NESCO

Our Services

NESCO delivers the full lifecycle of tribal energy work — feasibility, design, financing, construction, and monitoring — so your Nation works with one accountable team instead of a dozen vendors. Tap any service below for what’s included, how we approach it, and what to expect.

In Depth

How we help Tribal Nations

The foundation of everything we do. We assess your facilities’ consumption patterns, identify the highest-impact opportunities, and produce a tailored Energy Plan — a prioritized, fundable roadmap you can act on at your own pace.

What’s included

  • Facility-by-facility usage analysis
  • Utility rate & bill review
  • Savings & resilience opportunity ranking
  • Technology & phasing roadmap

The tribal difference

  • Aligned to your Nation’s sovereignty & budget goals
  • Built for tribal governance & decision timelines
  • Capacity-building so your team stays in control

What to expect: a clear, plain-language plan you can take to council — with sequencing, rough costs, and funding paths identified.

Funding tie-in: assessments often qualify for DOE Tribal Energy and state program support — we flag what your plan is eligible for from day one.

The cheapest, fastest savings come from using less. Before adding new generation, we cut waste across lighting, HVAC, and building systems — lowering bills and shrinking the size (and cost) of any solar or storage you add later.

What’s included

  • LED & lighting controls retrofits
  • HVAC optimization & controls
  • Building envelope & load reduction
  • Measurement & verification of savings

The tribal difference

  • Prioritized for casinos, health & gov facilities
  • Minimal disruption to operations
  • Savings documented for reinvestment

What to expect: measurable utility-bill reductions, often within the first billing cycles after work is complete.

Funding tie-in: efficiency upgrades frequently qualify for utility rebates and incentive programs we help you capture.

Clean power generated on your own land. We integrate solar PV and other renewables — engineered for long-term performance and ready to pair with storage and EV charging — to reduce reliance on the utility grid.

What’s included

  • Rooftop, ground-mount & carport solar
  • Solar-plus-storage system design
  • Utility interconnection management
  • Production monitoring

The tribal difference

  • Sited to respect land & cultural priorities
  • Ownership structures that build tribal equity
  • Workforce opportunities during build

What to expect: a system sized to your goals — whether that’s bill savings, resilience, or maximum on-site generation.

Funding tie-in: elective-pay tax credits and grants can cover a significant share of solar cost for tribes — we build that into the financial plan.

Power that stays on when the grid goes down. We design battery storage and islandable microgrids that deliver savings, reduce emissions, and keep your most critical facilities running through outages — the backbone of true energy resilience.

What’s included

  • Battery energy storage systems (BESS)
  • Islandable microgrids for critical loads
  • Real-time monitoring & smart controls
  • Resilience & backup-duration modeling

The tribal difference

  • Prioritizes health, safety & emergency facilities
  • Supports sovereignty & disaster resilience goals
  • Designed to grow as your needs grow

What to expect: a clear picture of which facilities stay powered, for how long, and at what cost — before anything is built.

Funding tie-in: resilience and microgrid projects are strong candidates for federal tribal energy financing and resilience grants.

The EV transition is underway, and NESCO helps your community get ahead of it. We plan, install, operate, and maintain charging networks that serve your community, employees, and visitors — powered by your own clean energy where possible.

What’s included

  • Level 2 destination & Level 3 DC fast charging
  • Renewable-powered, smart-managed networks
  • Billing & access management
  • Operations & maintenance support

The tribal difference

  • Revenue options for casinos & destinations
  • Fleet electrification for tribal departments
  • Integrated with on-site solar & storage

What to expect: charging infrastructure that’s future-ready, reliable, and — where it fits — a new revenue stream.

Funding tie-in: EV charging is supported by a range of federal and state programs we help you pursue.

The best Energy Plan only matters if it’s affordable. We help you navigate incentives, grants, tax credits, and financing so the roadmap is achievable — and we align the funding stack with your Nation’s priorities and capacity.

What’s included

  • Grant identification & application support
  • Tax credit & elective-pay strategy
  • Performance contracting & financing options
  • Phasing to match available funding

The tribal difference

  • Deep familiarity with DOE Tribal Energy programs
  • Structures that build tribal ownership & equity
  • No pressure to over-commit before funding lands

What to expect: a funding plan that maximizes outside dollars and minimizes what your Nation pays out of pocket.
