The Caddo Nation of Oklahoma was awarded a $130,944 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Indian Affairs under the Tribal Energy Development Capacity (TEDC) Grants program (CFDA 15.148). The grant funding will support a feasibility study to assess the viability of developing renewable energy resources, such as solar photovoltaic (PV) systems or a single wind turbine, to provide a secure, reliable, and resilient power supply for the Caddo Nation community in Binger, Oklahoma.

The feasibility study will analyze the community's current energy loads, identify opportunities for solar generation to meet those loads, and quantify the financial savings and environmental impact over time. The grant will also allow the Caddo Nation to investigate the feasibility of a utility-scale wind or solar project with the primary goal of generating revenue. Deploying a renewable energy project on tribal land aims to improve the community's energy resilience, expand future development opportunities, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and achieve energy independence.

The caddo nation of oklahoma caddo nation seeks funding to study the feasibility of developing renewable energy resources such as solar photovoltaic PV systems or a singlewind turbine that could provide a secure reliable and resilient power supply to its community members and enterprises in binger oklahoma. Caddo nation believes that investing in energy development will enable energy sovereignty and selfdetermination and facilitate a path to improving the energy services within the caddo nation community in western oklahoma. As part of the caddo nation of oklahoma solar singlewind turbine feasibility study caddo nation would like to investigate if the installation of a communityscale solar or wind project could power tribal and community loads for an extended period. This feasibility study will analyze and model current energy loads identify opportunities for solar generation to meet the loads and quantify the financial savings and environmental impact over time. In this study caddo nation will also investigate the feasibility of a utilityscale wind or solar project with its primary goal of generating revenue. Deploying a solar array or wind turbine project on tribal land will allow caddo nation to improve the communitys energy resilience expand opportunities for future development reduce greenhouse gas emissions and achieve energy independence.
