The Hualapai Tribe and the U.S. Department of Energy will announce on Wednesday the completion of a major renewable energy project at the western edge of the Grand Canyon. The tribe will also celebrate its long-awaited water settlement. Grand Canyon West, a tourism business owned and operated by the Hualapai Tribe, will throw the switch on a new $2.7 million solar-powered microgrid that will generate enough renewable energy to save the 2,300-member tribe about $11.5 million over the next 25 years.
