Reliant Resources Inc. has completed a 591-megawatt natural-gas-fired power plant near Las Vegas.
Reliant Energy Bighorn, in southern Clark County, will sell electricity into wholesale markets in Nevada and the West.
Reliant last fall mothballed old power plants in California with a total of 264 megawatts of generating capacity.
Beginning April 1, plants with an additional 824 megawatts of capacity will be mothballed, reducing Reliant’s total Western generation capacity to 3,548 megawatts, enough to supply about 2.8 million typical U.S. homes.
