In two separate signing ceremonies Thursday in Window Rock, Navajo Nation President Ben Shelly and Navajo Nation Council Speaker Johnny Naize signed the Navajo Nation Energy Policy of 2013.
“It is guidance, a reference to commitment and bringing energy to the Navajo Nation,” Naize said during the legislative branch’s signing ceremony.
The council passed the energy policy Tuesday. Thirteen members voted in favor of the policy, and six opposed it.
During the signing ceremony, Naize mentioned that on Oct. 18 he signed a bill that gave $4.1 million from the Unreserved Undesignated Fund Balance to the Navajo Transitional Energy Company LLC.
