Nevada Approves 155-Mile Power Line Project to Meet Data Center Electricity Needs
Nevada officials broke ground on the Core Upgrades Project, a 155-mile power line transmission upgrade led by GridLiance West, a NextEra Energy Transmission subsidiary. This project aims to add up to 1 gigawatt of capacity to the region's power grid, specifically to meet rising electricity demand from data centers in the southern part of the state, including Clark and Nye counties. The Bureau of Land Management approved the project following an environmental review, with construction expected to finish by late 2027.
