Switch LAS19 (southwest Las Vegas expansion)

Switch. Approved.

Clark County commissioners, sitting as the Zoning Commission, unanimously approved Switch's LAS19 expansion, a roughly 56,000 square foot building east of Edmond Street and north of Warm Springs Road at its existing southwest Las Vegas data center complex, on June 17, 2026. Switch says the facility will use a closed-loop cooling system that does not consume water beyond restrooms and kitchenettes; the county added a sidewalk safety barrier condition after resident pushback over environmental and grid impacts.

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.
