Major energy projects in Nevada have been approved by the federal government, including a transmission line that will run for hundreds of miles along the state’s border with California.
The Greenlink West Transmission Project will create a system of new transmission lines and facilities from North Las Vegas to Reno, passing through several counties, according to a Sept. 9 press release from the Department of the Interior.
The lines are expected to be built in a 210-mile-long by 3,500-foot-wide utility corridor, starting near Ely in White Pine County, crossing public lands through Eureka, Lander, and Churchill counties, and ending near Yerington in Lyon County.
Upon completion, the project could transmit up to 4,000 megawatts of energy, enough to power at least 4.8 million homes, according to the department.
The administration also approved the Libra Solar Project, which involves building a solar facility and a battery energy storage system on approximately 5,778 acres of public land in Mineral County, Nevada.
