Oglala Omaste 2020
- Oglala Sioux (Lakota) Housing Authority, Pine Ridge, SD (United States); Oglala Sioux (Lakota) Housing
Oglala Lakota Housing Authority (OLHA), the tribally designated housing entity of the Oglala Sioux Tribe, installed solar photovoltaic (PV) systems on six tribal buildings, including the Oglala Lakota Housing Authority administration building, four Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (HUD-VASH) homes, and one Rural Innovation Fund (RIF) home. Combined, the total solar PV capacity of this project is approximately 54 kilowatts-direct current (kW-DC), offsetting an estimated 74,176 kilowatt-hours (kWh) per year and saving OLHA and tenants of the tribally owned residences approximately $$\$$$$8,226 annually. The lifetime savings of the project is estimated to be $$\$$$$380,344. The project aligns with energy goals of OLHA and the Oglala Sioux Tribe to reduce energy costs for low rent tenants and to reduce our carbon footprint; both of which are in line with Lakota values.
