Nevada regulators reportedly approve 510 MW behind-the-meter gas plant for Switch data centers
The Las Vegas Review-Journal reports the Public Utilities Commission of Nevada approved a 510 MW behind-the-meter gas plant on about 20 acres at the former Sierra Biofuels site in the Tahoe-Reno Industrial Center, with Switch as primary user. The report describes nine Siemens SGT-800 turbines and says the plant still needs a construction air permit from NDEP. Single secondary source; the approval date (reported as a Tuesday) and vote details are not confirmed against the PUCN docket. Verify.

The buildout in Nevada
We track 2 data center campuses of 100 MW or more in Nevada (2 announced). Together they announce 3,600 MW at full buildout; weighted by build stage, we expect about 756 MW to be running by 2030. That load lands on the West: Mountain/Northwest grid. Named power suppliers: NV Energy. The largest expected load is Tract TRIC Master-Planned Park (420 MW by 2030, announced). Added natural gas burn, from grid-supplied and on-site generation, comes to about 49.3 MMcf/d on an average day.
