Navajo Tribal Utility Authority (NTUA) and the Arizona Public Service (APS) company have partnered to extend electric services to approximately eight homes in the Navajo communities of Tuba City and Cameron. The organization received hundreds of applications from families requesting solar units from its Off-Grid Residential Solar program. These families do not have electricity and live outside of NTUA’s electric distribution service area, but some do live within APS service territory. NTUA contacted APS, who shared that its crews will be able to connect these families before the end of the year. “CARES Act resources, combined with our line extension program, will connect these families to the many comforts and conveniences of reliable energy.”
