Nearly seven years after the first closure of a large coal-fired power plant in northern Arizona, state and tribal governments are collaborating to improve economic resilience in the Four Corners region. Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs, Hopi Tribe Chairman Lamar Keevama and Navajo Nation President Buu Nygren on Aug. 11 signed a memorandum of understanding to enhance economic resilience for Arizona communities in the region that have been affected by the coal industry’s decline over the past two decades.

The California Energy Commission unanimously approved the 2026-2030 Electric Program Investment Charge program plan, or EPIC 5, during its Aug. 17 meeting. The EPIC program, which has an annual budget of $185 million, is overseen by the California Public Utilities Commission and administered by the CEC and the three large investor-owned utilities. kAmxE 3682? :? a_`` 2D 2 H2J E@ 7F?5 C6D62C49 E92E 96=AD 56G6=@A ?6H E649?@=@8:6D 2?5 :>AC@G6 E96 8C:5] $:?46 E96?[ E96 AC@8C2> 92D AC@G:565 S`]d 3:==:@?
