Seneca Environmental, the energy solutions division of Seneca Holdings owned by the Seneca Nation, has been named the first Preferred Provider for the Alliance for Tribal Clean Energy, an Indigenous-led non-profit organization supporting tribal nations in transitioning to clean energy solutions. The Alliance, with support from philanthropic partners like the Rockefeller Foundation and the Hewlett Foundation, is helping over 75 tribes develop nearly 8 GW of clean energy projects.
The Alliance’s Preferred Provider Program aims to overcome barriers to renewable energy development on Native lands, where there is significant untapped solar and wind energy potential. By connecting tribes with reputable renewable energy developers, the program helps ensure projects align with cultural values and community goals. Seneca Environmental, as the first to complete the vetting process, is praised for its dedication to building strong relationships with tribes and empowering them to drive project decisions.
Seneca Environmental, as one of the few tribally owned renewable energy companies in the nation, is well-suited to work with Native communities in an equitable and respectful manner. CEO Jeff Ellis expressed honor in being selected as a Preferred Provider, highlighting the company’s commitment to supporting tribes in achieving their energy goals and economic independence. The partnership with the Alliance for Tribal Clean Energy demonstrates Seneca Environmental’s dedication to advancing clean energy initiatives in Native communities.
