#Hydropower Developer No-Show Leaves #Navajos with More Questions than Answers

Chapter officials table hydropower resolution, ask for more community info sessions as FERC seeks to end a policy blocking permits on Tribal land absent Tribal support

by #HerbYazzie, Coal-Lease Area Resident; #AdrianHerder, #TóNizhóníÁní; #TaylorMcKinnon, #CenterForBiologicalDiversity
via #CensoredNews, Nov. 21, 2025

Excerpts: #KayentaAZ— "On a cloudy, rainy Wednesday afternoon, the Kayenta Chapter held its monthly meeting where a resolution by #NatureAndPeopleFirst was first on the agenda. Impacted community members from the coal-lease area on Black Mesa (#DziłYíjiin) filled the chapter house to voice concern about the resolution. But before discussions could begin, Chapter officials tabled the resolution because the developers didn’t show up.

"Nature and People First (#NPF) are developers who are pushing #PumpedStorageHydropower (#PSH) on the #NavajoNation, particularly in the #BlackMesa region. Pumped storage pumps water uphill during low electricity prices and then releases it back downhill through generators when electricity prices are high, producing electricity and revenue. Pumped storage #hydropower, which requires huge amounts of water, is different than hydrogen, which other developers wanted piped across the Nation."

[...]

"#TóNizhóníÁní (#TNA) e-filed comments objecting to #FERC’s proposed policy reversal along with the #CenterForBiologicalDiversity, #AmericanRivers and more than a dozen #tribes across the US. 'For decades, #CoalMining on #BlackMesa has not only extracted coal but also billions of gallons of #groundwater to support the #mining operation,' wrote #AdrianHerder with Tó Nizhóní Ání. 'Energy projects that propose to use large amounts of water for #EnergyProduction should be vetted diligently.' Water access and reliability is crucial for our communities on Black Mesa and the southwest region of the United States.

"Tribal communities understand the resources and impacts by industry. Any project that proposes to use groundwater when it has been heavily impacted and in a state of recovery should not be considered for continued industry use."

"Many large cities around the world experience frequent power outages and yet have an abundance of tall buildings and experience rainfall. This represents a unique and scalable opportunity for cities to capture the intermittent rainwater at high elevation and convert the potential energy into electricity for rechargeable batteries at street level when solar panels are unproductive. Through a global data analysis, we demonstrate there are indeed numerous large cities with a non-negligible potential for harvestable hydropower using an easy-to-implement concept called Self-sufficient Harvester of Electricity-Water. In an effort to aspire toward a more sustainable way of urban living, we now urge the scientific community to reimagine large cities with tall buildings as untapped sources of hydropower whose intermittent nature could be stored in rechargeable batteries to provide a more stable backup for low-power but essential services during outages."

Renewables overtake natural gas in US power generation for first time

Renewable energy sources generated more electricity than natural gas in the United States for the first time last month, marking a significant milestone in the transition to clean energy.

According to data from Ember, renewables including #solar, #wind, #hydropower and bioenergy became the largest source of US electricity in March. Combined with #nuclear power, they supplied more than half of total generation.

Hydropower generation expected to recover despite snow drought in the West

U.S. hydropower generation is expected to increase by 5% in 2026 but remain 1.8% below the 10-year average following snow drought conditions in some states.

"Albania, Bhutan, Nepal, Paraguay, Iceland, Ethiopia and the Democratic Republic of Congo produced more than 99.7 per cent of the electricity they consumed using geothermal, hydro, solar or wind power."

💧 Hydropower is a flagship of #RenewableEnergy in the EU, but #DYK that much of our #hydropower fleet is also 'made in the EU' ?

EU companies dominate global exports and play a key role in developing high-value inventions in the sector.
