Which grid operator runs Nevada's biomass power plants?

No single ISO or RTO covers most of them. EIA files each plant against its own balancing authority, which in Nevada is largely a vertically integrated utility rather than an organised market.

How current is this, and what is left out?

EIA-860M for 2026-07. Wood and wood waste, landfill gas, municipal solid waste and other waste biomass. Plants below 1 MW are not surveyed by EIA and so are absent; retirements and additions after 2026-07 arrive with the next monthly release.
