The is the administration’s latest effort to speed approval of major clean energy projects as part of its climate change and jobs agendas.
Public utility NV Energy’s Greenlink West Transmission project will run for 472 miles from North Las Vegas to Reno, according to Bureau of Land Management documents. Once completed, the line could transmit up to 4 GW of electricity, enough to power about 5 million homes.
The Greenlink project, which includes Greenlink West and the smaller Greenlink North, will cost about $4.24 billion. Greenlink North is in the early stages of the federal permitting process.
