Supporting a Cleaner Energy Mix in Nevada

Western Resource Advocates
Project completed November 2009.

Synapse assisted Western Resource Advocates and its local affiliate, NCARE, in developing a clean energy planning model to show how renewable resources can meet Nevada’s future power needs and produce economic benefits at minimal cost to ratepayers. Synapse developed a clean development model that shows how transmission investments support renewables, along with aggressive development of renewable and energy efficiency potential in the state, can more than meet Nevada’s electricity needs without relying on expensive and CO2-emitting new resources such as a proposed coal plant.
