NV Energy has filed requests with the Public Utilities Commission of Nevada that would adjust electric and natural gas rates for Northern Nevada customers beginning Oct. 1, 2026.
The utility says the filings reflect changes in fuel, purchased power and natural gas supply costs. Based on what was filed, electric customers would see lower bills while natural gas customers would see a modest increase.
If approved, the electric filing would reduce annual revenues by approximately $22.5 million, while the natural gas filing would increase annual revenues by approximately $3.7 million.
For a typical residential electric customer, the change would mean a monthly bill decrease of about $1.86, or 1.82%. For a typical residential natural gas customer, the change would mean a monthly bill increase of about $1.01, or 3.05%.
Proposed electric rate changes include:
* Domestic Service (D-1): 1.82% decrease (about $1.86 per month)
* Domestic Multi-Family (DM-1): 1.92% decrease (about $1.11 per month)
* Small General Service (GS-1): 2.13% decrease (about $3.15 per month)
* All customer classes combined: 2.29% decrease
Proposed natural gas rate changes include:
* Residential Natural Gas (RNG): 3.05% increase (about $1.01 per month)
* Small Commercial Natural Gas (SCNG): 4.60% increase (about $6.00 per month)
* All customer classes combined: 3.69% increase
