Description
This project aims to install solar photovoltaic (PV) and micro-hydro on irrigation pipeline recently converted from open canals, demonstrating responsible siting of renewable energy generation using land that does not risk disturbing cultural resources. IT is anticipated that deploying solar technologies will increase the yakama nation's renewable power supply, while improving its energy resilience and reliability. Improvements in irrigation efficiency could also benefit grazing and irrigated agriculture, the area's key economic drivers. As part of its community benefits plan, the project team plans to train and hire local tribal members to ensure project dollars are reinvested and continue to circulate within the community. This project aims to create at least 10 construction jobs and 3 apprenticeships, leading to a stronger local economy and increased disposable income for the reservation. The engagement plan also incorporates local stakeholders, including local labor and community-based organizations in a manner that can impact project decisions.
