The Biden administration has announced a plan to allocate $366 million to fund 17 renewable energy projects in rural areas and on Native American reservations across the United States. These projects aim to expand access to clean energy sources such as solar, battery storage, and hydropower in regions where electricity can be expensive and unreliable.
One of the key areas of focus is the Navajo Nation, where approximately 20% of homes lack access to electricity. Additionally, nearly a third of homes with electricity on Native American reservations experience monthly outages, highlighting the urgent need for improved energy infrastructure in these communities.
