Every time utility crews from across the U.S. come to the Navajo Nation through Light Up Navajo VI, lives change as families get electricity for the very first time. I just returned from New Orleans, celebrating the Light Up Navajo progress since it started in 2019.
NTUA has created a strong partnership with utility companies throughout the U.S. These partnerships have allowed NTUA to work with outside utility companies, who send their crews to Navajo and pay for their crew’s travel and labor while working on Navajo. NTUA, meanwhile, covers the materials and equipment. This is how our families have benefited.
Right now, about 10,000 Navajo families still lack power. Our goal is to bring more utility companies into this effort—to expand access, build partnerships, and unite city and cooperative utilities working together.
I’m proud that these participating utility companies were honored for their service. Together, we’re powering hope and building a better future for Navajo families.
Thank you to all for supporting this vital work.
