As a cooperative, we care about the communities we serve. We're proud to support Native and Indigenous communities, including our partnership with the Navajo Tribal Utility Authority - NTUA on the Light Up Navajo project. This three-year commitment connects volunteer line workers to provide electricity to homes on the Navajo reservation. ⚡️ Light Up Navajo ⚡️ With over 13,000 homes on the reservation without electricity, this crucial initiative brings power to families--allowing children to study under proper lighting and families to refrigerate food and medicine. Recently, CoBank associates visited the Navajo Nation, meeting families who shared stories of newfound conveniences, like enjoying their first hot cup of coffee from a coffeemaker, and peace of mind being able to cool and heat their homes to stay safe throughout the changing seasons. This year, Light Up Navajo powered over 200 homes, reflecting our mission to ensure every American, no matter how rural, has access to essential utilities and a high quality of life.
