Mapped Nevada data center sites, with their power, water and risk
One app for every Nevada county: data center sites, power, grid and FEMA risk, with hearing alerts and an API. 38 data center buildings are mapped in 3 of its 17 counties, and businesses pay 9.21¢ per kWh for power, 31% below the US average.
38 mapped buildings sit in 3 of Nevada's 17 counties. Clark County has the most: 22.

Business power in Nevada costs 9.21¢ per kWh, 31% below the US, and demand grew 22.1% since 2019.
9.21¢ per kWh in 2025, 31% below the US average of 13.37¢.
Business power use in Nevada grew 22.1% since 2019, more than twice the US rate (+10.5%).
45.2 TWh generated in 2025: natural gas 51%, solar 31%, geothermal 8%.
Under 1% each: wind, other biomass, petroleum. Other (EIA's catch-all) used more power than it made, so it is left out.
7,065 MW of new plants are proposed for 2026–2030, 40% of today's 17,486 MW: solar 53%, other 47%.
No ISO/RTO covers Nevada's power sales; heat waves and wildfires cost it most.
Nevada has no ISO/RTO : utilities balance their own areas for all of its retail sales.
Share of 2025 retail sales, by each utility's balancing authority .
Nevada's power plants took in 19.6 billion gallons of water in 2024 to cool and returned about 91%; 1.6 billion gallons were used up .
Heat waves and wildfires are Nevada's biggest risks: each rates relatively high against other states .
Nevada has 1 AI campus on the list; none of them is listed as being built.
AI campuses in Nevada: Google Storey County.
Campuses without a county on record: Google Storey County. They are left off the county map.

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.
FEMA's drought rating is our water view for each county: how much drought is expected to cost a year, against the rest of the US.
FEMA's National Risk Index estimates what each hazard costs a year, on average, in damage to buildings, crops and people. It then rates each county or state against the rest of the US, from Very low to Very high. "Rate high" here means Relatively high or Very high.
A large data center campus built for AI computing, on Epoch AI's list of AI data centers. "Being built" means Epoch lists no computers running there yet.
The average price businesses paid for one kilowatt-hour of electricity in 2025: their total bills divided by the power they bought. Nevada ranks 5th cheapest of 51 (the 50 states and DC).
An ISO or RTO runs the high-voltage grid and the wholesale power market for a region. Nevada has none: each utility balances its own area.
Electricity sold to businesses: offices, shops and most data centers. EIA does not count data centers on their own; most sit in this group. Nevada sold 11.7 TWh in 2019 and 14.3 TWh in 2025.
Latest 12 months (2025-09 to 2026-08): 14.9 TWh, +4.7% on the 12 months before.
A terawatt-hour is a billion kilowatt-hours: a measure of how much electricity is made or used over time.
New generators that plant owners have reported to EIA for 2026–2030. They are plans, not commitments: some are delayed or dropped.
EIA's own "Other" group, for sources outside its main fuel types. EIA does not split it further in this table, so neither do we.
The organisation that keeps supply and demand matched, minute by minute, in its area. Each utility reports its sales under one.
Taken in (withdrawn): water a power plant pulls from a river, lake or well to cool. Used up (consumed): the part that evaporates and does not go back. These are power plant figures, the grid's water, not data center water.
