The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide funding to the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe (UMUT) to install seven solar photovoltaic (PV) systems on Tribal government facilities in the White Mesa Community in White Mesa, Utah to help reduce electricity costs and carbon footprint. Six systems would be ground-mounted and one would be roof-mounted with total installed capacity being approximately 144 kW. Systems are planned for the Community Center, Education Center, Public Works Building, north community well, Diabetes Program Office, Environmental Programs and Vocational Rehabilitation Office, and the Wood Pile Road facility for Public Works.
