  Biomass (0.1%)

This is a list of electricity-generating power stations in the U.S. state of Nevada , sorted by type and name. In 2022, Nevada had a total summer capacity of 13,541 MW through all of its power plants, and a net generation of 42,591 GWh. [2] In 2023, the electrical energy generation mix was 58.1% natural gas, 23% solar, 10.1% geothermal, 4.9% coal, 3.1% hydroelectric, 0.7% wind, and 0.1% biomass. [1]

Small-scale solar including customer-owned photovoltaic panels delivered an additional net 1,690 GWh to Nevada's electricity grid in 2023. This was more than five times smaller than the amount generated by the state's utility-scale PV plants. [1] Nevada ranks second in the nation as a producer of geothermal resources, and fourth as a producer of solar resources. [3]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">NV Energy</span> Public utility in the United States

NV Energy is a public utility which generates, transmits and distributes electric service in northern and southern Nevada, including the Las Vegas Valley, and provides natural gas service in the Reno–Sparks metropolitan area of northern Nevada. Based in Las Vegas, Nevada, it serves about 1.3 million customers and over 40 million tourists annually.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Capacity factor</span> Electrical production measure

The net capacity factor is the unitless ratio of actual electrical energy output over a given period of time to the theoretical maximum electrical energy output over that period. The theoretical maximum energy output of a given installation is defined as that due to its continuous operation at full nameplate capacity over the relevant period. The capacity factor can be calculated for any electricity producing installation, such as a fuel consuming power plant or one using renewable energy, such as wind, the sun or hydro-electric installations. The average capacity factor can also be defined for any class of such installations, and can be used to compare different types of electricity production.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Ormat Technologies</span>
