REPP to Share Energy Data Findings with PN Community

PAWNEE, Okla. — Community members and "Energy Champions" of the REPP Sensor Program are invited to attend an upcoming online presentation highlighting key findings from the Rural Energy Pilot Program (REPP), a collaborative initiative focused on understanding household energy use and identifying opportunities to improve energy efficiency across the Pawnee community.


The Energy Data Findings presentation will be held on Thursday, July 23, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. The event is presented online by The University of Oklahoma in partnership with the Pawnee Nation Housing Authority, the Pawnee Nation, and the Rural Energy Pilot Program.


During the presentation, project leaders will share insights collected through Emporia Vue energy monitoring sensors, which have been used to better understand residential energy consumption. The findings are expected to help inform future energy planning, identify opportunities for cost savings, and support long-term sustainability initiatives within the community.


Although the presentation will be delivered online, community members are invited to gather at the PNHA Community Center, 551 Harrison Street, where participants can watch the presentation together, enjoy a meal, and learn more about how the Rural Energy Pilot Program is helping build a smarter and more energy-efficient future.


In addition to the presentation, attendees will have the opportunity to win door prizes, making the event both informative and engaging for participants.


The Rural Energy Pilot Program continues to emphasize the value of community participation in advancing energy resilience and sustainability. Data collected through the program provides valuable insights that can guide future decisions, improve housing energy performance, and support stronger communities.

What's Next for the REPP Grant?

Updates Coming Soon!!

Pawnee Nation Rural Energy Pilot Program (REPP)

The Pawnee Nation was awarded 2.6 million dollars to promote renewable energy, geothermal and to implement a sensor placement study throughout our community. The PN Housing Authority is a stakeholder or partner with the Nation along with others that will help to meet project goals during six phases of the project.

REPP GRANT Project PHASES

Phase 1

Phase 1

Phase 1

Phase 1 focuses on the accepted standards for project management: Initiating, Planning, Executing, Monitoring & Control, and Closing. 

Phase 2

Phase 1

Phase 1

Phase 2 focuses on community planning and capacity building involving three elements: Outreach, Education, and Job Training. 

Phase 3

Phase 1

Phase 3

Phase 3 of the project incorporates the installation of energy sensors that include smart home thermostats.  A crucial step that ensures that the pre-impact baseline can be established early in the Project term.  

Phase 4

Phase 4

Phase 3

Phase 4 continues the process of deployment of DER infrastructure elements throughout the community.  The utility grid will be required to undergo a full engineering design review to ensure that the power lines can support the level of energy that the Community Solar Garden Array can generate in a peak generation period. 

Phase 5

Phase 4

Phase 5

Phase 5 is when the operational phase planning begins early on after phase one is complete.  There are several tasks that are part of operations.  These include: Interconnection and/or Net-Metering Agreements, Community Education & Job Training, Operational Support System, and DES Membership. 

Phase 6

Phase 4

Phase 5

Phase 6 is the final phase of the project and is the result of the cumulative data that will be collected through the sensors, DER statistics, and operational support systems.

The Rural Energy Pilot Program is an energy transition platform designed to assist with the clean and sustainable energy transition of Pawnee.  Providing the Nation with more diverse energy options. 


Sensors collect real time data on where energy is being consumed which enables users to pinpoint over-consumption of electricity.  The thermostats allow you to program temperatures to save energy and money when you're not home. 


The sensors will be attached to your electric panel and appliances.  The thermostats will be installed in your house. 


A licensed electrician will professionally install the sensors and thermostats. 


Yes.  The sensors will require Wi-Fi access from your home to collect the data.  There will also be a privacy form signed between the head of household and the REP Program.



Email kameron.brown@pawneenationhousing.org or call the Housing Authority at 918-762-3454.


The sensors will give you real time data to determine where energy is being consumed in your home.  This program will help you make the most energy efficient weatherization choice for your home. 


Requirements: 18 years of age or older, willing and able to travel,  and have the entrepreneurial spirit 


Program:  Eight individuals will be chosen to go up to Pacific Northwest College where they will be certified in solar panel installation and construction. This certification can also lead to business opportunities down the line.
