The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide federal funding to Ho Chunk Inc. to implement energy efficiency measures and expand their solar power infrastructure on the Winnebago Reservation.
Activities associated with the proposed project would include procurement, installation, interconnection, and operations and maintenance (O & M) of 29kW of solar arrays at the Live Work building in Ho Chunk Village located in Winnebago Nebraska. This installation would be comprised of 100 roof-mounted solar panels and would be supplemented with the installation of a small solar thermal heating unit on the south face of the building. All equipment would be installed on existing structures and no change in the use, mission or operation of those facilities is anticipated as a result of this effort. The only permit required for this work is an electrical permit required to perform final interconnections per state standards.
