Toquop Energy Project
Toquop Energy Project is a proposed energy facility located in Lincoln County near Mesquite, Nevada. In 2003, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) issued a rights-of-way for a natural gas-fired plant. In 2004, Toquop Energy applied to amend the ROW for construction of a coal-fired plant. In 2010, Toquop Energy informed the BLM that the plan was to proceed with a gas-fired plant. In 2012, the project was proposed to be a $1.4 billion energy facility. Phase 1 was to be a photovoltaic plant scheduled for completion in 2012. Phase 2  of the project was a natural gas station scheduled for completion in 2015. In August, 2015, Sithe Global withdrew from the project and was replaced by EWP Renewable Corporation and the solar portion of the project no longer appeared. EWP planned to develop the project in two phases of 550 MW each with an anticipated completion in the first quarter of 2016.
