A coal fired plan in Moapa is now closed. The Reid-Gardner plant operated for more than 50 years. The plants energy is being replaced by 100 megawatts of renewable power and energy generated by much cleaner natural gas. The Moapa Band of Pauites have been calling for the coal plants closure for years, they say it’s was an environmental and health concern for those who live nearby. They applaud NV Energy for ending it’s reliance on coal in favor of cleaner technology.
