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.
The Village of Solomon will enhance energy efficiency and lower heating expenses for Tribal households and commercial buildings in Nome, Alaska through a combination of education and targeted upgrades to heating infrastructure. These measures aim to reduce heating costs, alleviate the energy burden on a low-income and disadvantaged community, and mitigate harmful emissions.
