The New Comstock project is located close to Nevada’s historic Comstock district. Designed to “mine the wind” the New Comstock project will restore the Comstock’s 19th century leadership role by showing the way to Nevada’s 21st century green economy.
The New Comstock is also important to Washoe County and Carson City. Visible from the state capitol the New Comstock is the region’s largest symbol for Northern Nevada’s commitment to green, sustainable energy. The New Comstock will provide valuable tax revenue for Storey County, Washoe County and Carson City as well as approximately 15 long-term jobs.

The visual simulations presented here are for informational purposes only and are based on the New Comstock Wind Energy project layout as currently proposed. The proposed layout is subject to all required local, state, and federal review, permits, and approvals, including the Environmental Impact Study (EIS) to be performed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), and is therefore, subject to change. These visual simulations were produced by Great Basin Wind LLC and have not been approved by the BLM. The BLM will produce separate visual simulations during the EIS process for the New Comstock Wind Energy Project
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has begun its two year Environmental Impact Study (EIS) of the New Comstock. To participate in the EIS visit the BLM’s New Comstock Wind Energy Project web site or contact newcomstockwind@blm.gov.
