North American Windpower, March 21 2014

Clean energy investment in Nevada has accelerated rapidly in the past five years, reaching at least $5.5 billion since 2010, according to a new report from the Las Vegas-based Clean Energy Project. As of 2014, Nevada has 480-MW of clean energy developed or being developed to meet its energy demand and 985-MW of clean energy exported to other states. Nevada’s investment of  $500 million in tax abatements has attracted $5.5 billion of capital investment in clean energy projects to the state resulting in a 10 to 1 return on its investment. Additionally, Nevada will receive just over $820 million in employment and property benefit from these projects.
