NV Energy, Apple partnering on solar energy in Nev.
By Erin Ryan, Las Vegas Sun
NV Energy and Apple have jointly announced an agreement to build 200 megawatts of additional solar energy in Nevada to support the tech company’s Reno-based data center with renewable energy. Completion is expected by 2019.
First, NV Energy must apply with the state’s Public Utilities Commission to enter into a power purchase agreement for the solar power plant.
Apple plans to dedicate up to 5 megawatts of the new power to a subscription solar program NV Energy has in the works for residential and commercial customers.
