Can anyone identify this somewhat mysterious installation?
It is located about twenty miles south of Farmington, New Mexico, in an area identified as "Navajo Nation Off-Reservation Trust Land."
It is connected to a great deal of electric power transmission capacity, has no visible chimney, but has a supply of cooling water brought to it by means of a canal from Morgan Lake.
I was not able to find it on any list of power plants in the state of New Mexico.
The nearest listed power plant is the Four Corners generating station in Fruitland New Mexico. Morgan Lake supplies cooling water for that power station as well. The installation I'm curious about is about 24 miles southeast of the Four Corners plant.
It's Google Map coordinates are 36.523530, -108.154687

Interesting for sure.
Nah, it’s a Soylent Green processing plant.
Zoom out a bit.
It’s all about Water.
Energy for the food production pumps?
Don’t know of any geothermal in that area... no stacks. Not very big. Notice the train track for access to two of the the three things sticking out of the building.
Strange affair. A plant of some sort but is the power going in or out of it?
The LAT LONG you give takes you NORTH of Farmington.
I can’t find where you are talking about.
Wow! that is a lot of work for such a small area of irrigation.
I wonder how much that little boondoggle cost the taxpayer?
Looks like a pumping plant from a tributary of the San Juan River.
i saw the crop circles but is it a pumping station with electric lines going into it
Casino Power source.
Are we talking about the plant at the south end of Morgan Lake ?
Morgan Lake
Description: The 1200-acre lake Morgan Lake, on the Navajo Reservation, is open year-round. Cooling pond for the to the APS power plant. It offers windsurfing and fishing in 75 degree water year-round .

It’s simply a water pumping station.
Use Google Earth and go three miles West and you can see where the canal re-appears.
It’s pumping water up about 200 ft in a westerly direction.
At least I think it’s goig up...:^)
The power lines from Morgan lake if you follow them go to that other facility
I’d guess your facility is a pumping plant for irrigating all the Navajo Pride farmland nearby (all those green dots).
It’s a prepper’s dream bunker.
THe canal feeding the pumping station terminates at Cutter reservoir, possibly fed by the larger Navajo reservoir I’d guess.
Irrigation. Zoom out.
