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 selected application will fund the installation of a commercial-scale solar photovoltaic system and electric vehicle charging stations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the Sandia Resort and Casino, which is the largest single source of energy consumption on the Pueblo of Sandia.
Project estimated to reduce 2,100 metric tons of CO2 between 2025 and 2030, as well as 8,900 metric tons of CO2 between 2025 and 2050.
