Opposition and litigation at this site

Nothing on record as of September 11, 2026. No lawsuit, organized opposition, or contested hearing over Amazon Data Services Reno Data Center Campus in Sparks, Storey County, Nevada appears in the sources this registry tracks. That is an absence in our sources rather than a finding that none exists, and local opposition often predates any coverage a national dataset would pick up.

If you live near this site and something is happening that this page does not show, that is worth telling us. Send us the document and it goes in the record with the source attached. For sites where opposition is already established, see every contested site we track.

Power and water

NV Energy opened a PUCN docket on 2026-05-27 seeking approval of a Large Load Electric Service Agreement with Amazon Data Services, Inc. for electric service to future data center facilities in Sparks, Nevada.

AWS Global VP of Datacenter Operations and Delivery Kerry Person, March 2026: 'Our facilities in Reno will rely on direct air cooling the majority of the time. When water is required, it will come from an allotment specifically designated for industrial use.' Recorded as hybrid rather than air because the design uses water seasonally; no recirculating-circuit detail is published.

Notes on the record

Located in the Tahoe-Reno Industrial Center approximately 15 miles east of Reno, in all or portions of Sections 10, 11, 14 and 15, T19N R22E, MDB&M. NNDA states the project sits at Switch's Citadel Campus; it is tracked separately here because Amazon Data Services, Inc. holds its own air permit, address and buildings. Coordinates are a street-level approximation from OpenStreetMap's Peru Drive geometry - no parcel-confirmed point was published.

What the record does not establish, and the document that would

In every fight on our tracker the decisive fact came out of a public records request. These are the requests for this site.

  • Power capacity in megawatts
  • Tax abatements or other public subsidy
  • Permanent jobs promised
  • Land area
  • How the community has received it
Which document closes each gap
Power capacity in megawatts
The utility's large load service agreement, the interconnection request in the grid operator's queue, or the electrical site plan in the permit file.
Tax abatements or other public subsidy
The abatement, PILOT, or development agreement approved by the county, city, or development authority, and the state's data center sales tax exemption certificate if one was issued.
Permanent jobs promised
The economic development application or incentive agreement, which usually states a job commitment and a clawback.
Land area
The rezoning application, the plat, or the deed recorded with the county.
How the community has received it
Planning commission and governing body minutes, public comment records, and any petition or lawsuit filed in the county.

Distances are between recorded coordinates, many of which are a city or county centroid, so treat them as approximate. Cumulative load on one utility and one aquifer is the question a planning commission rarely asks.
