Libra Energy
Delivering Reliable Energy and Economic Benefits to Nevada
SB Energy is developing the Libra Energy project (“Libra”) in Mineral and Lyon Counties, Nevada. Libra is a battery energy storage and solar energy facility that will strengthen the local Nevada grid and economy with a new source of reliable power. The energy produced by Libra will be sold to NV Energy under a long-term agreement to serve Nevada residents and businesses.
Libra received its federal, state, and county discretionary permits. Construction will be complete and operations are expected to commence by the beginning of 2028.
Project Location
Libra is located near Yerington, Nevada.
Local Economic Benefits
Libra will contribute millions to support county services and support local organizations. The project will create jobs and generate new tax revenue over a 35-year operational period, providing increased funding for the local school system and improved county services. The project will create hundreds of jobs during construction.

Responsible, Community-Focused Energy
SB Energy is committed to responsible development, construction, and long-term operations-prioritizing community well-being and environment stewardship through the life of the project.
- Once operational, the project will be a passive use of the land
- Land will be stabilized and re-seeded to support regeneration and soil health
- Solar facilities operate quietly and produce no emissions
- Fenced wildlife corridors will be maintained, avoiding major drainage
- Construction will be phased to minimize site disturbance and community impacts
- Native vegetation/pollinator species used for reclamation
Community Engagement
A stakeholder-first approach is central to how we work. Meaningful long-term relationships with local organizations, schools, and community members– and aligning to community priorities – is key to success.
We are committed to transparency and collaboration, working closely with community members to identify areas that will bring the greatest benefit.
