Project location: The Project is located entirely on Navajo Nation lands in the Four Corners area and extends across the N.M./AZ border.

Coordinates: Lat 36.811, Lon -109.11

Preliminary FERC permit ID: P-15034

Water body or water source required: San Juan River

Nominal head and L/h ratio: Nominal head 987 meters, L/h ratio 10.80

Electricity markets in which the project would participate: California Independent System Operator and Western Energy Imbalance Market

Tribal lands with VRE generation that could be served by the project: The entire Navajo Nation would be served by the Carrizo project. VRE generation potential is 10,000 acres or more.

• Accelerate the Project development activities.
• Address the multitude of complex questions related to decarbonized grid architectures
• Demonstrate the feasibility of Carrizo Project based on cost, design, and functionality
• The Carrizo Project can provide substantial jobs and powerful direct and off-shoot economic development opportunities that are robustly welcomed at all Tribal levels.
