Renewable Energy

Renewable energy is a “huge” area of economic growth in the United States, says Karin Wadsack, program manager for the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), specializing in grid-scale tribal energy. Wadsack predicts Arizona will be seeing a lot more interest from wind and solar farm developers in the near future. “Landowners can do background research and find out a lot more about the industry to put themselves in the driver’s seat,” she says, as renewable energy companies continue to look to northern Arizona for potential sites and engage in conversations with ranchers and other large landowners.
