These describe the original executive instrument provisions selected for this topic. Later amendments and current implementation require separate evidence.

• Section 1: Policy. It is the policy of this State to facilitate data center development that meets the standard this Order establishes, and to measure every application against it. The standard is a partnership whose terms run in both directions. The developer pays the Local School Support Tax in full, bears the costs its project causes and protects the water, the electrical grid and the community that hosts it. The State provides terms that are uniform and known in advance, acts on a complete application without avoidable delay, and works to deliver the electrical power the project requires. The requirement is that Nevadans benefit, on terms that are reasonable and customary to every party and that reflect equity, neutrality and shared benefit with the State, its residents and its existing businesses. No cost of serving a data center is borne by any other ratepayer, and no ratepayer pays more because a data center was built. Where a data center's investment strengthens the grid, the benefit of that investment is not the data center's alone; it inures to the benefit of every ratepayer.
• Section 3: The Nevada Community Support Commitment. (a) The Executive Director shall not bring an application for a data center abatement before the Board unless the applicant has executed the Nevada Community Support Commitment (the "Commitment"), in the standard form published under this Section or, until then, on the terms this Section describes, incorporated into the agreement executed under NRS 754. (b) The Commitment shall obligate the applicant as to water, ratepayers, grid reliability, siting and neighbors, workforce, community benefit, transparency and speed to power, on uniform terms the Executive Director shall publish on or before November 6, 2026 in consultation with the State Engineer, the Public Utilities Commission of Nevada (the "Commission"), and the other agencies, local governments and school districts concerned. At a minimum it shall provide that the facility meets the water standard for its location; that it bears the cost of serving it, so that other customers of the electric utility carry none of that cost, the instrument and terms being for the Commission to determine; that its operation during a declared grid emergency not come at the expense of firm service to homes and existing businesses, that it comply with any load reduction requirement applicable to the facility under the electric utility's approved tariffs or under another tariff, agreement, order or program the Commission approves, including a requirement to reduce load when the electric utility or the balancing authority so directs, relying where necessary and appropriate on alternative or redundant energy systems, the terms of any such obligation being for the Commission to determine, and that a facility providing essential services, such as emergency communications and 9-1-1, public safety, health care, utility control systems, telecommunications, payment systems, transportation control and continuity of government, be treated as an essential service as that program designates, provided that its development and operation will not increase the risk to the stability or availability of power, or the cost of energy, for existing customers; that no payment or exaction beyond the taxes paid and the obligations undertaken is required; that an uncured material failure suspends the abatement and requires recapture, proportionate to the nature and circumstances of the failure, to the extent NRS 360.754 permits, and that a material failure to comply with a grid reliability obligation during a declared grid emergency is a default without a cure period; and that obligations protecting third parties bind successors and survive the abatement.
• Section 5: Responsible Speed to Power Plan. The Director of the Office of Energy shall, on or before December 31, 2026, with the Executive Director and each electric utility and in consultation with large load customers, deliver to the Governor a Responsible Speed to Power Plan identifying the facilities required to serve the large load anticipated through 2036, each point at which the existing process delays that power, including review, siting, cost recovery and procurement, the legislation needed to avoid unreasonable delay, and the commitment of each electric utility to bring that capacity on line. Speed to power, on reasonable and customary terms under which no ratepayer pays more because a data center was built and the benefit of new investment is shared, as set forth in Section 1, is the objective of the Responsible Speed to Power Plan. As necessary and appropriate to expedite the policy objectives set forth in this Order, the Director shall request that the Commission consider opening an investigatory docket on its own motion under subsection 5 of NRS 704.120 on large load service, cost recovery and its timing, flexible service, co-located generation, and service during a declared grid emergency.
• Section 7: Savings clauses, effective date and duration. Nothing in this Order shall be construed to apply to an application the Board approved before its effective date or to an agreement under it; to limit or direct the discretion of the Board; to condition any statutory duty of any agency upon the Commitment; to direct the Commission, alter its jurisdiction, or delay, alter, reopen, supplement or condition any proceeding pending before it or any tariff, agreement, order, approval or resource plan it has approved, an applicant's obligations being conditions of the assistance of this State and not a prerequisite to or condition upon any action of the Commission; or to limit the land use authority of a county or city. This Order is effective immediately, applies to every application not yet acted upon by the Board, and remains in effect until rescinded or superseded by regulation, guidelines adopted under the State Plan for Economic Development, or act of the Legislature.

Sections 1, 3 and 5 set conditions intended to prevent data-center service costs from shifting to other electricity ratepayers; an actual tariff or price outcome requires separate Commission evidence.

The fact counts Social Security retirement, survivors, and disability beneficiaries in current-payment status. Benefit administration concerns a component of that population; SSI, Medicare, and state pensions are separate programs. This relationship does not establish causation. Actions after the fact’s measurement period cannot explain its earlier value.

Carson City, NV — Today, Nevada Attorney General Aaron D. Ford announced that he has filed suit in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims to recover damages for the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA)​​ unlawful breach of grant agreements executed under the Solar for All program, a $7 billion program that lowers energy costs and pollution by bringing solar energy to more than 900,000 households in low-income and disadvantaged communities across the country. The total grant awarded to Nevada Clean Energy Fund was $155,720,000, of which the federal government still owed over $150 million when President Trump illegally terminated the grant. Attorney General Ford represents the Fund, one of 24 plaintiffs who filed this case yesterday, Wednesday, Oct. 15. “President Trump has tried to illegally claw back funds from Nevada after hardworking residents of our state have put in the work to address our energy needs,” said Attorney General Ford. “The president would see Nevadans left high and dry after they committed time and resources to make our state a model of solar energy. Our courts have agreed time and time again that the president cannot rescind funds approved by Congress. I am confident this time will be no different.” Congress created the Solar for All program in 2022 as part of the Inflation Reduction Act, directing the EPA to make competitive grants to states and other entities to deploy solar projects in low-income and disadvantaged areas. The EPA selected recipients and awar

Gross rent includes contract rent and tenant-paid utilities. Rental protections, assistance, and housing supply concern components of rental-market conditions; they do not set Nevada’s median rent. This relationship does not establish causation. Actions after the fact’s measurement period cannot explain its earlier value.

Retained Nevada evidence context: Median gross rent. This record’s connection to the topic does not establish an effect on the measured result.
