On Feb. 8, the Public Utilities Commission of Nevada granted Techren Solar a Utility Environmental Protection Act permit for a project that involves a solar power facility, substation, and transmission line.
Techren Solar has been vying for the opportunity to lead the Techren Boulder City Solar Project since April 2012 when it filed an application for a permit to begin construction with the commission. As reported by ELP, the project consists of a 300-MW photovoltaic solar-powered electric generating facility; a substation with 34.5-kV to 230-kV step-up transformers; roughly four miles of a 230-kV transmission line or three miles of a 500-kV transmission line; and associated facilities to be located in Boulder City, Nev.
Additionally, in November 2016, Techren filed a second amended application which asked to modify the project description of the proposed facility in order to make changes to the original transmission line so that it would also include a path to the Nevada Solar One (NSO) substation, a new access road, and two water pipelines to the solar field. While Techren has stated it will only build a 100MW and a 230-kV transmission line, the company has decided to retain the 300-MW capacity originally proposed for the project simply so they have the option of expanding.
阿尔伯克基地区建筑承包商认罪
Department of Justice issued a press release announcing that Joseph Dubois of Albuquerque, N.M., pled guilty in federal court last week for “evading federal taxes and fraudulently presenting a fictitious surety bond.” Dubois, the owner of Regency Development Group, must now pay $410,520 in restitution.
Information presented in the case explains Dubois evaded his federal corporate tax obligations from November 2011 to October 2013 by opening and then hiding a series of bank accounts to avoid tax liens, and conceal assets to avoid their seizure. Dubois also made a habit of creating fake surety bonds as well as other documents and then presenting them as authentic.
The case was investigated by the Albuquerque office of IRS Criminal Investigation and Department of the Interior, Office of Inspector General, and prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Jeremy Pena. Dubois will faces a statutory maximum penalty of 25 years in federal prison. A sentencing hearing has yet to be scheduled.
