The bagel they save for the regulars. Don't skim, savour.
Summary
A Nevada district court judge denied Vote Solar's petition for judicial review challenging NV Energy's peak demand charge for Southern Nevada residential/small business customers and net metering credit changes in Northern Nevada. The changes were approved by the Public Utilities Commission as part of a $119 million rate hike. This marks the second legal setback this week for opponents, who have vowed to appeal the decision.

The effort to derail NV Energy's peak demand charge on residential and small businesses in Southern Nevada and changes to net metering credit calculations in Northern Nevada suffered a legal setback Wednesday – the second of the week.
Vote Solar argued the Public Utilities Commission of Nevada lacked authority to implement the changes, which were approved last year by the PUC as part of the utility's application for a $119 million rate hike.
