County Commission schedules May 13 public hearing for proposed North Lyon Power GID

County Commission schedules May 13 public hearing for proposed North Lyon Power GID

The Lyon County Commission has scheduled a special meeting at 9 a.m. on May 13 to hold a public hearing on the service plan for the proposed North Lyon Power General Improvement District.

Last June, the Commission approved a resolution to initiate the formation of a GID to transmit electric power to the Northern Nevada Industrial Center (NNIC), a 20,000-acre industrial zone in unincorporated Lyon County north of Silver Springs along USA Parkway.

The proposed service plan states NNIC is planned as a modern, multi-use industrial park designed to accommodate manufacturing facilities, logistics hubs, data centers, and advanced technology enterprises which have large and growing electric power requirements.

According to the proposal, the power system would serve several hundred megawatts of power and would include natural gas and solar generation.

The proposed plan also states that all infrastructure build-out and construction will be privately funded with no public funds, taxes or general obligation debt or financial support from Lyon County or any other governmental entity.

The County Commission would serve as the governing board of the GID.

Why does the County have to pay the whole bill? Just my opinion.
