PUCN accepts Sierra Pacific/NV Energy natural gas conservation and efficiency stipulation
Summary
The commission accepted a stipulation resolving docket 24-05039 and approved a $333,000 annual budget for Nevada Energy’s natural gas conservation and energy-efficiency plan for 2025–2027, with a party-agreed program breakdown included in the stipulation.
The Public Utilities Commission of Nevada voted to accept a stipulation resolving issues in docket 24-05039 and to approve Sierra Pacific Power Company/NV Energy's natural gas conservation and energy-efficiency plan for 2025–2027.
Commissioner Brown summarized the stipulation and said the plan’s budget will remain at $333,000 annually for 2025 through the end of 2027. He described the parties’ agreed program-budget breakdown, which the record lists as: $49,400 for in-home gas energy assessments; $110,000 for gas energy reports; $108,100 for a category listed in the record as "Gas Energy Reports" (record text combines items); $47,000 for residential gas energy education; and $18,000 for commercial gas energy education. Brown moved to accept the stipulation and grant the application as modified; Chair Hilly Williamson seconded the motion and the commission approved it unanimously.
Why it matters: The approved stipulation sets program funding levels for the next three years and resolves contested issues in the docket. The commission noted that the 2025 Integrated Resource Plan will supersede the remaining years of this plan.
Next steps: The commission directed staff to issue the appropriate order reflecting the stipulation and budget breakdown.
