Ely Energy Center
NV Energy, Inc. announced that it has postponed its plans to construct a coal-fired power plant in eastern Nevada due to increasing environmental and economic uncertainties surrounding its development. The company will not move forward with construction of the coal plant until the technologies that will capture and store green house gasses are commercially feasible, which is not likely before the end of the next decade.
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.
