Northern Nevada a hot market for data center development

Northern Nevada is rapidly becoming a major hub for data center development, especially for AI computing, attracting numerous tech giants and new entrants. This growth is driven by favorable land prices, robust fiber networks, and efficient government processes, particularly in the Reno-Sparks area and Storey County. While the region addresses challenges related to power delivery and water usage through infrastructure projects and advanced cooling technologies, the data center industry is significantly boosting the local economy and employment.

Nevadans get few details into data centers receiving tax breaks — and it might be illegal

Nevada's state tax break program for data centers, which has approved $457 million in abatements, is under scrutiny for its lack of transparency. Public records law experts suggest that the state's practice of allowing companies to control access to their audits may violate state law, leaving the public with incomplete information about the actual financial costs and benefits.

The hidden costs of North Carolina’s data center boom

A surge of AI data centers in North Carolina is driving up power and water demand, increasing emissions and electricity costs for customers. Developers are proposing massive data center campuses, but regulators are struggling to track the cumulative impact on the state's electricity grid, water resources, and climate goals. Residents in New Hill are concerned about the environmental and infrastructure impacts of a proposed 200-acre data center campus, which could use up to 1 million gallons of water per day. Across the state, data centers are reshaping long-term energy planning, delaying coal plant retirements, and raising questions about who bears the costs.
