Developer of Canceled Solar Project Pledges to Keep Trying

The fate of the enormous Nevada solar development remains unclear under the Trump administration.

The Trump administration canceled the massive Esmeralda 7 solar development last week, leaving a cluster of solar power projects in southern Nevada in doubt.

NextEra Energy Resources wants to move forward with its part of the project, the 1,000-megawatt Esmeralda Energy Center.

The Bureau of Land Management canceled its final environmental review last week.

The Interior Department said companies could move forward with individual projects separately, but declined to comment on interest from companies.

The companies that proposed the seven solar power projects included in Esmeralda 7 could move forward with their individual projects separately.
