The Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM) Las Vegas Field Office will be opening a comment period on a proposed solar project near Las Vegas, NV.
The agency is proposing an environmental assessment and regional mitigation strategy on 1,635 acres of public land 10 miles northeast of Las Vegas. The area was designated as a preferred location for solar energy development in 2020.
“The BLM has developed an environmental assessment and regional mitigation strategy for the application that proposes construction, operation and eventual decommissioning of 200 MW photovoltaic solar facility with 200 MW of battery energy storage and an additional 400 MW battery energy storage facility,” BLM said in a news release.
