Sources of Nevada electricity generation: full-year 2022 [1]

  Natural Gas (58.3%)
  Solar (21.2%)
  Geothermal (9.2%)
  Coal (6.4%)
  Hydroelectric (4%)
  Wind (0.7%)
  Biomass (0.1%)

This is a list of electricity-generating power stations in the U.S. state of Nevada, sorted by type and name. In 2022, Nevada had a total summer capacity of 13,541 MW through all of its power plants, and a net generation of 42,591 GWh. [2] The corresponding electrical energy generation mix was 58.3% natural gas, 21.2% solar, 9.2% geothermal, 6.4% coal, 4% hydroelectric, 0.7% wind, and 0.1% biomass. [1]

Small-scale solar including customer-owned photovoltaic panels delivered an additional net 1,385 GWh to Nevada's electricity grid in 2022. This was more than six times smaller than the amount generated by the state's utility-scale PV plants. [1] Nevada ranks second in the nation as a producer of geothermal resources, and fourth as a producer of solar resources. [3]
