Every group above is on STAND for Public Lands, with its court record, its filings and who backs it.
A private company wants to convert more than five square miles of Nevada public land into an industrial solar facility.
What’s at risk
3,565 acres of public land in Clark and Nye Counties would be permanently converted to an industrial energy facility and access roads. The project would also force a rewrite of the Las Vegas Resource Management Plan to move two federally established utility corridors out of the developer's way.
If this goes through
Once built, the solar facility, battery storage, transmission line, and roads would permanently industrialize this stretch of public land outside Pahrump, and the federal land-use plan would be rewritten to lock in that configuration.

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 not grant a right-of-way that hands over 3,565 acres of public land in Clark and Nye County to a private developer for a 500-megawatt solar facility without rigorous environmental review.
- Amending the Las Vegas Resource Management Plan to reroute West-Wide Energy Corridor Segment 224-225, a federally established corridor under the Energy Policy Act of 2005, simply to accommodate this project sets a damaging precedent for public land planning.
- The proposal would also realign a BLM Southern Nevada District designated utility corridor away from its current path through the project area, permanently altering two established corridor routes on public lands for one company's benefit.
- I oppose using an RMP amendment under 43 CFR 1610.5-3 as a workaround to force the project into conformance rather than siting the project where it already conforms to existing land use plans.

- 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
Renew Development HoldCo, LLC (Renew Development) has applied to the BLM Pahrump Field Office for a right-of-way grant for authorization to construct, operate, and decommission a 500-megawatt photovoltaic solar electric generating facility, battery energy storage facilities, associated generation tie (gen-tie) line, and access road facilities on approximately 3,565 acres of public lands (Project) located southeast of the town of Pahrump, in Clark and Nye County, 30 miles west of Las Vegas.
