Resources & Funding Opportunities

The Biden Administration has made it a priority to support the clean energy transition through funding in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) and the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA). Further, New Mexico is offering many opportunities for Tribes to be involved in state planning and receive funding. However, we know it is overwhelming to sort through all of the information. Sovereign Energy reviews and consolidates all opportunities that may serve the energy goals of your community.
