Regulators have approved a statewide rate for natural disaster prevention that would result in Southern Nevadans paying for Northern Nevada costs.
NV Energy
The Public Utilities Commission approved a plan by NV Energy to decrease rates in an attempt to help customers during the hottest months of the year.
An assemblyman plans to introduce a bill that would direct NV Energy to generate more clean power in-state and buy less energy from elsewhere.
The Public Utilities Commission denied approval for part of an NV Energy plan meant to help Nevada reduce its use of coal.
The utility shared a plan to reduce electricity rates starting in July as consumers get ready for triple-digit summer temperatures.
The Public Utilities Commission said the utility did not prove its plan had a reasonable budget for ratepayers to cover, approving just $70.1 million.
Critics say the plan to construct two natural gas turbines in Clark County for $353 million will raise utility bills for customers.
The utility submitted a proposal to spend $373 million to protect its infrastructure against extreme weather and other events.
NV Energy filed its quarterly rate adjustments and customers in Southern Nevada can expect to see an average increase of 1.54 percent, starting April 1.
NV Energy is proposing a more than $800 million plan to advance the state’s energy independence.
More and more drivers are changing from gas-powered vehicles to electric ones and this is evident with the increasing demand on charging stations.
