PAGE – The Navajo Generating Station’s newest logo is based on the Navajo Nation seal and it encourages its 520 plant workers to finish strong.
“It’s not truly the Navajo seal but it does represent the Navajo seal,” said Joe Frazier, manager of NGS in LeChee, Arizona. “The arrowheads represent the number of years (43) this place has been in service. You can see (the hardhats of) six workers in there that are arm in arm encircling NGS.”
Frazier says that is the logo to finish strong as the five power plant owners – Arizona Public Service, Bureau of Reclamation, NV Energy, Salt River Project, and Tucson Electric Power – are planning to close it by Dec. 22, 2019, a move that could leave hundreds of NGS and Peabody Western Coal’s Kayenta Mine workers without work.
“We can keep the lights on through 2019,” Frazier said, “then we have five years to shut it down or decommission it.”
During the business conference at the Courtyard by Marriott early last week, Frazier gave an update on the plant and showed the “finish strong” logo, which he says is a testament to the work and safety ethic that plant workers have done so and to do so every day.
