In November 2019 the Navajo Generating Station, the West’s largest coal power plant and largest point-source of carbon emissions, produced its last megawatt-hour of electricity. This happened despite four years of pro-coal federal policies and down-to-the-wire efforts to keep the plant open.
Dr. David Hurlbut, a senior analyst at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), will discuss what the closure of NGS means for the long-term decarbonization of the electricity sector. He will also share behind-the-scenes stories of how decisions were made and will discuss efforts by the Navajo Nation and Hopi Tribe to transition to a post-NGS local economy.
