Solar Panels Saved School District Money & Increased Teacher Pay Batesville schools used solar energy to convert a $250K deficit into $1.8M surplus, funding raises of up to $15K for teachers.

#Nevada has added #solar to many schools, but is only a small % of demand. #NVEnergy & #Lombardo are to blame

#WCSD still spends $16.9M p/yr for utilities (FY2025-26 Budget). How is it that Arkansas does better?

After the news broke about the 2027 changes to how Liberty obtains its power from NV Energy, some level of panic settled in at Lake Tahoe. Most of the California side of Lake Tahoe, along with the stretch of the Sierra from Loyalton to Topaz Lake will be affected by changes to how power is transmitted to the area. Liberty’s Lake Tahoe electric service area does not connect to the California ISO grid and relies on transmission from Nevada. An ISO grid is an Independent System Operator (ISO), a neutral, nonprofit organization that manages, operates, and monitors the high-voltage electricity grid in a specific region to ensure reliability and open access. NV Energy’s Katie Nannini, director of the company’s corporate communications, reached out with a statement about the current situation and an explanation of how the process works: > NV Energy has a long history of working cooperatively with Liberty Utilities to ensure customers continue to receive reliable electric service. > > When NV Energy sold certain California electric system assets to Liberty Utilities in 2009, it also agreed to provide energy and generation capacity for a temporary transition period. That transition was originally set for five years and was later extended in 2015 and again in 2020 to give Liberty additional time to put long‑term plans in place. Under the most recent extension, NV Energy agreed to continue providing energy service through December 29, 2025. > > From the beginning, it has been understood that Liberty Utilities would eventually secure its own transmission access and energy supply so it could serve customers independently. Liberty’s 2018 request for transmission service signaled that it was taking the steps necessary to arrange for and deliver energy to its customers, and NV Energy’s planning has consistently reflected that expectation. > > In late 2025, as a good neighbor and in the interest of continued reliability for customers, NV Energy agreed to keep providing service until Liberty’s transmission service is available. We appreciate that Liberty has now taken the next step by asking the California Public Utilities Commission to update its resource plan so it can secure the energy needed to serve its customers going forward. > > The Greenlink West transmission project, expected to come online in 2027, will make this transition possible. Once operational, Greenlink West will allow Liberty to use NV Energy’s transmission system to purchase and deliver its own energy, as originally intended. > > NV Energy remains committed to reliability, transparency and working to support customers during this transition. On Monday, we’ll be speaking to Liberty’s spokesperson for an update on their plans. ### _Related_

What’s next for NV Energy’s Greenlink after feds reject initial environmental analysis? - The Nevada Independent In a rare move that could delay progress on NV Energy’s large-scale transmission line planned for the Highway 50 corridor, the federal Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has ordered its Nevada office to address some environmental groups’ protests against the project.

Hey Nevada! ICYMI, NV Energy wants to charge us for the 15 minutes we use the most energy! We need to take action.

Meanwhile I live in a state ( #Nevada) that gets the most sunny days and I get #NVEnergy PR emails about how their new, underhanded daily demand rate increase probably won’t affect me? Wut? 🤦🏻‍♂️

Lost power for over 5 hours last night - the 20th time this year - thanks #NVEnergy, BerkshireHathaway/Warren Buffet! There was no storm.

Dinner was ham sandwiches eaten by candlelight listening to a 1977 Rolling Stones concert on my emergency radio

The 21st century isn't what I expected

Good for our A.G. Aaron Ford..
Wind energy would also be very effective here. Nevada has great potential for solar and wind energy..we just need the will of our legislature and cooperation from #NVEnergy
These possibilities are our future solutions.

⚡ #NVENERGY PRICE HIKE UPDATE! ⚡

Starting in April, bills will be based on your highest 15 minutes of daily use — not your total usage. This means higher #bills for families, penalties for #solar, and new costs pushed onto Nevadans.

📣 It’s time to demand fair, transparent #energy rates!

Wonderful thunderstorm today, very soul-refreshing.
The 6 hour power outage that followed it ('Our shit broke'-- #NVEnergy), not so much. 😒🔌

Yay, yet ANOTHER power outage, thanks #NVEnergy! 😒
I think this is outage # 10 or so for 2025 (so far). I wonder if it was because this week's sacrificial animal threw itself headlong into their equipment.
Or their shit just broke.
Again.

I have NO doubt that the TWO hours-long outages during our chick incubation adversely impacted our #Chickam hatch, costing us viable embyos & a chick death after hatch.🫤
FFS sake #NVEnergy, drag yourselves into the 20th century*!

*Notice I'm not even asking for them to join us all in THIS century.

LOL, they used the 'animal' excuse again.
They rotate between animals going to Valhalla by flinging themselves into their equipment willy-nilly, and 'something broke'. Five power outages lasting 1 to 5 hours each time over the last few weeks. #NVEnergy is a freakin' laughingstock.

Say NO to another NVEnergy’s rate increase!!!
Nevadans deserve better. Our kids deserve a safe cool home this summer.
