Nevada’s largest energy company is gearing up for a data center boom, and major companies such as Microsoft, Amazon and Switch want to weigh in.

NV Energy filed its plan for load growth and demand and how the utility intends to meet it with the Public Utilities Commission earlier this year. The Integrated Resource Plan, or IRP, projects data centers will drive a dramatic shift in Nevada’s energy landscape, growing from 5 percent of electricity sales today to 64 percent by 2046.

The IRP, filed in May, must go through a rigorous review from the PUC. During the process, multiple people, companies or entities are granted “intervention” in the case.

Thirty entities were granted intervention in the IRP, including eight data center companies. Their filings provide details on the data center facilities they have or are planning to build in Nevada.
