On Tuesday, March 31, 2026, the Public Utilities Commission of Nevada (PUCN) approved a new start date for the daily demand charge. The new start date is January 1, 2027.
“Today, the Public Utilities Commission of Nevada approved a new implementation date for daily demand to begin on January 2027. This additional time allows NV Energy to further enhance customer tools and support so customers can better understand how daily demand is calculated and what it means for their energy use. Most customers are expected to see a slight decrease in their bills under this structure.”

The daily demand charge, 14 cents per kilowatt-hour (kWh), is calculated based on your highest 15-minute usage period each day.
How the daily demand charge affects rooftop solar customers will not be known until NV Energy releases the new per-kilowatt-hour rate.
