Several Updates on Solar Issues
(as submitted by Mike Fender, Citizens Against Nye County Solar Farm Projects)

1. Prairie Fire has submitted an application to the PUC for approval to provide water (409 acre Ft) for one or more solar projects in Clark County. Issue here is, water would be transferred across the county line which has been questionable. The water is under a lease agreement with Wulfenstein Construction Co. This is still under review. Also the project/s have not gotten approval.

2. Bonanza Peak Solar Project– 3000 acres, private company.

This project is in California in Inyo county up against the NV/CA state line and Nye county line in plain view of the Township of Charleston View. The owners of this project are in the process of revision/upgrading the BESS system plan, which is presently under review. Mind you this is one of two projects at this location that would/may tie into the transmission lines at Trout Canyon.

3. GridLiance has made a request to extend the transmission lines from Trout Canyon substation to the Rough Hat Clark site in Clark County and the Rough Hat Site in Nye County. Neither site has been given approval to commence construction.

3A. The Copper Rays solar project about 2 miles from Hafen Ranch School is still on hold.

4. Dandelion Solar project in Pahrump Valley – 1400 acres,private company. This project surfaced recently. There were three public meetings. Most that attended were residents/property owners that live in close proximity to this site. This project is negotiating for water. This project has not been approved. Project site is located in the north end of Pahrump Valley, east of N Linda and adjacent to Mirand with the southeast end of this site under the transmission lines at Miranda.

It’s important for us to stay abreast of these projects and attend any meeting associated with them. Thanks For Your Support!
