NV Energy customers can expect higher electric bills in the new year.
The state Public Utilities Commission approved an order that allows NV Energy to increase electric rates to pay for its investments in infrastructure improvements.
In a news release this week, the public utility said these projects included upgrading transmission and distribution lines and grid technologies.
NV Energy says it is still analyzing the impact of the approved order and how that will affect customers rates beginning January 1.
It will communicate with customers directly once the full impact of the order is calculated
