Tribal Land - Comprehensive Energy Independence

Challenge:

A Native American tribe located in a remote area of the Midwest faces frequent power outages and high energy costs due to their dependence on diesel generators and an unreliable grid connection. The tribe aims to achieve energy independence while respecting and preserving their land’s natural beauty. 

Solution:

Amrenergy’s solution of a custom off-grid solar solution paired with a robust battery storage system, designed to meet the unique geographical and cultural needs of the tribal land. 

Implementation:

The implementation phase begins with a series of community meetings to understand the tribe’s specific needs and concerns. Amrenergy’s team conducts an environmental impact assessment to ensure the project would not harm the land’s ecosystem. 

Solar panels will be installed on non-intrusive ground mounts spread across non-arable lands, ensuring minimal disruption to the natural landscape. The system includes a comprehensive battery storage facility to store surplus energy, guaranteeing a continuous power supply. 

Desired Outcome:

The tribe achieves complete energy independence, with a 100% reduction in energy costs and a total elimination of greenhouse gas emissions from diesel generators. The new system will empower the community by providing reliable and sustainable energy, significantly improving their quality of life and economic opportunities. 

Benefits:

  • Energy Independence: Full self-sufficiency in energy production. 
  • Cultural Integrity: Respect for the land and cultural practices. 
  • Environmental Impact: Elimination of diesel use and reduction in emissions.
