Nevada Power to Build Waste-Heat Energy Plant Near Las Vegas
Posted on: Tuesday, 25 March 2008, 06:00 CDT
The Nevada Power Company, Kern River Gas Transmission Company, and Ormat Nevada have announced plans to build a 6MW waste-heat recovery renewable energy plant in the Goodsprings area approximately 35 miles south of Las Vegas, Nevada.
The project, subject to regulatory approvals, is scheduled to be completed in 2010 and will reportedly produce enough renewable energy to supply 1,200 residential customers in southern Nevada.
The project consists of two agreements. The first agreement, between Nevada Power and Kern River, allows Nevada Power to build the facility at Kern River's Goodsprings compressor station site.
In the second agreement, Nevada Power has contracted with Ormat to engineer, procure and construct the waste-heat recovery system. Ormat has developed a technology that efficiently harvests waste-heat at such facilities to produce electrical energy.
Nevada Power will file the Kern River agreement with the Public Utilities Commission of Nevada for approval.
