Nevada Electricity Rate Increases: Protecting Yourself from NV Energy

SBI Editorial DeskUpdated Q1 · 20262 sections

Nevada homeowners are currently experiencing sharp electricity rate increases. With a booming population stressing the grid and volatile natural gas prices dictating generation costs, NV Energy continually petitions the Public Utilities Commission (PUCN) to pass their costs down to consumers.

01

The Summer Peak Rate Danger

Utilities are increasingly relying on severe Time-of-Use (TOU) plans. This means you are penalized heavily for using electricity during the late afternoon and early evening—the exact time when your family gets home and the desert heat is at its worst. Running your central AC during a summer peak can easily triple your daily energy costs.

Fixing Your Costs with Solar

When you buy electricity from NV Energy, you are renting your power. By installing a solar and battery system, you take ownership of your energy production. A fixed-rate solar loan locks in your cost of electricity for the next 25 years, completely insulating your budget from future NV Energy rate hikes.
