With the Nevada state Legislature pushing the accelerator, NV Energy will ramp up its efforts on the largest extra-high-voltage transmission line project in Nevada history.
The $2.5-billion Greenlink Nevada project aims to strengthen the electrical grid, reduce carbon emissions, promote renewable energy development and position the state as a major exporter of clean energy. It calls for approximately 580 miles of 525-kV lines that will link Las Vegas and Reno with new solar fields and geothermal plants.
