Keeping the lights on in Nye County, Nevada


The GridLiance West Johnnie Corner – Beatty Upgrade Project aims to replace aging infrastructure in Nye County, Nevada. A new 230-kV transmission line will be constructed alongside the existing 138-kV line from the Johnnie Corner substation, located about 15 miles north of Pahrump, to the Beatty substation, which lies along U.S. Route 95. This project will significantly enhance the region’s energy system, improving power reliability and encouraging further economic development in the community.
