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 a petition against it drew more than 6,000 signatures. The developer withdrew its city application in July but pursued the same use on an adjacent 80-acre federally owned parcel, where the Bureau of Land Management approved a right-of-way amendment for data center use. Boulder City voted to oppose the BLM decision and filed a notice of appeal before July 27, 2026, so the project remains contested pending that appeal.

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.
