Multiple senators and the Department of Energy have announced funding for various clean energy projects in tribal communities. Senator Cortez Masto secured funding for the Solar for All program in Nevada. Senator Sinema allocated $7.6 million for electricity access on the Navajo Nation and $87,570,000 for solar projects in Arizona tribal communities. The Department of Energy is funding 19 projects with over $78 million to expand clean energy solutions in rural areas. Representative Dina Titus announced $1.76 million for clean energy development in Nevada to support the goal of a net-zero economy by 2050.
Nevada will be receiving $1.76 million from the #BipartisanInfrastructureLaw to support clean energy development and implementation. I championed this bill in the House to help the U.S. reach its goal of a net-zero economy by 2050. We are well on our way!
With over $78M, we’re funding 19 projects across 12 states and 13 Tribal nations to develop and deploy sustainable clean energy solutions and expand access to reliable and affordable energy in rural and remote communities across the nation. https://t.co/rO4JvV2Vvv

Solar energy should be affordable and accessible for Tribal communities. That's what the Solar for All program is helping to do in Nevada. I'm proud to have secured this funding to ensure every community in this state can be part of our clean energy future. https://t.co/j3B8b2kh03
