The Public Utilities Fee of Nevada launched a draft order that may make rooftop photo voltaic dearer for Nevadans.
“The draft order issued by the Nevada PUC unfairly imposes a compulsory demand cost on all residential prospects in southern Nevada and rewrites the foundations for brand spanking new photo voltaic prospects in northern Nevada,” stated Wil Gehl, InterMountain West senior supervisor for SEIA. “The draft order additionally contradicts the legislature’s intent when it restored internet metering in Nevada. It is a important step backward that makes photo voltaic much less accessible for Nevada households, and we urge the Commissioners to vary course.
“With the federal authorities abruptly ending its help of residential photo voltaic, Nevadans now face an excellent greater hurdle to accessing one of many few methods to scale back their electrical energy payments. The draft resolution discourages non-public funding in dependable, reasonably priced, clear vitality at a time when the grid wants each electron it will probably get to energy Nevada’s financial system,” Gehl continued.
Based on the U.S. Solar Market Insight Q3 2025 report by SEIA and Wooden Mackenzie, over 144,000 Nevada properties have photo voltaic, and Nevada has the third-most residential photo voltaic capability per capita of any state.
