A 500-megawatt solar facility would cover 3,565 acres of public desert land near Pahrump, Nevada.
What’s at risk
Approximately 3,565 acres of public land southeast of Pahrump, Nevada would be developed for utility-scale solar panels, battery storage, and access roads. The project would also trigger a realignment of established energy corridors that currently cross the site.
If this goes through
BLM would grant Renew Development a right-of-way to build and operate a 500-megawatt solar facility on the land for the life of the project, permanently altering desert habitat and displacing existing designated utility corridors.

4 holes in the agency’s own analysis
What the public could have raised, from the agency’s own document
- I oppose this action as proposed, and I ask the agency to weigh the specific harms below.
- The BLM must rigorously analyze all wildlife and environmental impacts before amending the Resource Management Plan to allow the Mosey Solar Project on public lands in Clark and Nye Counties, Nevada.
- This RMP Amendment could permanently change how public lands managed by the Las Vegas and Pahrump Field Offices are used, and the EIS must fully examine those consequences.
- Tribal nations with interests in Southern Nevada public lands deserve meaningful consultation throughout this NEPA scoping process before any planning criteria are finalized.
- The scoping period is the public's opportunity to force the BLM to identify every significant issue the EIS must address, so submit specific concerns about this utility-scale solar development now.

- Say something only you can say. The law requires the agency to consider and respond to substantive comments, and specifics are what make a comment substantive.
In the agency’s own words
In compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969, as amended, and the Federal Land Policy and Management Act (FLPMA) of 1976, as amended, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Nevada State Director intends to prepare a Resource Management Plan (RMP) Amendment with an associated Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the Mosey Solar Project, located in the Southern Nevada District, Las Vegas and Pahrump Field Offices and by this notice is announcing the beginning of the scoping period to solicit public comments, identify issues, and provide the planning criteria for public review.
