This is a list of electricity-generating power stations in the U.S. state of Nevada, sorted by type and name. In 2023, Nevada had a total summer capacity of 14,536 MW through all of its power plants, and a net generation of 42,164 GWh. In 2024, the electrical energy generation mix was 54.8% natural gas, 27.3% solar, 8.4% geothermal, 5.1% coal, 3.5% hydroelectric, 0.7% wind, and 0.1% biomass.
Small-scale solar including customer-owned photovoltaic panels delivered an additional net 2,044 GWh to Nevada's electricity grid in 2024. This was more than 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.

Total generating capacity of the 17 turbines at Hoover dam was derated to 1,596 MW in June 2014 due to persistently low water storage levels and projected further declines.
As of February 2023, there are more than 30 proposed solar projects in Nevada. These have more than 20 GW of solar capacity and 17 GW of battery storage.
