The U.S. Department of Interior (DOI) gave the go-ahead to 520 MW of renewable energy projects,
including two solar and one geothermal plant, on public land in the states of
Arizona and Nevada.
Among the projects that got leases on public land are the
350 MW Midland solar energy project to be developed by Boulder Solar Power LLC in Nevada.
Creating about 350 construction jobs, the facility will generate enough
renewable power for about 105,000 households, when completed.
