Information System

Nye County Renewable energy study

Currently two locations are being monitored in Beatty, NV in search of potential wind generations sites. The two sites are shown in the picture below.

Figure 1. Map of the two potential wind generation sites. Click on the image to see larger version open in a new window.

The Power Pole site, as shown in the image above, has the equipment elevated at 10m and the Mine Parking Lot Site is monitoring the wind at a 20m elevation.

Figure 2. Mine parking lot site.

For more information about the studies conducted at these two sites, view the Beaty Wind Monitoring Project Report.
