Several years into the Ely Energy Center project, NV Energy announced that it was postponing the proposed coal-fired power plant and would only pursue the permitting for the approximately 230-mile 500 kV transmission line component. Thus, JBR prepared a supplemental DEIS and FEIS that analyzed the construction and operation of a single 500 kV line and new substation. Applicable baseline data was collected for the new substation, access roads, and transmission lines associated with the substation and incorporated into the EIS document.
