WHAT IS A DATA CENTER?
A data center is a secure facility that houses computer servers. These servers store information, run applications, and support computing (streaming movies, Chat GPT, Gemini, CoPilot, etc.).
​
Common features of modern data centers:
-
Rows of computer servers inside climate‑controlled buildings
-
Enclosed air-cooled closed loop cooling systems that manage heat internally
-
Backup power systems to protect data during outages
-
Limited on‑site staff (primarily technicians and security)

WHO IS TS2
TS2 is a wholly owned subsidiary of Townsite Solar 2 Parent LLC (which is majority owned by TS2 Investments, an affiliate of Skylar Opportunities LLC (“Skylar”).
​
Skylar, the developer of the Townsite Solar Project, is a Houston, TX based energy marketing and development company involved in project development and energy supply solutions. 
​
TS2’s partner is Arevon, the owner of the Townsite Solar Project and a leading U.S. based renewable energy developer, owner, and operator headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona.
​
TS2’s teaming partner is Overwatch Capital (Overwatch). Overwatch integrates energy and compute to deliver efficient, scalable solutions for high-demand AI and cloud applications.
WHAT IS BEING PROPOSED
Townsite Solar 2 LLC (TS2) proposes to build a data center known as the Townsite Data Center on 88.5 acres of City owned land immediately north of the existing Townsite Solar 1 project.
Key elements of the proposal:
​
-
Data center buildings which will house the computing equipment that drives the facility’s operations. The project also includes an air-cooled closed loop cooling system designed to limit water use and avoid evaporative cooling.
-
Up to 70 MW Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) will store energy and support reliability.
-
Bio-diesel back-up generators built and operated in accordance with state and county guidelines which will provide backup power.
-
A 230 kV transmission interconnection line that is already constructed by the Colorado River Commission, an affiliate of SNWA, and dedicated for use of a facility on the project site. This connection allows the facility to purchase and transmit its own power without relying on Boulder City’s electric system.
-
$3 billion in planned capital investment including buildings, equipment and supporting infrastructure.
This project will create a modern, energy efficient data center that fits within Boulder City’s land use plans and supports long term economic stability for the community.

WHY THIS LOCATION
Choosing a location for a project of this scale requires the right mix of available land, infrastructure and surrounding land use.
​
The Eldorado Valley offers a combination of factors that are difficult to find elsewhere in the region, including undeveloped land, compatible land use (solar and other industrial use) and proximity to transmission infrastructure. The location is also several miles from residential neighborhoods, which reduces potential noise, heat and visual impacts.
​
TS2 has secured access to the Mead Substation through its executed transmission and interconnection agreement with the Southern Nevada Water Authority. This allows TS2 to obtain power from outside the City and not use power from Boulder City’s electric system. The separation between the project’s power supply and the City’s distribution network was an important part of the design and responds directly to concerns about local electric rates and reliability.
​
TS2 selected Boulder City because the site satisfies the technical needs of the project, fits within the City’s land‑use vision and provides long‑term economic value with minimal impacts to the City’s residents and resources. The goal is to operate in a way that respects the community’s priorities while contributing to its financial future.
