The U.S. Interior Dept. took steps to move ahead $2.5 billion of proposed NV Energy transmission line projects in Nevada, but ratepayer cost concerns are rising. The projects are meant to increase renewable energy development in the state.
The agency on May 25 released the draft environmental impact statement for the 285-mile Greenlink West project from Las Vegas to Reno. It also said it was beginning environmental review of the 358-mile Greenlink North project from Reno to Robinson Summit.
