About 10Power
We are committed to supporting Native American Tribal Nations in the Just Transition, helping communities to build, own and operate renewable energy projects.
10Power works directly with communities to develop renewable energy projects that promote workforce development through a gender equity lens.
As a mixed-race, woman-owned, and certified ‘Best in the World’ B-Corp, 10Power works directly with underserved communities that lack equal access to electricity. We provide the essential components—project development, financing, capacity building, and resources—to create sustainable, community-driven renewable energy projects that offer long-term benefits.
Our goals at 10Power are to achieve energy sovereignty and climate justice while building projects that support livelihoods and essential services. We are committed to providing clean water, health services, agriculture, job creation, gender equity, regenerative economics, education, access to technology, and ecosystem restoration. Through these initiatives, we aim to create regenerative and thriving communities.
