According to Nevada Power, two gasification units were to be added to the Ely Energy Center “when commercially viable.”[1]
On February 9, 2009, Nevada Power announced that it was postponing the plant indefinitely because of increasing economic and environmental uncertainties. According to CEO Michael Yackira, the plant could be delayed for up to 10 years, or until carbon capture and storage technologies are available.[2]
