Benefits of Renewable Energy Development in Nevada

Nevada State Office of Energy
Project completed March 2013.

Synapse assisted the Nevada State Office of Energy in evaluating the potential business case for accessing the state's renewable energy resources for export to California. Synapse evaluated a number of renewables-oriented transmission build-out scenarios and conducted an IMPLAN model analysis of the economic impacts of renewable generation and transmission investments in the state. Synapse also identified a number of cost allocation and policy issues that would have to be addressed by Nevada lawmakers and/or regulators.
