Peabody Celebrates 40 Years on Black Mesa

Peabody Energy has operated through a business partnership with the Navajo Nation and the Hopi Tribe for more than 40 years in Northeastern Arizona. Its Kayenta Mine supplies approximately 8 million tons of coal each year for the Navajo Generating Station near Page, Ariz., which serves customers in Arizona, Nevada and California. Mining on Black Mesa has contributed more than $12 billion in direct and indirect economic benefits to the region since the operations began, and Peabody's environmental and community practices in the U.S. Southwest are recognized as a global model for sustainability.
