NV Energy again meets its renewable energy goals
By Mick Akers, Las Vegas Sun
NV Energy has reached its mandated renewable energy goals for the seventh straight year.
In a filing with the Public Utilities Commission of Nevada, NV Energy reported it achieved a 22.2 percent renewable credit level last year in Southern Nevada and a 26.6 level in Northern Nevada.
The legislated requirement for 2016 was 20 percent, based on total retail energy sales. The requirement rises to 25 percent in 2025.
NV Energy said there are 43 renewable energy projects in Nevada from which its customers benefit.
