Short term rate hikes?? When have our electric rates ever be lowered after a rate hike?? NV Energy really needs government oversight. Each year they seem to spend more and more money, raise our rates, and then they cry poverty again.

Why should consumers flip the bill for conservation and efficiency programs of NV Energy, just last week NV Energy said that profits are up 23% from last year....... Regards, Bizworldusa

We as consumers purchase energy efficient appliances, light bulbs which are crap dim and look ugly we have more efficient furnace and AC we have low flow faucets, gallon and half toilets which takes 3-4 flushes to dump waste in the last seven years with all that in place keeping my temp at 77 in the summer and 69 in the winter I saw my energy bill go from from just about $100 a month in peak of summer to over $250 peak summer NV Energy STOP PICKING MY POCKETS you have enough

worromot, you got it right. Obama and ried are pushing solar like crazy. Anybody seen ried jr's new occupation in solar panels, ahem chinese solar panels. Anybody seen rieds and obamas stock portfolio and seen who thier invested in, in china!!!!! Theres a reason ried and obama are pushing this over-rated crap!!!! Thier mandates are making these power companies shut down thier coal plants and use solar!!!! Yes obama voters you don't know crap, but you won't be able to pay your'e power bills either!@!!!!! Way to go!!!!

We need to get these members of the public utilities commission removed!!! They buy this crap that nevada energy is feeding them every 6 months!!!! In the first place more people have moved out of nevada and they were whining about losing money because people were using less electricity. Now thier saying they might need to build more plants to keep up with the demands. Thier LIARS!!!!! You can bet the PUC is taking money too!!!!! What happened to the ried coal plant that is never used unless they need it in summer hours for peak loads!!!!! This power company is abunch of BSer's and the public utilities commission is a bunch of dumbazzez for believing the spew they keep coming out with!!!! Thier energy programs don't save crap, you mean the ones where they come out and change the thermostats!@!! Don't know who sold them that but it just makes the customer more uncomfortable!!! And most people can't work those pieces of junk!!!! Time to get petitions going to remove these public utilities commission members. We need someone in there that is intelligent enough to demand facts instead of believing them everytime they turn around. This is the 3rd story in the last month to come our about this. The first time they needed more money, the 2nd time they were okay and had a surplus because they didn't even have the quarterly figures in before they started asking for more money!!!!!! Now they need more money and thier blaming it on these energy cutting programs. Cut the programs, were not saving any money because 2-3 times a year they ask for another increase!!!!!!!!! Matbe they need to get rid of thier current accountants and get ones that actually know how to count!!!! Maybe thier unions came out and said they needed more money so they could get thier raises and bonuses!!!!!!!! Nevadans are tired of our energy costs going up everytime we turn around!!!! We cannot afford this, we turn our lights and utilities down and they want more money!!!!

The holidays are coming and the PUC has their hands out for their X-mas bonuses.

Why should consumers flip the bill for conservation and efficiency programs of NV Energy, just last week NV Energy said that profits are up 23% from last year. Come on, its time for the changing of the guard of the PUC, and its time that NV Energy rid itself of it CEO and all other management. I'm telling you Obama supporters, no complaining when Obama raise the energy tax to pay for his pet projects.

I am so sick of NV. Energy and it damn increases. Nv. Energy reported record profits in it's 3rd quarter of this year and now they want more?? What happened to the $156 million Nv. Energy got from Obama's stimulus money? What a monopoly this friggin company has. They have us by short hairs and there is nothing that we can do about it.
