One of Nation's Largest Wind-Powered Generating Plants To Be Built On Navajo Nation Land

Navajo Nation President Joe Shirley and Citizens Energy Chairman Joseph P. Kennedy II, signed an agreement to built a windfarm in northeast Arizona on tribal land.  The project looks to be one of the largest in the nation, after 2 years of planning and development work on the project.
                                                                                                                        

The agreement marks another step in the Nation's march towards utilizing renewable sources to generate electricity.  Plans call for at least a 500-megawatt facility - enough to power 100,000 homes, using up to 300 towers to harness the wind that is prevalent in the area.
