Headquartered in Nevada, NV Energy serves 1.2 million customers -- and a state tourist population that exceeds 40 million annually. A 54,500-square-mile Nevada service territory stretches north to south from Elko to Laughlin. Additionally, the company serves 46,000 electric customers in the Lake Tahoe-area of California.
Formerly known as Nevada Power and Sierra Pacific Power, our company history goes back to the gold and silver mining boom of the 1800s. Today, NV Energy is committed to being the premier provider of energy solutions for Nevada.
Our three-part energy strategy emphasizes a statewide focus on energy efficiency and conservation, the development of new renewable energy resources and the addition of the cleanest, most energy efficient new facilities fueled with traditional fossil fuels.
At NV Energy we are also dedicated to making our community a better place. Across Nevada, our employees, retirees and their families volunteered 22,390 hours of their own time to various organizations. The total dollar value for NV Energy's employee volunteer efforts for 2007 is estimated to be $420,260 (22,390 hours x $18.77).
In 2007, through Project REACH in southern Nevada and SAFE in northern Nevada, NV Energy helped more than 3,000 households with utility bill assistance. Since 1983, NV Energy has provided more than $5.1 million in utility bill assistance to 43,300 Nevada households.
