Navajo Generating Station




Navajo Generating Station is a coal-fired powerplant with a power of 2280 megawatts at Page, Arizona, USA.
Navajo Generating Station has three 236 meter high chimneys, which are the tallest structures in Arizona.
This plant provides electrical power to customers in Arizona, Nevada, and California.
It was assembled during the 1970s and began producing commercial power in 1975.
The construction costs were $650 million, with an additional $420 million for new environmental scrubbers.

The power plant is served by coal mined at the Kayenta Mine near Kayenta, Arizona and hauled by the Black Mesa and Lake Powell railroad.
The Kayenta mine ships about 8 million tons of coal each year to the power plant.

The Navajo Plant emits 19.9 million tons of CO2 per year, placing it among the top 12 "dirtiest" power plants in the U.S.
