PUCN grants five-year extension to Crescent Valley Solar project
Summary
The Public Utilities Commission of Nevada granted Crescent Valley Solar Energy LLC a five-year extension to satisfy compliance items for its authorized 149-megawatt photovoltaic project in Lander County, citing permitting delays and ongoing efforts to secure an off-taker; staff did not oppose the request.
The Public Utilities Commission of Nevada voted unanimously to grant Crescent Valley Solar Energy LLC a five-year extension to satisfy remaining compliance items for its previously authorized 149-megawatt photovoltaic project in Lander County.
Commissioner Brown presented the company's filing and said Crescent Valley is "diligently working to obtain the necessary permits and approvals to secure an off taker for the power that will be produced by the project," and that the permitting process can be lengthy. Staff told the commission it did not oppose the motion. Chair Hilly Williamson seconded Brown's motion to grant the extension; the motion passed with all commissioners voting aye.
Why it matters: The extension preserves the developer’s authorization while it completes permitting and contracts necessary to bring the project online. The commission’s order includes any compliance-reporting requirements described in the draft order.
Next steps: The commission directed staff to issue the appropriate order implementing the extension. The order will include deadlines and any required compliance reports; parties will file those reports as specified in the order.
