Navajo Leaders Extend Lease on Navajo Generating Station

Navajo Nation

Navajo Nation President Russell Begaye and Vice President Jonathan Nez have signed a lease extension for the Navajo Generating Station near Page, Arizona. In a statement, Begaye hailed the agreement, saying it gives the nation the capability of producing and selling renewable energy. The lease extension accords the tribe the use of a significant portion of the power plant’s transmission capabilities.
