Nobel Solar is proposing the construction, operation, and eventual decommissioning of the Golden Currant Solar Project, a photovoltaic solar power project including a battery storage facility on BLM-managed public land designated as a solar variance area in Clark County. Golden Currant Solar Project proposes a 400 MW alternating current solar photovoltaic power generating facility with energy storage on approximately 4,456 acres of BLM-managed public land located in the Pahrump Valley in Clark County approximately five miles southeast of Pahrump and 26 miles west of Las Vegas. State Route 160 is less than two miles northeast of the site. The Project would include photovoltaic modules that convert sunlight into direct current electricity that would be collected and converted to alternating current electricity through a system of inverters. The collected electricity would be conveyed to the regional transmission system via new 230kV overhead generation gen-tie transmission line to the BLM approved Trout Canyon Substation.
