Wind Resources
• Pyramid Lake is an area that also demonstrates a significant potential for wind energy development
• The high altitude makes wind development more difficult even with the high wind speeds.

Additional Issues
• Currently served by a single Investor Owned Utility thereby limiting power sales options.
• Very limited transmission system in all of northwestern Nevada.
• Access to California markets may be possible but will be difficult.
• Potential for a Tribal Owned Utility
