The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide federal funding to Ho Chunk Inc. to install 286kW of solar photovoltaic (PV) energy at ten proposed clean energy project locations and replace the heads on two previously installed wind turbines at an 11th location that will combine to reduce the associated retail electrical consumption at the Winnebago Reservation by 27%.
Activities associated with the proposed project would include procurement, installation, interconnection, and operations and maintenance (O & M) of 10 separate PV arrays as well as the replacement of two wind turbine heads. Procurement would be organized from the Ho Chunk offices in Winnebago, NE. Installation of solar arrays and related O & M activities would be completed at ten locations on the Winnebago Reservation.
