “no go” if the Tribe on whose land the project is proposed opposes the permit. FERC’s hydro preliminary permitting policy extends to Tribal trust resources. FERC also denied four hydro preliminary permits at the February Commission meeting that the Navajo Nation opposed. At the meeting FERC Chairman Willie L. Phillips reinforced the unique relationship between Indian Tribes and the United States as recognized in the new policy. The Chairman pointed out that Tribes be treated with the same deference given to Federal land-managing agencies and other affected Federal agencies that oppose proposals. Chairman Phillips encouraged energy project sponsors to work closely with Tribes to shape successful proposals for hydroelectric projects. Tribal nations not only have a unique relationship with the United States, they have occupied the Americas the longest and have an intimate relationship with the land. They bring deep knowledge, a wealth of experience and a unique perspective to shape the energy grid for future generations, curb global warming and combat climate change.
