Navajo Generating Station was a 2.25-gigawatt (2,250 MW), coal-fired power plant located on the Navajo Nation, near Page, Arizona, United States. This plant provided electrical power to customers in Arizona, Nevada, and California. It also provided the power for pumping Colorado River water for the Central Arizona Project, supplying about 1.5 million acre feet (1.85 km3) of water annually to central and southern Arizona. As of 2017 permission to operate as a conventional coal-fired plant was anticipated until 2017–2019,[3] and to December 22, 2044, if extended.[4] However, in 2017, the utility operators of the power station voted to close the facility when the lease expires in 2019.[5][6] In March 2019, the Navajo Nation ended efforts to buy the plant and continue running it after the lease expires.[7]
On November 18, 2019, the plant ceased commercial generation. Full decommissioning of the site is projected to take approximately three years.[8] On December 18, 2020, the three smokestacks were demolished.[9]
