Nez Perce Tribe
Energy Group
One of the on going projects that the Energy Group is taking the lead role in is a Waste to Energy Plant. The group has discussed several options for a site. One of these is Tribal Unit 45. Link to our Biomass Technology presentation to see how this plant will work and the impact it will have on our environment.
The Nez Perce Tribe Energy Group has selected TSS Consultants (TSS) to prepare a feasibility studyfor waste to energy projects on the Reservation. These projects would utilize sustainable and economically available waste sourced from the region located within and tributary to the Nez Perce Reservation. In addition these prospective projects would be scaled appropriately to meet electrical and thermal energy needs of select community buildings (e.g., tribal administration buildings), residents or other identified needs. Currently targeted locations for the waste to energy facilities include the communities of Lapwai, Orofino, Kamiah and Kooskia. However the targeted locations may be modified based on information from the energy load assessment (currently underway) and the site review/waste resource assessment tasks that will be completed as part of the feasibility study.
