Colorado River Indian Tribes

Population: 7,077

Size: 389 sq. mi.

Median Household Income: $27,925

The Colorado River Indian Tribes are not pursuing any renewable energy development. They receive electricity from a hydroelectric power allocation from the Colorado River. They also are in the process of protesting the utility-scale Genesis solar PV project on BLM land about 30 miles west of their tribal reservation due to concerns about the installation’s impact on cultural archaeological sites.

This information was gathered from web searchers and conversations with tribal representatives. The census data was found online and represents 2010 figures.
