"Right now in the Southwest there are important advances being made in the areas of wind and solar power, and electric transmission," says Fran Lowell, NRG Principal for the Las Vegas office. "As we continue to serve our natural gas, oil, and biofuels clients, we are also excited about working on renewable energy development projects in this region."
