NV Energy is seeking proposals for 350 MW of renewables and supplemental battery storage in Nevada. The company wants a minimum of 20 MW per project and is open to biogas, biomass, geothermal, solar and wind. The storage systems can be combined with an existing resource or proposed with a new idea. “Nevada has the potential to become one of the most important energy centers on Earth,” said Mark Jacobson, CEO of NV Energy. Another measure, if passed at ballot, will require Nevada to generate 50% of its power from renewables, although the utility said it would aim for 100%.
