A feasibility study evaluates site conditions, solar potential, community energy loads, grid infrastructure, environmental requirements, and high-level cost categories. The final report provides clear recommendations on whether renewable energy is viable—and what it will take to develop it.

Most studies take 3–6 months, depending on the number of sites, data availability, and utility cooperation. We build timelines around Tribal schedules and keep leadership updated throughout the process.

You’ll receive a full feasibility report, preliminary system designs, modeled performance scenarios, cost categories, environmental/permitting notes, and clear recommendations for next steps, including funding pathways.

Not always. The purpose of the study is to determine if the project is technically, financially, and logistically viable. Sometimes the answer is “not yet,” and the report will outline what needs to change for the project to become feasible in the future.

We help gather what’s available, request missing data from utilities, and use industry tools to fill gaps. Lack of perfect data won’t stop the study—we build accurate models either way.

Yes. While not a full O&M plan, the study outlines expected maintenance needs, workforce opportunities, and what skill sets the Tribe may want to develop for long-term energy independence.

The report becomes the roadmap for next steps—grant applications, detailed engineering, environmental reviews, procurement planning, and eventual construction. GS3 can stay involved through every later phase if the Tribe chooses.
