The Department of Energy (DOE) awarded a $9,114,064 Cooperative Agreement under the Clean Energy Demonstrations (CFDA 81.255) program to Arizona State University (ASU) to help offset diesel-fueled generation with a solar and battery storage microgrid to serve tribal community buildings with renewable electricity. The project will train community members to operate and maintain the microgrid system, enabling expanded use of the facilities and potential future power sales. The microgrid will be the first of its kind for the Hopi Tribe and may serve as a model for additional microgrids across the tribe's villages. As a sub-award, the Hopi Utilities Corporation, a Native American-owned entity, will receive funding to implement the project, focusing on achieving resilience, sovereignty, and economic independence through community solar.
