PWC Connections: The Podcast

The Light Up Navajo initiative was a pilot effort to bring together volunteer crews from public power utilities across the country to connect Navajo homes to the grid. The project has extended for Light Up Navajo II and Light Up Navajo III. Even though the 2020 event was cancelled due to the pandemic, PWC helped bring electricity to homes of 300 Navajo families. Jon Rynne, Electrical Systems Chief Operating Officer, joined us to discuss the background of this project, PWC's involvement, and the award recognition from the American Public Power Association and the Navajo Tribal Utility Authority.
