Nevada Power Company (NV Energy)

Nevada Power's ORS-TOU rate is an optional plan available to residential customers in separately metered single-family dwellings, not just EV owners. On-peak pricing of 6:01 pm to 9:00 pm daily applies only in the summer period, June through September; the rest of the year, October through May, all hours bill at the off-peak rate with no on-peak window. Charging an EV overnight, after 9 pm, avoids peak pricing during the summer months. NV Energy backs the plan with a first-year guarantee: if the TOU rate costs more than the standard flat rate over the first 12 months, NV Energy credits the difference and offers to return the customer to the standard rate. Exact cents-per-kWh rates are set through PUCN proceedings; the current tariff sheets are published at nvenergy.com/about-nvenergy/rates-regulatory/electric-schedules-south.

NV Energy's residential and commercial EV charger rebate pages (the PowerShift charger incentives that previously sat under its Clean Energy section) no longer load on nvenergy.com as of October 2026, and the only program handbook still online covers a funding cycle that ended in June 2023. This page therefore lists no current charger rebate for Nevada Power customers. Check with NV Energy at cleanenergy@nvenergy.com before budgeting on one. The federal 30C charger credit is effectively closed as well: it required the charger to be placed in service by June 30, 2026, so a new installation should be budgeted at full out-of-pocket cost.

The Residential Managed Charging Program is still open. It requires a qualified networked Level 2 charger, a 36-month commitment, and participation in at least 75% of the managed charging events NV Energy calls. Participants receive a one-time $100 enrollment incentive per qualifying charging port, or $500 if they are income-qualified, plus a $150 annual performance credit on the bill. NV Energy also lists a Vehicle Telematics Managed Charging Pilot for customers who do not want to use a qualifying charger for the program.

Nevada Power serves a concentrated desert urban footprint anchored by Las Vegas, a market with extreme summer peak demand driven by cooling loads. Starting in January 2027, NV Energy will break out a separate daily demand charge on southern Nevada residential and small commercial bills. NV Energy's own example uses $0.14 per kW of each day's peak demand: a household with a 3.5 kW daily peak would pay about $0.49 per day, and NV Energy says it will lower the energy rate at the same time so the average bill stays about the same. The charge is flat across all hours, not a time-of-use price, so charging overnight does not by itself avoid it; what lowers it is keeping the household's highest daily power draw down, for example by charging at a lower amperage or not running a charger at the same time as other large loads. The start date was pushed back from April 2026, and the charge has faced legal challenges. Nevada Power is regulated by the Public Utilities Commission of Nevada (PUCN) as an investor-owned utility.
