Local and regional solar energy initiatives in Nevada receive a significant boost with over $218 million in federal taxpayer funding, announced by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as part of the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund grant competition.
The Nevada Clean Energy Fund is the primary recipient, securing $156.1 million to advance its Solar for All initiative. The program plans to make solar energy accessible to marginalized communities by facilitating home installations and community projects.
Additionally, tribal nonprofit GRID Alternatives’ Western Indigenous Network Solar For All (WIN-SFA) will receive $62.5 million to extend solar access to thousands of Native American households. The funding prioritizes tribal communities in Nevada, Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah.
