The wind farm was completed at a cost of $225 million, and began operations on August 8, 2012. It was the first wind farm to be built in Nevada, and the first to be built on federal land in the United States. The wind farm featured 66 turbines, each approximately 400 feet (120 m) tall and located in the center of Spring Valley.
Nevada wind resources. The U.S. state of Nevada has a quite limited potential capacity for onshore wind power generation, ranking 29th among the states. The NREL estimates [1] that the potential for 7.2 GW of wind generation capacity exists in Nevada, which could generate 17,709 GW·h per year (roughly 60% of the state's electric demand [2]).
The Santa Anas are katabatic winds (Greek for "flowing downhill") arising in higher altitudes and blowing down towards sea level. [7] The National Weather Service defines Santa Ana winds as "a weather condition [in southern California] in which strong, hot, dust-bearing winds descend to the Pacific Coast around Los Angeles from inland desert regions".
In 2023, the electrical energy generation mix was 58.1% natural gas, 23% solar, 10.1% geothermal, 4.9% coal, 3.1% hydroelectric, 0.7% wind, and 0.1% biomass. [ 1 ] Small-scale solar including customer-owned photovoltaic panels delivered an additional net 1,690 GWh to Nevada's electricity grid in 2023.

Such maps have been in use since the mid-19th century and are used for research and weather forecasting purposes. Maps using isotherms show temperature gradients, [2] which can help locate weather fronts. Isotach maps, analyzing lines of equal wind speed, [3] on a constant pressure surface of 300 or 250 hPa show where the jet stream is located.
Far more impressive was Las Vegas resident Kurt Kitayama, who was bogey-free for a 68 in gusts approaching 40 mph and temperatures that led to a wardrobe of sweaters and ski caps. Kitayama was part of the group at 8-under 134 that included Doug Ghim, J.J. Spaun and Davis Thompson, all of whom completed the second round.
