Tribal & Community Projects
The experience our team brings to every engagement — drawn from years of hands-on development leadership across utility-scale infrastructure and Tribal energy initiatives.
Spirit Lake Nation — Wind + Tribal Utility Authority · North Dakota
Spirit Lake had renewable energy ambitions but lacked the technical framework and federal funding strategy to move forward. Our team developed a comprehensive DOE grant application for a 1.5 MW wind project alongside a full Tribal Utility Authority roadmap — covering energy analysis, organizational structure, legal and regulatory framework, and distributed generation options. The engagement gave the Nation a clear, fundable path toward energy self-determination.
Mentasta Traditional Council — HUD Infrastructure Grant · Alaska
Developed a successful HUD ICDBG-CARES grant application supporting community infrastructure investment for one of Alaska's remote Native villages.
Taos Pueblo — Energy Feasibility + TUA Framework · New Mexico
Taos Pueblo sought to understand their energy options and the viability of establishing a tribally-owned utility. We delivered a full energy feasibility analysis, TUA organizational framework, and BIA grant application support — translating complex regulatory and financial concepts into a practical roadmap the tribal leadership could act on.
Nambe Pueblo — Solar Financial Modeling + TUA Planning · New Mexico
Supported Nambe Pueblo through solar project financial modeling and the early-stage development of their Tribal Utility Authority (TUA) processes. Delivered a financial model incorporating project debt structures and a detailed TUA process map outlining ideal-state operations.
Sitka Tribe of Alaska — Infrastructure Feasibility · Alaska
Delivered a comprehensive infrastructure feasibility study for the Sitka Tribe, evaluating options and providing actionable recommendations to support long-term community planning.
Middletown Rancheria — CA Challenge Grant + EMDP · California
Supported Middletown Rancheria through a California Challenge Grant application and subsequent Energy Mineral Development Program — helping the Tribe explore their energy and broadband options, and begin development planning.
Circle Native Community — Broadband Feasibility · Alaska
Led broadband infrastructure feasibility and a successful NTBG grant application for a remote Native community with limited connectivity. Delivered a final report documenting findings, funding outcomes, and a deployment roadmap.
