Summary
A Clark County judge ruled in favor of NV Energy and the Public Utilities Commission regarding a proposed 14-cent per kilowatt charge for electricity consumption during peak demand periods in Southern Nevada. Attorney General Aaron Ford's Bureau of Consumer Protection opposes the charge, which NV Energy says is needed to address a $50 million annual subsidy for full-service customers. The case is expected to be appealed to the Nevada Supreme Court.
