The One Nevada Transmission Line (ON Line) project, formerly known as the Southwest Intertie Project (SWIP) – South, will run from Ely, Nevada, to just north of Las Vegas.
This marks the first phase of Great Basin’s 510-mile SWIP Project.
The transmission line will provide access to renewable energy resources in northern and eastern Nevada.
Under the contract, Sturgeon Electric Company, an MYR Group subsidiary, will provide construction management and specialty equipment to deliver power line construction services, including right-of-way clearing, environmental controls, foundation installation, structure installation and conductor stringing.
Construction planning has begun, and actual construction is expected to begin in early 2011 with a substantial completion date of November 2012.
Under a separate agreement with Great Basin, NV Energy plans to own 25% of the line and purchase Great Basin’s share of the capacity.
