Boulder City Data Center (Townsite Solar 2 / BLM parcel)
Townsite Solar 2, LLC. On hold.
Boulder City's Planning Commission voted 6-1 in May 2026 to reject a data center proposal from Townsite Solar 2, LLC near Interstate 11 and US Highway 95, after which the developer pursued the same use on an adjacent 80-acre federally owned parcel where the Bureau of Land Management approved a right-of-way amendment. Boulder City and the Center for Biological Diversity appealed, and on September 1, 2026 the Interior Board of Land Appeals granted a stay pausing construction, finding the appeal likely to succeed because BLM reused an earlier solar-farm environmental review without adequately showing the data center project and its impacts were substantially the same; BLM must respond by September 21, 2026. Boulder City voters will also decide a November 2026 ballot question on whether data centers should be an allowed use in the separate, larger Eldorado Valley Transfer Area.

What it would mean nearby
2026 fuel cost filings is pending; NV Energy says it would take about $4 to $6 off a typical monthly bill. Nothing here changes a bill today. What matters is whether the large load contract survives intact; if it is weakened, the cost of plants built for data centers starts showing up in the next general rate cases around 2027 and 2028. Sierra Pacific 2024 general rate case (docket 24-02026) adds about $2.00 a month to a typical bill from October 2024.
