NV Energy, which MEHC acquired in December,  is seeking information from renewable energy developers to assist its effort to identify potential new solar sites that could deliver electricity to the utility’s southern grid. The deadline for responses is 21 March.

Last June, Nevada’s legislature passed Senate Bill 123, which mandates that NV Energy build 350MW of new renewable energy to partly compensate for the elimination of 800MW of coal-fired power generation from its portfolio.
