The Penobscot Nation includes 2,261 members and land holdings of 118,885 acres in various parcels located throughout northern, eastern, and western Maine, including rights to waters of the Penobscot River and many of its tributaries. The tribe is located in a region that has both a cold, harsh climate and very high energy costs. The objectives of the project are to develop an energy vision that in turn will lead to a more detailed, prioritized, long-term strategic plan. Two principle objectives are: (1) for the plan to address the cost burden of their current energy situation and explore ways to make existing tribal public facilities and private residences more energy efficient, and (2) for the plan to identify renewable energy development and production opportunities, always mindful of environmental impacts. Learn more about this project or find details in the below status reports.
