Biden Administration Approves Major Nevada Transmission Project to Power 5 Million Homes
Sep 10, 2024, 12:55 AM
The Biden administration has approved a significant energy transmission project in Nevada. The project, which involves the construction of 472 miles of transmission lines, will run along the border with California and connect Las Vegas with northern Nevada. This infrastructure is expected to provide power to approximately 5 million homes. The approval, given on Monday, comes as part of a broader update to the Western Solar Plan, potentially making 12 million acres available for solar energy development. However, the project has received mixed reactions from various stakeholders, including environmental groups and local organizations, as it will cut through some of Nevada’s most remote desert areas.
