Three 345-kV lines running ~90 miles from Mason Valley to Highway 50, passing close to Stagecoach and Silver Springs homes. Residents worry about viewsheds, drainage turning into flood channels, and whether the lines exist mainly to serve data centers — something the applicant denies.

The Stagecoach CAB vice chair reported dust, unsecured gates, and poor communication from the contractor building the NV Energy/Greenlink transmission laydown yard, though the county sent a compliance letter demanding corrective action.
