The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has awarded $300 million in Climate Pollution Reduction Grants to 34 Tribal nations and territories. These grants, part of President Biden's Investing in America agenda, aim to cut climate pollution and accelerate the clean energy transition. The projects include installing solar arrays, improving energy efficiency, and developing electric vehicle infrastructure. This marks one of the largest climate investments in Tribal and territorial communities.
Through this project, the Spirit Lake Tribe will increase the use of renewable energy, improve climate resiliency of Tribal housing, support clean transportation and electric vehicle infrastructure, and expand waste-prevention and recycling practices in the Tribal community.
Project estimated to reduce 109,000 metric tons of CO2 between 2025 and 2030, as well as 2,178,000 metric tons of CO2 between 2025 and 2050.
