SRP – Light Up Navajo 2022
On the Navajo Nation in northeastern Arizona, some people have waited a lifetime to have electricity in their homes. To provide some of these homes with the basic needs that a home with power can deliver, SRP volunteers time, equipment and materials to a collaborative project known as “Light Up Navajo.”
During the eight-week humanitarian effort, SRP, working with the American Public Power Association (APPA) and Navajo Tribal Utility Authority (NTUA) and other utilities, set out to electrify 300 homes. The undertaking is large in scope, but the need is greater. Of the 55,000 homes located on the 27,000-square-mile Navajo Nation, approximately 14,000 homes still do not have electricity. They represent 75 percent of all U.S. households that do not have power.
