Overview

• Southern Nevada residential and small commercial customers will see a mandatory daily demand charge on bills starting April 16, 2026.
• The charge is calculated from each day’s highest 15-minute usage interval, added across the month, alongside a reduced per‑kWh rate and the basic service fee.
• The commission authorized recovery of Greenlink transmission construction costs during buildout, allocating 70% to Southern Nevada and 30% to Northern Nevada, and approved inclusion of 50% of recorded costs to date.
• Regulators approved less than two‑thirds of NV Energy’s requested $224 million annual revenue increase and rejected a proposed low‑income service‑charge exemption; they kept Southern Nevada solar on monthly netting but allowed monthly netting for future Northern Nevada systems.
• Consumer and solar groups objected to the decision, and the vote followed a late-released draft as PUCN systems were affected by a recent cyberattack; NV Energy must file final rate adjustments and customer impact estimates by Oct. 1.
