NV Energy has requested approval by the Public Utilities Commission of Nevada of agreements to purchase renewable power from three proposed plants in northern Nevada.

The facilities include a 3.2-megawatt landfill energy project in Storey County by Waste Management; a 53.5-megawatt geothermal project in central Nevada by Reno-based Ram Power; and a 25-megawatt geothermal project in Elko County by Reno-based Ormat Technologies.

All of the proposed contracts had been disclosed earlier by the utility.
