Solar Energy Projects

Indigenized Energy has completed the first 'Solar for All' projects in collaboration with the Chippewa Cree Tribe in Box Elder, Montana, and the Oglala Sioux Tribe in Porcupine and Pine Ridge, South Dakota. These projects are an important step toward bringing solar energy to Indigenous communities.

Both tribes are part of the "Tribal Renewable Energy Coalition (TREC), which was awarded $135.5 million in Solar for All funding from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in 2024." The projects were fully funded by Indigenized Energy, ensuring that no costs were passed on to the tribes.

These initial projects lay "the groundwork for future solar energy development, with a focus on providing workforce training; all trainees are paid for their time and receive high-quality training at no cost." Through these efforts, Indigenized Energy aims to support tribal independence, economic growth, and environmental responsibility.
