The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Renewable Energy Coordinating Office has prepared this Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) in response to a right-of-way application submitted by NextLight Renewable Power, LLC (Applicant or Proponent) to construct and operate the Silver State Solar Project. The proposed project would be located on BLM-administered lands, approximately 2 miles east of Primm, in Clark County, Nevada. The Proponent is proposing to construct a concentrated solar thermal parabolic trough power plant facility, which is expected to operate for approximately 50 years. The proposed project would utilize solar photovoltaic technology, to produce 400 megawatts (MW) of renewable energy.
