Nevada officials to break ground on transmission project to meet surging data center power demands

Nevada officials are breaking ground on the Core Upgrades Project, a 155-mile power-line and substation upgrade in Clark and Nye counties, developed by GridLiance West. The project aims to add up to 1 gigawatt of capacity to meet the surging electricity demand, largely driven by data centers. Governor Joe Lombardo and other officials are attending the groundbreaking, with construction expected to finish in late 2027.
