Nevada Solar Works has announced the winning of a tender for a contract of construction of a 1.3MW solar project in the city of Reno, Nevada.
The contract includes many facilities such as building a 1MW fixed tilt system ground mounted on Reno Stead water treatment station and the total of 295kW fixed tilt equipment mounted on the roof or at ground level in five locations in the city.
Contract won from the Reno City Council, was awarded the Nevada Solar Works Division which includes Q & D Construction, CleanPath Renewables and Alternative Energy Solutions.
The project will be the first request of statewide proposal (RFP) to enjoy from Nevada state law AB 186 - available from October 2009, which allows third ownership of renewable energy systems.
"Nevada has a tremendous opportunity to create a sustainable green collar economy, and these projects are a great example of the potential for solar in Nevada", said Scott Gerz, Director of Business Development at CleanPath Renewables.
Construction of first installation is scheduled to begin in October 2010.
