The LeChee Red Antelope is a proposed solar and energy storage project under development in partnership with 8minute Solar Energy. The Project features a 400 MWac photovoltaic solar array (no mirrors) and a 1,200 MWh battery storage system. Once entirely constructed and operational, the Red Antelope facility will be one of the world’s largest solar and battery storage facilities.

LeChee, along with many other areas across the Southwest United States, is an ideal location for harvesting, storing and delivering solar energy. The site has one of the best solar resources in the country, which means panels installed there can produce more energy than they would in other places. Plus, new solar facilities can utilize existing transmission lines from NGS to deliver power to many different locations, helping meet the nation’s growing demand for renewable energy.

While the power will be delivered and sold outside of the Navajo Nation, the LeChee community and the Navajo Nation will benefit from creating hundreds of local jobs and significant revenue from the site lease and sales taxes on the construction and operation of the facility.
