Description: Table Mountain Wind Company, LLC (TMWC) a joint venture between Global Renewable Energy Partners, Inc. (GREP) and Siemens Energy and Automation, Inc., is proposing to develop a nominal 150- to 205-megawatt (MW) wind-powered electric generation facility (WGF) and ancillary facilities approximately 20 miles (mi) southwest of Las Vegas, at the south end of the Spring Mountain range between the communities of Goodsprings, Sandy Valley, Jean, and Primm, Nevada.  TMWC has applied for a 20-year-term right-of-way (ROW) grant from the BLM Las Vegas Field Office to construct, operate, and maintain a WGF and ancillary facilities on approximately 325 acres (ac) of public land.  The purpose of the proposed project is to provide wind-generated electricity from a site in southern Nevada to meet existing electricity needs and demonstrate the ability of wind energy to provide a reliable, economical, and environmentally acceptable energy resource in the region.
