SENECA ENVIRONMENTAL
Working to equitably deploy and invest in innovative
climate solutions that heal the Earth.
Seneca Environmental is a division of Seneca Holdings, which delivers over $500M in products and services annually.
Wholly owned and controlled by the Seneca Nation, we provide income to support the on-territory needs of Seneca Nation members. We provide innovative climate solutions for Native nations, corporations, and underserved communities across the U.S.
Seneca Environmental is proud to have been selected as the first Preferred Provider for the Alliance for Tribal Clean Energy, an Indigenous-led nonprofit organization offering no-cost capacity-building support to tribal nations. As one of just a few tribally owned renewable energy development and services companies in the nation, we are ideally positioned to work with Native communities in an equitable and respectful way.
Seneca Environmental is honored to have won the first-ever solicitation for a tribal majority-owned business to sell energy attribute certificates (EACs) to the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA). The EACs will come from generation resources that qualify as carbon pollution-free electricity (CFE), enabling 185 federal buildings across 12 states to use 100% clean electricity.
We are proud to join Clean Energy Buyers Institute and other industry leaders as signatories of the Beyond the Megawatt Principles for Purpose-Driven Energy Procurement. Together, we can maximize impact of our climate action goals through environmental sustainability, resilience, and social equity.
We are honored that TIME included Seneca Environmental in its 2023 inaugural TIME100 Climate list, which recognizes the 100 most innovative leaders driving business to climate action. TIME recognized us because of our company’s unique business model, which generates profits for a Native community while also helping other Tribes, Pueblos, and Indigenous groups meet their energy and sovereignty goals.

We were impressed by Seneca’s willingness to explore different solutions to address Cargill’s needs. Most companies bring us a solution that they want to implement, but Seneca started by hearing what we were looking for and finding a solution that worked for us and our many stakeholders. The Seneca team has been very patient and flexible working with our large company.”
“This is a very exciting moment where a policy provision that has been waiting to be implemented for almost 20 years is finally becoming a reality. As part of this Administration’s renewed focus on Native policies and programs, GSA was empowered to take on the complexities of implementing this provision. This is a historic milestone that we hope will inspire even more progress across the federal community, including with our partners such as DOE and DoD, to create further opportunities for tribally owned businesses.”

“The Seneca Environmental team is a dream to work with, bringing deep expertise in the solar industry and understanding of Tribal community needs and political processes. We are grateful that we could lean on their support at all stages throughout the development of a solar + storage resilience hub at a Native School.”
“Seneca Environmental brought an incredibly valuable perspective to the workshop and white paper as a tribally owned clean energy developer. They are demonstrating that tribes are not only positioned to benefit from the energy transition but have a leading role to play nationally and beyond in developing innovative climate solutions for all.”
