NEVADA POWER CO RESOURCE PLAN

A 50 MW wind project in Nevada is on a short list of 12 projects that Nevada Power Co will present in its resource plan to regulators by the end of the year, says a utility spokesman. The Kenetech project, in Goodsprings, would be built with Oxbow Energy Corp, says Kenetech's Bud Grebey. The bid was one of 107 projects by 26 bidders received by the Las Vegas-based utility. The utility eventually needs 150 MW a year for 1997 and 1998, says Vince Alberta of Nevada Power.
