Utility NV Energy has awarded contracts in the US state of Nevada for over 1,000MW of renewable energy projects – including a 420MW-dc solar farm – and has also requested approval for 100MW of energy storage.
In January, Energy-Storage.News reported that NV Energy, owned by billionaire investor Warren Buffet’s Berkshire Hathaway since 2013, was tendering for 330MW of renewables. The solicitation process resulted in the utility selecting six new solar PV projects, now totalling more than 1GW. NV Energy is expected to file its resource plan for the approval of the regulator, Public Utilities Commission of Nevada (PCUN), today, 1 June.
