Las Vegas, Nev. – The Public Utilities Commission of Nevada (PUCN) has scheduled two consumer sessions on Wednesday, June 4, to hear public comment regarding NV Energy’s (NVE’s) general rate application to adjust electricity rates charged to its Southern Nevada customers.
In its application, NVE (Nevada Power Co. d/b/a NV Energy) proposes to increase annual revenues by $215.7 million, or 9.09 percent. NVE also proposes implementing a low-income residential assistance rider that would waive the basic service charge for qualifying customers, a daily demand charge rate component for all residential and small commercial rate classes, and modifications to the netting mechanism for new net energy metering systems. NVE is not proposing to increase the current Basic Service Charge of $18.50 for residential service.
If NVE’s request is approved, a typical monthly single-family residential bill is estimated to increase by $14.91 or 9.96 percent, beginning Oct. 1, 2025.
NVE also requests an increase in its authorized overall rate of return from the current rate of 7.43 percent to 7.88 percent. NVE additionally requests an increase in its return on equity from the current rate of 9.5 percent to 10.25 percent.
The PUCN may approve rates as proposed or decrease or increase rates as necessary to ensure rates are just and reasonable. Written comments also may be submitted to the PUCN electronically through the Electronic Filing System on the PUCN’s website, by hand-delivery, or via U.S. Mail.
