Switch Citadel Campus
Switch. . 130 MW.
Switch's Citadel Campus at the Tahoe Reno Industrial Center opened its first 1.3 million square foot, 130 megawatt building (Tahoe Reno 1) in February 2017 and has continued expanding since. Reported figures for the full build-out vary by source, from 650 megawatts up to 2 gigawatts across as much as 7.2 million square feet; a further expansion phase of roughly 350 megawatts is tracked as underway as of 2026.

What it would mean nearby
The cooling design has not been reported. If it uses evaporative cooling, a 130 MW facility would draw roughly 412,000 to 1.5 million gallons of water a day, about what 4,700 households use.
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.
