Department of Energy Loan Programs:


Tribal Energy Loan Guarantee



July 8, 2020


The Department of Energy's (DOE's) Loan Programs Office (LPO) manages two loan guarantee
programs: (1) Tribal Energy Loan Guarantee Program (TELGP), the focus of this Insight; and (2) Title
XVII Innovative Technology Loan Guarantee Program, the focus of a companion CRS Insight. Table 1
provides a high-level comparison of these programs. LPO also manages the Advanced Technology
Vehicles Manufacturing (ATVM) direct loan program.

A loan guarantee is designed to reduce the financial risk of a project to a lender. As with all federal credit
programs, TELGP requires that credit subsidy costs be paid for-through appropriations, payment by the
borrower, or a combination thereof-prior to finalizing a loan guarantee agreement. The Federal Credit
ReformAct of 1990 (FCRA; Section 13201 of P.L. 101-508) requires that estimated lifetime net costs of
new loans and loan guarantees be recorded in the budget year in which the loans are disbursed (2 U.S.C
§661c). The costs of these credit programs, referred to as subsidy costs, are measured on a net present
value (NPV) basis-the value of expected future cash receipts, less expenditures adjusted, or discounted,
over time using an interest rate that is based on Treasury securities.
