Net Metering Costs To Increase In Nevada

Among the changes coming to Nevada today is a jump in the service charge NV Energy's net metering customers pay.

That charge rises from $12.75 a month to $17.90, and it’s set to rise to $38.51 monthly by the start of 2020.

The separate tariff for rooftop solar energy customers was established by the state Public Utilities Commission at the direction of the state legislature.

Critics have asked the PUC for a delay in the new rates until petitions for reconsideration are evaluated. 

NV Energy in southern Nevada says they have just under 15,000 net metering customers.

KNPR will have more on the PUC's decision Monday morning on KNPR's State of Nevada, starting at 8:50 a.m.
