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

  1. Proposed

    Townsite Solar 2 withdrew its application to build on approximately 88.5 acres of Boulder City-owned land; reporting indicates the developer intends to pursue a nearby federally owned parcel instead.

    Underlying source
  2. Permitted

    The Bureau of Land Management approved the Townsite Data Center in June 2026 on 88.5 acres of federal land in Eldorado Valley inside Boulder City limits — reported as the first data center ever approved on public lands. The approval stands but is currently stayed: on 2026-09-01 the Interior Board of Land Appeals granted a stay halting construction pending administrative appeal, finding BLM likely violated environmental law by reusing the 2023 environmental review of a 19 MW solar project on the same site. BLM's administrative record was due 2026-09-21 with expedited briefing to follow. Separately, TS2 withdrew its application for the adjacent city-owned site on 2026-07-06.

    Underlying source

Source notes

Proposed as two warehouse-style server buildings plus a 230 kV substation, battery energy storage and perimeter fencing, maximum 40-foot height with dark-sky-compliant lighting. The city page states 200-300 construction/testing jobs and 25-40 permanent technical positions; these ranges are not recorded as point values in the jobs field. Reported as a joint venture of Skylar Capital, Arevon Energy and Overwatch Capital, but that ownership was read only in a search summary and is not asserted here. Status is kept at proposed rather than cancelled: the withdrawal was of the city-land application, not of the project.

Self-supplied through a dedicated project-funded 230 kV line from the Mead substation, completely separate from Boulder City's power distribution system, with on-site battery storage for peak management. Peak demand stated as 167 MW, under 2% of Mead substation capacity.
