Federal officials plan to approve a massive solar farm with energy storage in the desert outside Las Vegas. Energy reporter Sammy_Roth explains:
The Eland solar contract had been delayed due to concerns raised by the city electrical workers union.
NV Energy will pay an average of $42.83 per megawatt-hour for the combined output of the solar panels and batteries at the Gemini project under a 25-year contract. The addition of Gemini and two other solar-plus-storage projects “allows us to extend the benefits of renewable energy to times when the sun is not shining,” Doug Cannon, NV Energy’s president and chief executive, said last month.
“Today’s decision brings the environmental and price benefits of low-cost solar energy to our customers,” Cannon said in a , after the Public Utilities Commission of Nevada approved power purchase contracts for Gemini and the other projects. “We are proud to be delivering a renewable energy vision to our customers that also supports Nevada’s economic and sustainability goals.”Advertisementlast year required utilities to get half of their electricity from renewable sources by 2030, and set a goal of 100% zero-carbon electricity by 2050.
