Supply vs demand
EIA-860M generator inventory · projects pipeline
773 MW of new generation came online in Nevada over the last 18 months; another 5.2 GW is in the EIA-860M pipeline (under construction or filed); 676 MW is on the books to retire over the next 36. Meanwhile 2.7 GW of data-center load is in construction or permitted in the state. Largest plant in the supply pipeline: Sierra Solar Hybrid (Churchill County) — 800 MW of solar, first online 2027-04. On the way out: Desert Star Energy Center — 450 MW of natural gas, retiring 2027-04.
Two bars, one scale. Demand is sorted by certainty — under construction first, then permitted, then proposed. The dashed rule marks where the supply pipeline runs out; everything to the right of it is demand on file with no supply filed against it.
