Earlier this month, council leaders of the Gila River Indian Community, led by Gov. Stephen Roe Lewis, signed an agreement with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to begin work on a solar-over-canal pilot project.
By constructing panels over a portion of the community’s Top Level canal, the project aims to conserve water and generate energy for tribal irrigation facilities. Phase I project costs are estimated to be $6.744 million and it is expected to produce approximately 1 MW of renewable energy.
With the execution of this agreement, the Army Corps will now begin the project’s construction phase, with completion expected in 2025.
“I want to personally thank Assistant Secretary Connor for his vision and steadfast support for this innovative project. Our work with the Assistant Secretary dates back decades and the Community deeply appreciates him and his support,” says Lewis.
The PPA describes the project and the responsibilities of the federal government and the non-federal sponsor in the cost sharing and execution of work.

Every day, our nation’s face is pushed a little bit further into the toilet.
Gotta love the creativity, and certainly the sentiment, that is captured by the artist whose work we see here.
In reality, however, Lady Liberty should be depicted sitting with slumped shoulders, tears rolling down her cheeks.
There has never been a moment anything like the present in U.S. history. A sociopathic criminal in the White House, bolstered by traitors in both Congress and the Supreme Court.
It’s always encouraging to see the emergence of another brilliant astrophysicist into our culture — not that his message here is particularly encouraging.
