Some of the casinos here have their own solar plants. They are trying to get away from the energy company here and become self sustainable but it comes with a steep price to buy out of the energy contract.

On the other hand though, fuck Nevada government. They effectively killed off residential solar market by lowering the price in which they buy back energy from houses and businesses (net metering). All the solar companies soon left after that. I was in the middle of getting them installed on my house but they up and left.

We got the hoover dam, the ivanpah solar facility (can be seen on way to LA) and a few other solar fields for renewable energy. If they brought back residential solar incentives we would be all set.
