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.
Reported lifecycle history
- Proposed
Lyon County approved conditional use permits for the two Microsoft-affiliated substations serving the Silver Springs campus; a parcel map consolidating six Microsoft-owned parcels totalling about 274 acres into three was also approved.
Underlying source
Source notes
A distinct Microsoft site from the Victory Logistics District land in Fernley that the tracker already carries. Microsoft owns roughly 274 acres in Silver Springs, restructured into three parcels of about 223.18, 32.6 and 18.7 acres. The BLM decision notice for the 345 kV fold names NV Energy as applicant and does not mention Microsoft or a data center; the Microsoft linkage comes from the county proceedings and the Basin and Range Watch summary. No building programme, capacity figure or construction start has been sourced. Coordinates are the Silver Springs reference point, not a parcel.
Served by two approved substations north of U.S. Highway 50: the roughly 32.59-acre 'Nighthawk' 345/120 kV regional substation, which NV Energy will own and operate as part of its Greenlink interconnection plans, and a separate roughly 18.7-acre 120 kV substation stepping power down for the adjacent data center. A 345 kV transmission fold connecting to Greenlink West and the Nighthawk substation received a BLM decision on June 18, 2026.
