Sovereign Power, an energy company that is wholly-owned by the Spokane Tribe, has big plans to expand renewable energy opportunities for the Tribe, according to a recent article in the Nonprofit Quarterly.
Jason Campbell, the CEO of Sovereign Power, emphases five areas of activity the Tribally-owned company is focused on:
Power Generation
Development of the Spokane Tribal Utility Authority
Power Marketing
Energy Storage
Legislative Affairs
Sovereign Power has already completed a 643 kW community-scale solar installation and has big plans to construct a 100 MW solar facility in the next 2-4 years.
“Energy is such a critical sector. The conversation I was able to start with the Tribal Council was a look at the energy sector as a thing they needed to vertically control.”
