CARSON CITY — Temperatures may be soaring, but Nevadans should see a dip in their energy bills under an NV Energy rate decrease that took effect Wednesday.
The overall decrease of 4 percent for residential, commercial and industrial customers reflects a decline in the utility’s costs associated with fuel and purchased power for electricity generation.
Costs for fuel and purchased power are passed on directly to consumers, as are any savings.
For a typical Southern Nevada single-family residence, the average monthly bill of $154.54 will drop about $4.84.
