Description

The State of New Mexico Energy, Minerals and Natural Resources Department (EMNRD), through its Energy Conservation and Management Division (ECAM), is soliciting applications for the development of solar energy projects specifically for Indian Nations, Pueblos, and Tribes. The objective of this funding opportunity is to increase solar power deployment within New Mexico and foster the state's clean energy economy. The projects are expected to involve grid-tied solar photovoltaic (PV) systems coupled with energy storage solutions. These systems aim to deliver power and provide environmental and economic benefits to multiple community members, with a particular focus on low- and moderate-income residents. Projects should align with the goals of the state's shared solar program.
