12-Month Outlook

Reno's tracked data center footprint spans 866 MW across 63 facilities, with Switch operating the largest portfolio at five sites. The NV Energy-Tract lawsuit continues to draw media and transparency scrutiny, signaling ongoing tension around power procurement and grid access in the region.

The DCPI verdict of CAUTION reflects mixed signals on new power availability. This pairing—neither abundant nor severely restricted—means new power projects face neither straightforward access nor insurmountable barriers, but rather requires site-specific negotiation and timing discipline around NV Energy's capacity and network upgrades.

Deal flow in Reno remains minimal with no recent tracked transactions, yet operator concentration tells a different story. Switch's five-site footprint positions it as the dominant player, while Cogent Communications and Microsoft each operate two facilities.

Power procurement dynamics will remain the central variable shaping Reno's competitive position through 2026, particularly as the utility litigation resolves and construction projects reach operational phase.
