Native-led renewable energy projects expand with new support
Native-led renewable energy projects are gaining momentum with support from the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act, offering Tribes tax credits covering up to 70% of costs and $20 billion in energy loans. However, challenges persist, including funding gaps, resource limitations, and infrastructure hurdles like access to transmission lines.
Organizations like SAGE, Alliance for Tribal Clean Energy, and Grid Alternatives are stepping in to provide funding, advocacy, and resources. These initiatives align with cultural values and strengthen sovereignty while building a sustainable future.

As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we exist to illuminate tribal government for everyone who cares about transparency in Native issues. Our work bridges the gap left by tribal-controlled media and non-Native, extractive journalism, providing the insights necessary for truly informed decision-making and a better quality of life. Because the consequences of restricted press freedom affect our communities every day, our trauma-informed reporting is rooted in a deep, firsthand expertise.
