PUC approves NV Energy stipulation, allows recovery of about $2.2M in curtailment costs and directs mitigation
Summary
The commission accepted a partial stipulation in combined dockets for NV Energy that allows recovery of approximately $2,200,000 in curtailment costs, and directed NV Energy to propose mitigation steps and meet with staff within 60 days to reduce future ratepayer impacts.
Commissioner Brown presented combined dockets related to NV Energy and Sierra Pacific Power Company covering resets to renewable development charges, energy-efficiency rates, and natural gas expenses. Brown told the commission the parties entered into a partial stipulation resolving most issues but that the order allows NV Energy "to recover approximately $2,200,000 in curtailment costs."
The commission noted curtailment is an "emerging issue" and directed NV Energy to "propose applicable mitigation steps to minimize ratepayer impacts in future filings" and to meet and confer with staff within 60 days to discuss mitigation efforts; evidence of those efforts must be included in future filings, Brown said.
Chair Williamson moved to accept the stipulation and issue the order; Commissioner Brown made the presentation and the motion carried on a unanimous voice vote. The transcript records the dollar figure and the commission's instruction to staff and the company but does not record detailed mitigation proposals.
