Item 8.01 Other Events

     On May 23, 2011, the Public Utilities Commission of Nevada (PUCN) issued a final order approving Nevada Power Company’s d/b/a NV Energy (NPC) and Sierra Pacific Power Company’s d/b/a NV Energy (SPPC), collectively referred to as the Utilities, application to recover energy efficiency program costs and lost revenues attributed to the measurable and verifiable effects associated with the implementation of efficiency and conservation programs approved by the PUCN. The new rate elements become effective July 1, 2011. The Utilities originally requested a total of $124.7 million of additional revenue for 2011. Of that amount, $70.6 million and $12.1 million were attributable to energy efficiency program rates (EEPR) for NPC and SPPC respectively. In addition, $34.6 million and $7.4 million were attributable to energy efficiency implementation rates (EEIR) for NPC and SPPC, respectively.

     The PUCN order authorized EEPR of $57.8 million and $9.7 million for NPC and SPPC, respectively. With respect to the EEIR, the PUCN authorized recovery of $15.4 million and $2.6 million for 2011, for NPC and SPPC, respectively, or $24.0 million less than the Utilities original request.

     The Utilities previously recorded EEIR revenues of $10.7 million and $6.8 million in 2010 and the first quarter 2011, respectively. The Utilities are assessing the impact of this order on those amounts previously recorded, and will reflect any adjustments in the second quarter of 2011.
