NV Energy sued a data-center developer; two planned facilities would consume nearly one-third of the utility’s total generation.

NV Energy, described as Nevada’s largest energy supplier, filed a lawsuit against a developer constructing data centers in the state. The utility accused the developer of attempting to shift electricity-related costs onto other customers.

NV Energy reportedly supplies electricity to 90% of Nevada’s customers. The two data centers under construction would together consume electricity equal to nearly one-third of the utility’s total generation.

The source does not identify the developer, the facilities’ individual power requirements, or their planned commissioning dates. It also does not state whether the nearly one-third figure refers to peak demand, contracted load, or average consumption.
