NV Energy has a new CEO after Doug Cannon announced he's stepping down from his position. 

Brandon Barkhuff previously served as Senior Vice President, General Counsel, Corporate Secretary and Chief Compliance Officer. 

Cannon has accepted a position at American Electric Power,  where he was named president of AEP Transmission, effective June 11. 

“Now more than ever, AEP’s robust transmission network is the catalyst for supporting growth across its footprint and the nation,” Cannon said. “I am committed to working with the AEP team to drive industry-leading results while meeting customers’ changing energy needs.”

Just last week, the Nevada Public Utilities Commission announced in a filing that the utility overcharged thousands of people over more than two decades. NV Energy told 2 News Nevada that it informed the PUC staff of the issue and notified the affected customers and started issuing refunds.
