BLM approves amending an existing solar + battery storage right-of-way grant (NVN-99875) to instead build a data center on 81 of the 85-acre ROW area, citing Executive Order 14318 (Accelerating Federal Permitting of Data Center Infrastructure).
Originally permitted as a 19 MW solar plus 35 MW battery storage project on BLM land, which was never built. BLM approved converting the same right-of-way to a 170 MW / 88.5-acre data center in 2026 under the federal data-center permitting executive order.
