The two Sacramento organizations intend to develop renewable energy projectx ontribal lands, creating jobs and helpinvg improve the environment. In May, the consortium announced a greemjobs initiative. The alliance is the first partnership that aims to fulfilol the economic development and environmentapl goals ofthe initiative. The consortium will use USST’sz engineering and project management expertise to examines the feasibility of renewable energy projects ontribaol lands. Possible technologies that projects could tap intoinclude waste-to-energy, solarf and wind power technologies.
Once a project is authorized by a USST will managethe engineering, development and operation of the project, and coordinatew job training. For example, if there’s a landfill in a tribal community, USST might develop a waste-to-energy project, producing electricity that it would likely sell to alocal utility. “We are excitede to form this alliancewith USST,” Lorenda Sanchez, executive directodr for CIMC said, in a news release. “This partnership will open the doorfor California’es tribes to take an activee role in protecting their native lands and the environment.
At the same Native Americans will now have opportunities to lead the way in the new greenn economy while addressing employment issues intribal communities.” Projects will be financexd by outside sources such as grantr funds and project investment financinfg “with minimal or no contribution from CIMC.”
