Energizing Indigenous Communities from Within

At Tribal Energy Alternatives (TEA), we believe all communities have a right to accessible and affordable renewable energy. Since 2010, our Construction Program has worked side-by-side with Federally Recognized Tribes across the U.S. to handle everything from developing, funding, to installaing projects. By keeping our approach community-centered, we ensure every project reduces local energy costs, offers practical hands-on training, and opens up new energy career paths for tribal members.

TEA has worked with over 30 Tribal Nations across 20 states

TEA works with tribes to install solar electric systems for tribal members and community facilities. These projects can range from single rooftop solar installations to large-scale commercial projects that meet the energy needs of the whole community. In addition to providing a source of clean, local, renewable energy, these projects typically reduce energy bills for households by 75-90%, savings that can be re-invested in their local tribal economy.
