Potential Economic Impact of Constructing and Operating Solar Power Generation Facilities in Nevada

Mark Mehos, Mark Mehos (NREL Technical Monitor)

Research output: NREL › Subcontract Report

Abstract

Nevada has a vast potential for electricity generation using solar power. An examination of the stock of renewable resources in Nevada proves that the state has the potential to be a leader in renewable-electric generation--one of the best in the world. This study provides estimates on the economic impact in terms of employment, personal income, and gross state product (GSP) of developing aportion of Nevada's solar energy generation resources.
