Nevada data centers map
Nevada has 38 mapped data center buildings, the 13th most of any state. Clark County has the most: 22. 1 large AI campus is here too. Businesses pay 9.21¢ per kWh for power, 31% below the US average. Business power use grew 22.1% from 2019 to 2025, about twice the US rate.

About mapped buildings
Buildings and sites that OpenStreetMap volunteers have tagged as data centers. It counts mapped objects, not an official register, so some data centers are not on it yet.
About large AI campuses
A large data center campus built for AI computing, on Epoch AI's list of AI data centers. “Being built” means Epoch AI lists no computers running there yet.
About business power prices
This is the average price businesses paid for power in Nevada in 2025. A kilowatt-hour (kWh) is the power a 1,000-watt heater uses in one hour.
“Businesses” is the commercial group in the US Energy Information Administration's figures: offices, stores and most data centers. Some large data centers buy power as industry instead.

What the marks mean
Operating: a building mapped as a data center in OpenStreetMap, in use today. As of Nov 6, 2026.
Proposed to under construction, paused, withdrawn or canceled: a planned project and the stage in its latest public record. As of Nov 7, 2026.
About the stages: a project moves from Proposed to Rezoning filed, Approved, Permitted and Under construction. Some stop: Paused, Withdrawn or Canceled.
AI campus: a large AI campus that is not running yet. As of Nov 7, 2026.
Campuses and projects not placed at their street address are listed, not mapped.
Each kind of mark is counted on its own, and the counts are never added together.

How many in each county?
Which natural risks do these counties face?
About the risk ratings
FEMA's National Risk Index scores each county for each natural hazard from 0 to 100, against every county in the US. The score starts from the expected annual loss: the damage a hazard is likely to cause in an average year. It also weighs how many people could be hurt and how well the area can bounce back.
Ratings run from very low to very high.
“Rate high” means relatively high or very high.
2 of the 3 counties with mapped data centers rate high or very high for a natural hazard: Clark County for earthquake, inland flooding, lightning, wildfire, hail and heat wave; Washoe County for earthquake, inland flooding, lightning, wildfire and winter weather.
What does power cost in Nevada, and how fast is demand growing?
Businesses pay 9.21¢ per kWh, 31% below the US average, and their power use grew 22.1% from 2019 to 2025, about twice the US rate.
What do businesses pay for power?
9.21¢ per kWh in 2025, the 5th lowest of 50 states and DC.
Is Nevada's power demand rising?
About business power use
This is the power sold to businesses each year, the commercial group in the US Energy Information Administration's figures. Most data centers are in it, so a fast rise often means new data centers, but offices and stores count too.
Nevada: 11.68 terawatt-hours (TWh) in 2019, 14.27 TWh in 2025. One TWh is a billion kWh.
Yes. Business power use grew 22.1% from 2019 to 2025, about twice the US rate.
What makes Nevada's power?
About the power mix
This is where the power generated in Nevada came from in 2025: each source's share of what its power plants made, 45.2 terawatt-hours (TWh) in all. Small rooftop solar panels are not counted.
Other sources used more power than they made in 2025, so they are left out.
“Other sources” is the agency's catch-all group.
Natural gas made 51% of the power generated in Nevada in 2025; solar made 31%.
Under 1% each: wind, other biomass and petroleum.
How much new power is proposed in Nevada?
About proposed power plants
These are new power plants that companies have told the US Energy Information Administration they plan to open from 2026 to 2030. Plans can change or be dropped.
Sizes are net summer capacity: the most power a plant can send to the grid on a hot summer day. Each bar's length is its part of all the proposed power.
Companies have proposed 7,065 MW of new power plants for 2026 to 2030; solar is the largest source, 3,726 MW.
For scale, Nevada's power plants could deliver 17,486 MW on a summer day in 2025.
Which grid serves Nevada, and what are its water and hazard risks?
Utilities run their own grid areas for all of Nevada's power sales. 2 natural hazards rate relatively high for Nevada against other states.
Who runs Nevada's power grid?
About the grid
A grid operator, called an ISO or RTO, runs the high-voltage power lines and the power market for a whole region. The share is how much of the state's 2025 power sales were made inside its area.
Where there is none, each utility runs its own part of the grid.
No grid operator: each utility runs its own part of the grid, for all of 2025 power sales.
How much water do Nevada's power plants use?
About water taken in and used up
Taken in is the water power plants draw from rivers, lakes, wells or the sea to cool. Used up is the part that does not go back: most of it evaporates.
This is the water power plants use, not the water data centers use.
The 6 power plants in Nevada that report their cooling water used up 1.6 billion gallons in 2024, 8.2% of the 19.6 billion they took in.
Which hazards cost Nevada most?
About expected annual loss
FEMA's National Risk Index estimates each natural hazard's expected annual loss: the damage it is likely to cause in an average year. It rates each state against the other states, from very low to very high.
Hazards with the same rating are in the order of FEMA's score. Because each hazard is compared with other states, one can rate higher here and still cost fewer dollars than another.
Not rated: coastal flooding (not applicable), hurricane (no expected annual losses) and tsunami (not applicable).
Wildfire rates highest for Nevada against other states: relatively high for the damage it is likely to cause in an average year.
- Relatively highWildfire and heat wave
- Relatively moderateEarthquake, avalanche and winter weather
- Relatively lowDrought, inland flooding and strong wind
- Very lowVolcanic activity, hail, landslide, cold wave, ice storm, lightning and tornado
Are there AI data centers in Nevada?
