What does it mean to be a neighbor? In this episode of Southwest Power Stories, host Monica Vick travels to the Four Corners region with La Plata Electric's lineworkers as they participate in Light Up Navajo, a national mutual aid program run by the Navajo Tribal Utility Authority that connects homes to electricity for the first time. An estimated third of homes on the Navajo Nation still lack access to the grid, not a statistic from fifty years ago, but today. La Plata Electric joined the effort for the first time in 2026, committing a full crew to Phase 7 of the program, because the area sits just two hours from Durango and LPEA's service territory, and the need felt hard to ignore. In this episode: the pre-dawn work site, the lineworkers who chose to make the trip, the NTUA crews who welcomed them, and a mother of five in Montezuma Creek whose family had been living without power for months, and who was generous enough to share what that day meant to her.
