NV Energy’s $3B Data Center Bet

NV Energy is betting big on Northern Nevada, pouring over $3 billion over three years—far more than Southern Nevada—to fuel the explosive growth of data centers, which are already requesting 22 gigawatts of power. With 6 gigawatts already locked in, the utility forecasts a 47% jump in electricity demand, raising alarms about grid stability and whether customers will bear the cost of potential overbuilding. To protect ratepayers, NV Energy wants data centers to pay for infrastructure and sign long-term contracts. The plan mixes solar, batteries, and natural gas—sparking concern among green advocates about meeting state renewable goals. Full details are expected later this year.
