The moment

A century-defining buildout, happening right now in the high desert.

Nevada didn't stumble into this. Open land, direct access to power and transmission, and a government built for builders have drawn an unprecedented wave of digital infrastructure to the Tahoe-Reno Industrial Center and the Apex corridor — the foundation of the AI economy, poured in Nevada concrete.

With that scale comes scrutiny. Questions about power, water, and what communities get in return are fair, and they deserve real answers rather than slogans. The Alliance exists to make sure Nevada's data center story is told accurately, debated honestly, and built responsibly — by the people doing the building, in the state they call home.

What the industry already means to Nevada.

Stand with the industry

Committed and planned investment in Nevada data center infrastructure.

Nevadans employed across the data center sector statewide.

Generated in state and local tax revenue every year.

Tax revenue per job — enough to fund services for roughly 15 residents.

Figures drawn from the Data Center Coalition's 2023 Nevada economic analysis and current Northern Nevada investment reporting. Verify and source-lock all numbers before public launch.

What we stand for

Four commitments. No asterisks.

An alliance is only as credible as the standards it holds itself to. These are ours, and we expect members to meet them.

01 / Power

Reliable Power

Nevada's growth depends on a grid that keeps pace. We back transmission like Greenlink, generation built to last, and a simple principle: data centers fund the infrastructure they require, so ratepayers don't.

02 / Water

Responsible Water

Modern facilities increasingly run closed-loop and air-cooled. In a state where every drop is already allocated, we hold members to genuine water stewardship and to telling the truth about what they actually use.

03 / Opportunity

Economic Opportunity

High-wage jobs, contracts for Nevada businesses, and tax revenue that funds schools, roads, and first responders — in rural counties and metros alike, not just the company town.

04 / Policy

Sound Policy

A constructive partner to the Legislature, the Governor's office, counties, and tribal nations. We bring data and good faith to the table — and we show up before the crisis, not after.

Tray Abney

Executive Director

Leadership

Two decades inside how Nevada actually works.

The Alliance is led by Tray Abney, one of the most experienced government affairs hands in the state. He served as chief lobbyist to a Nevada governor, spent more than a decade as director of government relations for the Reno + Sparks Chamber of Commerce, and founded Abney Government Relations.

He has led lobbying efforts through 10 legislative sessions over 20 years, building durable relationships with elected officials on both sides of the aisle, across city, county, state, and federal government.

"Nevada's data center boom is real, and so are the questions it raises. Our job is to answer them — with facts, with stewardship, and with a seat at every table that matters."

Built by the companies powering Nevada.

Operators, developers, utilities, and the businesses that serve them — speaking with one voice.
