Major energy projects in Nevada have been approved by the federal government, including a transmission line that will run for hundreds of miles along the state’s border with California.

The Greenlink West Transmission Project will create a system of new transmission lines and facilities from North Las Vegas to Reno, passing through several counties, according to a Sept. 9 press release from the Department of the Interior.
