USA, Nevada:

NV Energy Ramping up Green Power (Las Vegas Review-Journal)


The power utility told the Public Utilities Commission of Nevada Wednesday that it went beyond its renewable-portfolio mandate in 2011. The company got 16.7 percent of its electricity from renewables last year, more than the 15 percent required by state law.

Major projects that came online in 2011 include the 22.5-megawatt Jersey Valley geothermal project in Lander and Pershing counties and the 32-megawatt Tuscarora geothermal project in Elko County.
