Reid Gardner Generating Station was a 557-megawatt coal fired plant on 480 acres (190 ha) located near Moapa, Nevada. It was named after former president of Southern Nevada Power Company, Reid Gardner. The plant was co-owned by current Nevada Power successor company, NV Energy (69%) and the California Department of Water Resources (31%). It consisted of four units. The first three were 100 MW units and were placed into service in 1965, 1968 and 1976 respectively. The fourth unit, placed into service in 1983, produced 257 megawatts (345,000 hp).
Read more on WikipediaReid Gardner is a 220 MW battery storage facility located in Clark County, Nevada. The plant, which began operating in 2023, is owned by Berkshire Hathaway and operated by Nevada Power Co. It utilizes batteries as its primary fuel source and consists of a single generator. The battery energy storage system (BESS) has a storage capacity of 220 MWh, providing a duration of 1 hour, and employs lithium-ion battery chemistry (LIB).
The plant operates within the Nevada Power Company balancing authority and the Western Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC) NERC region. Reid Gardner is ranked as the 14th largest power plant out of 20 in Nevada, and 245th out of 514 nationally. Financial data indicates an installed cost of $2251.88 per kW, as reported to FERC.

Capacity Factor
Positive values indicate net discharge (generation exceeds station load). Negative values indicate net charging. Pure battery storage plants are typically net negative due to round-trip efficiency losses.

This plant's balancing authority participates in CAISO's Western Energy Imbalance Market (WEIM). Direct nodal pricing data is not yet available.
No wholesale contracts disclosed in FERC EQR for this plant.
FERC EQR captures bilateral wholesale energy + capacity contracts ≥$1M/yr filed quarterly by jurisdictional sellers — covers renewable PPAs, thermal energy sales agreements, capacity contracts, and tolling agreements alike. Many plants don't appear: regulated-utility output flows to ratepayers via cost-of-service rather than bilateral contracts; small projects fall below the filing threshold; tax-equity-financed renewables route offtake to investors not utilities; merchant plants sell into ISO clearing markets without bilateral contracts. News-extracted buyer facts (below) may surface contracts disclosed only through announcements.
