Nevada Power Co
Average price is revenue divided by sales for the sector and year; it is not a tariff rate. Reliability figures are as reported by utilities to EIA on Form 861 and may use different calculation methods. Annual figures: Form EIA-861 for 2024, final release. Monthly state figures run to July 2026.
Nevada Power Co serves 916,385 residential customers in Nevada as an investor-owned utility, according to its 2024 Form EIA-861 filing, with a service territory that touches 2 counties.
Its average residential price that year was 15.33¢ per kilowatthour, about the same as the Nevada average of 15.00¢ and 7.0% below the US average of 16.48¢. The figure is residential revenue divided by residential sales, so it folds in fixed charges, riders and every rate schedule the utility bills under.
That works out to an average residential bill of $146.89 a month on average use of 958 kWh a month. Across Nevada the average bill was $139.39 on 930 kWh, so a bill gap reflects how much power households use as well as what each kilowatthour costs.
For reliability it reported a SAIDI of 73.0 minutes per customer with major event days included and 51.6 minutes with them excluded, calculated under IEEE 1366 standard. The median among Nevada utilities reporting was 85.0 minutes with major event days; this utility's figure is 14% below that median.
The average price is up 24.3% on 2019, against up 25.0% for Nevada as a whole, and down 11.2% on 2023. EIA's early release for 2025, which has not been fully edited, shows 13.08¢.

Sales by sector, 2024

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Residential | 916,385 | 10.5 TWh | 42% | $1,615,271,800 | 15.33¢ |

Customers, sales and revenue count every service type the utility reported (bundled, energy-only and delivery-only). The price column uses bundled service alone, because part-bill revenue would understate it. Sources of energy: 24.2 TWh in total, of which 67.3% was its own net generation and 7.9 TWh was bought wholesale; summer peak demand 6,649 MW.
Reliability
Minutes of sustained interruption per customer in 2024, as the utility reported them under IEEE 1366 standard. SAIFI: 0.66 interruptions per customer with major event days, 0.53 without; CAIDI 110.6 minutes per interruption. EIA's Nevada total across all reporting utilities was 158.9 minutes with major event days and 63.8 without. Major event days are storms and similar events that a utility's chosen method sets apart; methods differ, so treat comparisons as approximate. What SAIDI and SAIFI mean.

Generation at plants it operates, 2025
- Natural gas 97.5% 15.2 TWh
- Solar 2.5% 384.7 GWh
Net generation of 15.6 TWh at power plants this utility operates, from Form EIA-923. It is not the mix delivered to customers: utilities also buy power wholesale (7.9 TWh in 2024), sell generation to others and may co-own plants that another company operates.
