NV Energy has filed a plan with the Public Utilities Commission of Nevada (PUCN) regarding a strategy to construct solar and battery-energy storage projects in the state.
The two new solar-plus storage projects will total 600 megawatts of energy and 480 megawatts of storage and have the capacity to power 127,000 homes. These include the 350-megawatt Hot Pot Solar Project, which will be paired with 280 megawatts of battery storage; and the 250-megawatt Iron Point Solar Project, paired with 200 megawatts of battery storage.
Both projects are being developed and built by Primergy Solar.
NV Energy will also build three grid-tied battery-energy storage systems in northern Nevada. These systems will provide 66 megawatts of energy-storage capacity that can be dispatched during times of highest customer demand.
“Today's filing demonstrates NV Energy's commitment to helping Nevada achieve its goal of net-zero carbon emissions by 2050 and builds upon the environm
