Nevada (NV) data center power coverage
Real, sourced large-load tariff and interconnection research on file for Nevada — never inferred, never scraped, never implied beyond what's actually been checked.
Large-load tariffs
Nevada Power Co. / Sierra Pacific Power Co. (NV Energy)
Threshold5 MW or more average annual load (Clean Transition Tariff eligibility)
StatusClean Transition Tariff (Schedule CTT) approved by the Public Utilities Commission of Nevada, Docket 24-05023 (Advice Letter No. 674-E), March 13, 2025 -- developed in partnership with Google. Lets an eligible fully-bundled large retail customer (>=5 MW average annual load) receive bundled service from new clean energy resources built for them; this is a voluntary resource-sourcing option, not a mandatory large-load deposit/interconnection-study tariff. Separately, NV Energy has proposed a "Large Load Electric Service Agreement" requiring long-term commitments and infrastructure cost recovery from large loads generally -- still pending as of this research, not confirmed approved.

Interconnection & regulatory guidance
Nevada — NV Energy large-load framework (proposed, not yet a generally adopted tariff)
Contact guidanceNV Energy is the dominant utility across nearly all of Nevada's population centers. As of 2026-10-08, there is no generally adopted large-load tariff with a numeric MW threshold yet -- what exists is a utility-proposed framework plus one bespoke, already-approved customer-specific agreement. Contact NV Energy's large-load/key-accounts team directly and confirm current status before assuming a specific threshold or process.
ThresholdNo general numeric MW threshold has been adopted yet -- NV Energy's proposed framework does not specify one in the sources reviewed.
ProcessNV Energy has proposed a 'Large Load Electric Service Agreement' framework (via its 2026 Integrated Resource Plan) intended to make large customers such as data centers pay for the infrastructure their load drives, rather than socializing that cost. Separately, Nevada's PUC has already approved a one-off 'Clean Transition Tariff' (CTT) jointly filed by NV Energy and Google specifically to expedite carbon-free generation for a Google data-center project -- this is a precedent-setting bespoke agreement, not a generally available tariff any applicant can opt into yet. NV Energy's Greenlink transmission project (cost grew from an estimated $2.5B in 2021 to $4.2B at federal approval in 2024) has reportedly committed roughly 4,000 MW of its ~5,000 MW capacity to data-center operators already.
SourceNevada Current (nevadacurrent.com), KTNV (ktnv.com), and NV Energy's own Data Centers Fact Sheet (nvenergy.com) for the IRP framework and Greenlink figures; coverage of the Google CTT approval cross-checked across multiple of the above. Primary PUC docket text not independently read during this research -- confirm directly before relying on specifics.
