Southwest Gas could pass on over $230 million in project costs to customers According to Southwest Gas' Triennial Plan that was filed with the Public Utilities Commission of Nevada, they could pass over $230 million in project costs on to customers.

📰 ICYMI: #SWGas wants us to pick up the tab for $230M+ in new pipeline projects. And if regulators approve them, those costs will be on our bills for decades.

To the #PUCN: We deserve to know what we’re paying for before we get locked into years of higher bills.

NV Energy could be fined $1M. Here’s what to know The Public Utilities Commission of Nevada has recommended a $1 million fine against NV Energy for attempting to pass repair costs onto ratepayers during its 2025 general rate case.

📣 Nevadans shouldn’t be stuck paying for costs regulators said we don’t owe.

State investigators are considering a $1M fine after the monopoly utility tried to include repair costs, even though the #PUCN had explicitly ordered those costs excluded.

2/ Investigators say the law is clear: when customers are overcharged, we’re owed every dollar, plus interest for the losses those errors caused.

#PUCN Staff also found NV Energy has the data needed to issue refunds going back years, despite the utility's claims otherwise.

3/3 When #NV families are being crushed by rising costs, we deserve transparency, fairness, and rules that put people first, *NOT* utility monopolies.

Here’s more on #NV’s *THREE* #PUCN Board Members: 🔗: buff.ly/ObWyWwo

NEWS: #PUCN has decided to impose a ~$50 electricity bill increase on nearly 1 million customers in Southern Nevada. Where are our leaders? This is all so unnecessary.

STATEMENT: Despite having a clear chance to reverse course and stand with #NV families, the #PUCN chose to keep the deeply unpopular daily demand charge.

This vote came even after unanimous opposition from everyday Nevadans and consumer advocates who warned the charge violates #NV law.

ICYMI: We’re stronger together.

Let’s continue to stand side-by-side and speak up against NV Energy’s pattern of bad behavior.

At the #PUCN General Consumer Session, Nevadans from every walk of life showed up to demand accountability from NV Energy.

But our work isn’t done. 👇

💬 ICYMI: On October 22, Nevadans showed up and spoke out.

From seniors on fixed incomes to solar owners, families across the valley filled the #PUCN hearing room to demand fairness, transparency, and accountability from NV Energy.

That includes:
🚘 Limousine services
🍸 Alcohol tabs
🏨 Hotel stays for executives

All while we continue to struggle with high energy bills.

Customers can share their thoughts at public sessions as NV Energy asks for rate hike There will be two consumer sessions on June 4 to hear public comment regarding NV Energy’s application to adjust electricity rates charged to its Southern Nevada customers.

➡️ First, NV Energy gave partial refunds for years of overcharging.

➡️ Now, they want permanent hikes. Nevadans made it clear at the #PUCN Consumer Session in #LV: We can’t afford more corporate greed.

@KTNV.bsky.social reporting: buff.ly/2fefWmY

✅ AB 452 (2025) – With support from Assemblymember Tracy Brown-May, this bill directs the #PUCN to explore a fuel cost-sharing plan that protects us from volatile fossil fuel prices.

It also requires full refunds *WITH* interest for customers who are overcharged.

These rate increases and confusing billing schemes come from a monopoly utility that’s under investigation for overcharging 80,000 Nevadans nearly $17 *MILLION*.

✍️ Read what real Nevadans told the #PUCN, and sign the petition at 🔗: utilitywatchnv.org

At this week’s #PUCN Consumer Session, we stood shoulder to shoulder with Nevadans to say: Enough.

We’re calling out Daily Demand Pricing.

We’re calling out a 9% rate hike that would raise the utility’s profits by $216M.

And we’re calling for real accountability.

✊🏽 We stood with our neighbors at last night’s #PUCN Consumer Session because we deserve accountability, not confusion.

Relief, not another rate hike.

💬 Catch up on what you missed 🔗: buff.ly/MFYmBZo

💬 Rosalie Miletich, NCL Member, to the #PUCN: “Changing net metering standards for solar just doesn’t make sense to me… Most importantly, working families and retirees on fixed income cannot afford higher bills starting in 2026.

Please reject this increase.”

We demand the #PUCN reject the rate hike, reject the “demand charges”, demand transparency now, and put families before #CorporateProfits 👊

While families tighten their budgets, NV Energy’s parent company, Berkshire Hathaway, is making record profits at the cost of Nevadans 📈💰. The #PUCN must stop rewarding corporate abuse!

We’re BACK at the #PUCN of #Nevada, standing up for working-class & immigrant families who face rising utility bills every year 💸 #NVEnergy wants to raise rates AGAIN & we won’t stay quiet! 🔥

⏰ TOMORROW: The #PUCN is holding a hearing on NV Energy’s proposed rate hikes.

This isn’t just paperwork; it’s the reality for Nevadans who are forced to choose between groceries, medicine, or keeping the lights on.
