About electricity rates in Nevada
Most Nevadans are served by NV Energy, a regulated investor-owned utility covering both the Las Vegas and Reno areas, while rural cooperatives and small public utilities serve outlying communities. The Public Utilities Commission of Nevada sets residential rates. Voters considered and ultimately rejected a move to a competitive retail market in recent years, though some large businesses have been permitted to buy power from other providers.
Natural gas supplies most in-state generation, and utility-scale solar has expanded rapidly in the desert, alongside geothermal plants and a share of hydropower from Hoover Dam. Southern Nevada's extreme summer heat makes air conditioning the dominant household load, while the higher, cooler north sees more winter heating. Rooftop solar is common, net metering credits are available, and the utility offers optional time-of-use rates.
