The Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska, through their affiliated economic development entity Ho-Chunk, Inc; their affiliated non-profit Ho-Chunk Community Development Corporation; and an additional project partner Nebraska Renewable Energy Systems conducted a community scale renewable energy project on their reservation in Nebraska. Over the two-year project period, we installed PV Solar systems on ten tribally owned commercial/retail/office facilities, which included both six roof mounted and four pole mount installations. The project was undertaken as a part of the Tribe’s broader initiative to increase renewable energy production on the reservation, reduce the Tribe’s financial obligations for purchasing energy, and lessen our reliance upon outside sources of energy to meet our basic needs. The project enabled us to formalize and strengthen community collaborations and build our capacity to pursue additional renewable energy opportunities that will enhance our energy sovereignty.
