Clean Energy for Nevada's Tribes

The Nevada Clean Energy Fund partners with Nevada's Tribes to enable them to identify funding for beneficial clean energy project opportunities that meet their critical needs and advance their energy sovereignty. NCEF provides targeted technical assistance and education to Nevada’s Tribes on clean energy projects and federal funding opportunities, and, where appropriate, supports and partners with Tribes to apply for and implement funds. This includes helping Tribes access the Nevada Clean Energy Fund's Solar for All and Clean School Bus programs, apply to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Community Change Grants opportunity, and access Home Electrification Rebate formula grants from the U.S. Department of Energy. NCEF supports Tribes in pursuing home energy upgrades that reduce Tribal member's energy costs and help them live in a safer environment, local solar and storage projects that boost resilience and generate revenue opportunities, electric school buses that improve local air quality, and other beneficial clean energy opportunities. 

Nevada is home to 28 Nevada Tribes, bands, and colonies with approximately 1,500 square miles of land. Learn more about Nevada's Tribes here.
