Equity in Action: Maximize Your Impact

By doing business with us, you will directly support the future of the Seneca Nation, a Native community that has been deeply impacted by systemic injustice yet has a strong legacy of resilience and Earth-healing relationship building. At Seneca Environmental, we’re helping to support and grow this legacy now and far into the future.

This video grounds our work in the concrete actions the Seneca Nation is taking to help its members, and the community benefits we are helping to create.

Project Enhancements

Our values compel us to design projects that are appropriate to the land and community where they are located. We develop projects that provide Earth-healing benefits beyond just megawatt-hours. We call these +1s.

These project enhancements include community consultation, workforce training, protecting and nurturing water & soil health, and combining solar arrays with agriculture, all to maximize the positive environmental and social benefits of our projects.

How We Can Help You

Seneca Environmental provides multiple options to help our private-sector partners achieve climate and ESG goals authentically and equitably.

Feasibility

We work to understand your energy goals, timeline, and priorities. We then present opportunities for your company to deploy cost-effective renewable energy assets and to procure clean energy, in partnership with Seneca.

Project Development

Our team develops, builds, and operates renewable energy projects that meet our clients’ goals and expectations. We can deliver turnkey systems or provide power without upfront costs, via a power purchase agreement (PPA).

Project Planning

We design energy assets, identify financing options, and provide economic analysis of bill savings. Beyond just the megawatt-hours, we present opportunities to make your project stand out through our +1 Project Enhancement analysis.

RECs and Wholesale Energy

We are sourcing renewable energy certificates (RECs) for customers and are developing projects to sell wholesale electricity. Share your goals with us (location, size, timing) and we will work to deliver projects tailored to your needs.

Our RECs are uniquely impactful.

RECs sold by a tribally owned business can directly support a Native Nation’s language preservation, health and community services, and long-term economic development.

  • Address emissions by offsetting your facility’s entire energy load.

  • Amplify your impact with RECs that have social and other high-impact benefits.

  • Support Seneca Environmental in building our capacity to provide power and RECs to corporations, and growing the volume of high-impact RECs sourced from tribal renewable energy projects.

Why Seneca Environmental?

We provide authentic ESG strategies tailored to your goals.

  • We’re different from other renewable energy developers

    Our tribal ownership and unique development approach maximize the impact of your climate spending across environmental and social metrics.

  • We offer competitive pricing

    We leverage tribal benefits to save our customers money. Tribally owned companies are for-profit companies but operate like nonprofits, providing robust competition along with an avenue for doing well while doing good.

  • Tribal ownership and empowerment

    Working with us supports your company’s goals for supplier diversification — and your spending directly benefits a Native community, while helping build a tribally owned enterprise and minority business enterprise.

  • Established partnerships

    Our partners enable us to deliver top-quality energy projects anywhere in the U.S. We can also help you establish key partnerships to meet your ESG goals.

What Our Clients Are Saying About Us

Cargill

“Cargill partnered with Seneca Environmental to address our Scope 2 emissions as well as our supplier diversity targets. 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.”

— Peter Dahm, Sustainability Director, Operations and Natural Resources, Global Impact Team, Cargill

U.S. General Services Administration

“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.”

— Julie Ramey, General Services Administration Tribal Liaison in the Office of the Administrator

Natural Resources Research Institute

“I have had the pleasure of working with Seneca Environmental on tribal engagement efforts in Minnesota and can speak to their dedication, professionalism, and respect for the mission of supporting tribal ownership of renewable energy assets. Seneca Environmental has provided important support to our effort to engage Minnesota tribes in a project focused on modernizing the iron and steel industry in our region.”

— Rolf T. Weberg, Executive Director, Natural Resources Research Institute, University of Minnesota

Pueblo de San Ildefonso

“San Ildefonso Services, the economic development company of the Pueblo de San Ildefonso, has been working with Seneca Environmental to further our renewable energy project. We appreciate the good work of Seneca Environmental, which has been a part of our solar development team, working with us on grant writing, and project coordination to get our solar projects funded and to help identify and coordinate key decision-makers to advance this effort. In their dealings with Pueblo staff and leadership, they have been professional and shown respect for the history and culture of the Pueblo. They have our recommendation for working with other Native communities on renewable energy projects.”

— Peter Fant, Manager, San Ildefonso Services, LLC, Pueblo de San Ildefonso

Pine Point Resilience Hub

“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.

— Sandra Kwak, CEO, Founder, 10Power
