Bill overview
This bill revises how public utilities, specifically natural gas companies, can adjust their rates. It requires the Public Utilities Commission of Nevada (PUC) to create regulations for natural gas utilities to apply for ‘alternative rate-making plans,’ which allow them to set rates differently than traditional methods. These plans must include provisions like earnings-sharing and consumer education, and the PUC must evaluate them carefully, including conducting consumer sessions and considering potential risks. The bill also extends similar procedures to electric utilities, ensuring a consistent approach to rate adjustments.
