Nuvista’s role is to speak up for, and work on behalf of, the people we are trying to help. We will have succeeded when we have attained affordable, sustainable energy choices for every community in our region.

Over the years, the organization has received funding from various sources to analyze energy issues and establish creative solutions in the Yukon-Kuskokwim (YK) Delta region. We are taking practical steps forward so that energy solutions for rural Alaska belong to us.
