NAC704.94895. Renewable energy zone transmission action plan: Acceptance of action items.

An action item contained in a renewable energy zone transmission action plan may be accepted by the Commission if the Commission determines that, with respect to that action item:

     1. The action item will serve a renewable energy zone and will prudently facilitate the utility’s satisfaction of the portfolio standard established pursuant to NRS 704.7821 in a manner consistent with NAC 704.8901 to 704.8937, inclusive, while adequately mitigating the risk associated with stranded costs of transmission development and the costs of developing transmission capacity not intended to provide service to Nevada retail ratepayers; and

     2. The utility has demonstrated that the financial commitments supporting renewable energy development in the affected renewable energy zones are adequate to justify implementation of the action item.
