NV Energy is committed to fulfilling its roles of providing safe and reliable electricity to our customers while being a responsible corporate citizen and a leader in environmental stewardship.
Ely Energy Center
The proposed Ely Energy Center consists of a coal-fired power complex in White Pine County, located in eastern Nevada, and an approximately 250-mile transmission line that for the first time would provide an electric connection between the northern and southern parts of the state. The power facility, which would be the largest energy development project in the state since Hoover Dam, will serve customers of NV Energy covering a 54,500-square-mile service territory in Nevada that stretches north to south from Elko to Laughlin.
Tracy Combined Cycle Plant
A new electric generating plant that NV Energy is building in northern Nevada will reduce the state's reliance on volatile energy markets and increase the utility's generating capacity by nearly 50 percent. The 514-megawatt, Tracy Combined Cycle Plant, located adjacent to the utility's Tracy Generating Station east of Reno, is expected to start producing electricity for northern Nevada and the Lake Tahoe area of California by June 2008.
Reid Gardner
NV Energy is requesting a right-of-way grant from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) for the proposed ash storage facility and evaporation ponds expansion at Reid Gardner. Reid Gardner is a coal-fired electric generation facility located on private property bordered by BLM and Moapa Indian Reservation property. The facility produces several non-hazardous waste streams that are disposed onsite in a permitted landfill. The primary waste streams include fly ash, bottom ash, and water treatment sludge.
