The US Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Nevada Renewable Energy Coordination Office is evaluating two SF-299 applications [one application for a permanent right-of-way (RoW), one application for a short-term RoW] submitted by NV Energy for transportation and utility systems and facilities on federal lands. The proposed Greenlink North Transmission Project would span approximately 235 miles (378 km) from Ely, Nevada to Yerington, Nevada through the White Pine, Eureka, Lander, Churchill, and Lyon counties, and would involve construction of the following components:
- 525/345 kV Robinson Summit substation expansion
- 525/230 kV New Lander collector station
- 525 kV New Fort Churchill–Robinson Summit transmission line
- 525/345 kV Fort Churchill substation expansion
The BLM’s 30-day protest period ended on June 23, 2025 and the permitting schedule has been updated. The project’s start date was in May 2023 with the Notice of Intent Publication on May 26, 2023. The draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) was published on September 13, 2024 followed by the final EIS on May 23, 2025.
