What other coal projects did NV Energy consider?
Several other coal-fired generation projects have been proposed outside Nevada, but these projects don’t meet the State’s policy of adding generation within Nevada, and don’t represent legitimate options at this time. The projects are either too conceptual, fully subscribed, require significant transmission through other systems, or are too far out in time to meet the our needs. Nevertheless, we’ll continue to explore options such as transmission projects that can benefit customers in later years. As for in-State projects, we spent a significant amount of time and resources pursuing joint participation in two potential projects proposed by independent power producers. LS Power Associates L.P. proposed to construct the White Pine Energy Station near Ely and Sithe Global Power LLC proposed the Toquop Energy Project near Mesquite, Nevada.
