Nevada electricity market
Regulated state served by NV Energy (a Berkshire Hathaway subsidiary covering most of the state). Generation mix is shifting fast from natural gas toward solar; Nevada has some of the strongest utility-scale solar resource in the US.
Where Nevada residents save
Limited retail competition for very large customers only. Residential households should evaluate TOU rates (NV Energy offers an optional time-varying plan) and rooftop solar; the state's net-metering framework has stabilized after several policy cycles.
