Developer proposes solar project in W.S.
Tribal officials are discuss
ing the possibility o f a solar
energy development project
on the reservation.
A d ev elo p e r has ap
proached the tribe about de
veloping a 300-kilowatt solar
project on a two-acre parcel
near the C redit enterprise
building.
The developer would lease
the property for a fee paid
to the tribes. The developer
w ould sell the energy to a
power company.
The developer would re
ceive a tax credit fo r this
project.
After 15 years, the tribes
would become the owners o f
the facilities, and could use
the power to off-set energy
costs at the adm inistration
building, said Jim M anion,
manager o f Power and Wa
ter Enterprises.
The tribes are not consid
ering developing this project
on its own, Manion said, be
cause the tribes have no fed
eral tax liability. So there is
no tax incentive for the tribes,
he said.

the other hand has the incen
tiv e to p ro c e e d w ith th e
project, and the tribes could
also see a b enefit through
lease payments, and owner
ship after 15 years.
New technology would be
involved in the solar energy
farm. A robotic device would
monitor the solar cells, direct
ing to the best configuration
for maximum solar exposure.
As stated in the project

“The developer will main
tain the panels and will train
personnèl to take over main
ten an c e. T h e p an els are
placed on a railing system and
a robot will travel along the
rail to adjust each panel for
angle and direction.”
This project is in the com
m ent period, and is pending
before the Land Use Com
mittee. A description would
also be submitted to the Inte

A rt premier at casino
Indian H ead Casino
will host an art premier
in O ctober featuring the
work o f Byron Kalama.
The exhibit will be in
the Salmon King Shop at
the casino. The premier
re c ep tio n is from 5-8
p.m. on Friday, O ct. 4.
There will be music by
local artists.
Kalama was inspired
in his art by the basketry
and beadwork he saw as
a youth. “I am also a
clothing printer and cus
tom designer,” he said.
Drawing and painting are
the crafts he practices to
make a living.
“I sell my work locally
and travel to various pow
wows,” he said. “I am a
self-taught artist for over
35 years, but still consider
myself a student o f art.”
