Governor Jim Gibbons recently released the Phase 1 report prepared by the Renewable Energy Transmission Access Advisory Committee (RETAAC).  The Governor created this advisory committee in May 2007 to identify potential development locations for renewable energy and assess existing and planned transmission access to these resources. He also charged the committee to make recommendations for additional transmission lines, so that we can work towards setting the infrastructure and bring our renewable energy resources to the market place.

“Increased renewable energy development will be the key that frees Nevada of its dependence on imported energy,” said Governor Gibbons. 

Nevada currently spends over $6 billion dollars a year on imported energy including electricity, natural gas, and transportation fuel.
