Along with our efforts to protect habitat, work on environmental projects, and cooperate with environmental groups, Nevada Power is doing it's share by promoting clean sources of renewable energy.
Nevada is the No. 1 state in the nation in solar watts per capita and solar as a percentage of retail sales.
We are very proud of our accomplishments in furthering Renewable Energy in Nevada. And Every day we are doing even more. The State of Nevada has taken a leadership role in the nation's effort to reduce its reliance on fossil fuels and foreign oil. State law mandates that a significant portion of the energy we sell to our customers comes from renewable sources. In its most recent Integrated Resource Plan filed with -- and approved by -- the Public Utilities Commission of Nevada, Nevada Power will spending approximately $2 billion to purchase and invest in new renewable energy by 2015.
