Google is to invest hundreds of millions of dollars into its data center footprint in Nevada.

At an event this week, the company announced plans to invest more than $400 million in Nevada this year to support its data center campuses in Storey and Clark counties, outside Reno and Las Vegas, respectively.

Details of how the money will be spent weren’t shared.

“By investing in our technical infrastructure and supporting local organizations, we’re not only enhancing our ability to meet growing demand for Google Cloud and AI, but also contributing to the state’s vitality,” Google Data Centers VP Joe Kava said at an event held at University of Nevada, Reno.

The new funding brings Google’s total investment in the state to more than $2.2 billion since 2019, when the company broke ground on its first 750,000 square foot (70,000 sqm) facility near Las Vegas in Henderson, Clark County.

After buying land further north in Storey County in 2017, Google pledged to invest $600 million into the Henderson site and a new facility in Reno in 2020. The company launched its Storey County data center in the Tahoe-Reno Industrial Center in the following year.

“Google’s continued investment is paramount to the tech hub that continues to grow across the state,” Republican Gov. Joe Lombardo said.

Google launched a Las Vegas cloud region in April 2020.

This week also saw Google announce a $500,000 contribution to the National Forest Foundation to enhance the resilience of the Truckee River watershed and reduce wildfire risk in the Tahoe National Forest.

Google signed a PPA to procure 100MW of geothermal energy in Nevada in June.
