Regulators in Nevada have paved the way for two solar-storage hybrid projects to replace a legacy coal power plant in the US state, approving their sale to utility NV Energy.
NV Energy has announced plans to build three solar parks and a large-scale transmission line project in Nevada, as it looks to transform the state’s clean energy landscape.
‘Largest solar project in US history’ near Las Vegas will feature 380MW / 1,400MWh battery element, with green power set to flow to Warren Buffett’s NV Energy under 25-year PPA.
Project contracted to supply power to NV Energy will be built and operated by an Indigenous workforce and marks the third joint solar collaboration for both firms.
In filings with Nevada's Public Utilities Commission, the utility has outlined plans to power an under-construction Google data centre with solar backed by energy storage, in a deal that has the potential to break the corporate PV/battery record.
Three green-lit projects in South Nevada are set to come online by 2024 and will be separately developed by EDF, 8minute and a Quinbrook-Arevia partnership.
Utility turns to Quinbrook, Arevia, 8minute, EDF to deploy 1.2GW of PV and 590MW of batteries across three projects, with plans to bring all online by 2023.
