Population: 7,185

The Hopi Tribe is exploring a number of options for utility-scale solar PV development. Several proposed projects have been presented at the Hopi Tribal Council, as recently as fall 2013. The Council has not voted to partner with any developer to date.

Over the past several years, the Tribe performed wind resource assessment in Kykostmovi and on a ranch that the tribe purchased near Clear Creek. The tribe does not have plans to pursue wind development at this time.

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