The Washoe Tribe of Nevada and California (Tribe) would utilize DOE and cost share funds to install seven commercially available ground-mount photovoltaic (PV) solar arrays on Tribal Trust land within the three Washoe Tribal communities in Nevada, covering a total of approximately two acres ranging in size from 8 AC kW to 37.6 AC kW for a cumulative installed capacity of 161 AC kW. Specific locations with sizes for each installation are listed in the EQ1. The Tribe has completed seven other renewable energy projects, including larger ground-mount PV systems within the same general area of the Dresslerville Community. The project activities would be managed through the Washoe Environmental Protection Department (WEPD). The WEPD has successfully worked with contractors to complete similar installations of solar and wind projects in the past.
