Buffett's Nevada Utility Agrees to Buy 1 Gigawatt of Solar Power

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/buffetts-nevada-utility-agrees-buy-213454554.html

Berkshire Hathaway Energy’s NV Energy Inc. utility agreed to buy 1 gigawatt of solar power from six new projects in the state -- enough to power more than 600,000 homes.

NV Energy plans to file a request seeking regulatory approval for the 25-year power-purchase agreements, the company said in a statement Thursday.

The projects are expected to be operational by the end of 2021 and would increase the utility’s renewable energy capacity by 47 percent, Mark Severts, an NV Energy spokesman, said in an email. Three include battery storage systems, totaling 100 megawatts.

we have heard this before and only to have NV Energy sideswipe us and blame the rate payers. Most of our Solar goes to the LA basin.

There is so much distrust of NV Energy here in Vegas because of their Politicking of our GOP Governor and the total disregards of Rate Payers. No one trusts this suckers. Right now they are running a State Wide Campaign to keep their Monopoly.
