Source-reported capacity; not metered consumption. Review underlying documents and notes. Planned capacity may include future phases and is not added to operational capacity here. The source may use facility, grid-feed or IT capacity definitions; consult the linked documents.
Coordinate precision is a source label, not an independent parcel survey. A marker does not confirm utility territory or establish an effect on residential bills.

Source notes
Apple data center at 21505 Reno Technology Parkway W, Sparks, Washoe County — the first data center built at the Reno Technology Park, opened December 2012. Per Apple's July 2024 letter in a Nevada GOED tax-abatement board packet, the campus had grown to four data-center buildings plus a power substation across 1,700 acres, with 200+ staff; Apple committed to further investment (a 2024 expansion capex of ~$742M over 5 years / ~$992M over 10 years is documented in the GOED filing). No site-specific IT-load MW is disclosed. Coordinates are an address-level geocode (ArcGIS, exact-address match); a county-parcel pass could upgrade precision to exact.
Apple financed and built the Fort Churchill Solar project (Apple's first Nevada solar deal, ~20MW) and later the larger Turquoise Solar project (61MWdc, ~180 acres) sited directly inside the Reno Technology Park next to Apple's Sparks data center, connected via a shared substation developed with Apple.
