This is a list of electricity-generating power stations in the U.S. state of Nevada, sorted by type and name. In 2024, Nevada had a total summer capacity of 16.7 GW through all of its power plants, and a net generation of 45,528 GWh. In 2025, the electrical energy generation mix was 50.5% natural gas, 30.1% solar, 8.6% geothermal, 5.7% coal, 4.2% hydroelectric, 0.8% wind, and 0.1% biomass.

Small-scale solar including customer-owned photovoltaic panels delivered an additional net 2,272 GWh to Nevada's electricity grid in 2025. This was about six times smaller than the amount generated by the state's utility-scale PV plants. Nevada ranks second in the nation as a producer of geothermal resources, and fourth as a producer of solar resources.
