California to Study Additional Renewable Energy Resources on GridLiance System in Southwest Nevada Silverado Renewables Connection Would Help California and Nevada Meet Climate Change Goals, Create Jobs, and Boost Economy News provided by Share this article Share this article DALLAS, March 15, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- As part of its Integrated Resource Plan, the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) has identified more than 2,000 megawatts of new, low-cost renewable energy generation in southwest Nevada that would help the state of California achieve its climate change goals. To unlock the potential of these resources, GridLiance, an independent electric transmission company, is proposing to develop an electric transmission highway that would increase the amount of renewable energy delivered from southwest Nevada to California. The project, Silverado Renewables Connection, would create thousands of jobs and more than half a billion dollars of regional economic activity.
