Issuance and Sale of Sierra Pacific Power Company’s Series T G&R Notes

On August 15, 2013, Sierra Pacific Power Company d/b/a NV Energy (the “Company”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of NV Energy, Inc., issued and sold $250 million of its 3.375% General and Refunding Mortgage Notes, Series T, due 2023 (the “Series T Notes”). The Company will pay interest on the Series T Notes on February 15 and August 15 of each year, beginning on February 15, 2014. The Series T Notes will mature on August 15, 2023. The Series T Notes were issued pursuant to a registration statement originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on August 20, 2010 (No. 333-168984-01). The Company filed a prospectus supplement with the SEC in connection with the issuance of the Series T Notes.

The net proceeds from the issuance of the Series T Notes, after deducting the underwriting discount and the issuer’s estimated expenses, will be approximately $247.4 million. The Company intends to use all of the net proceeds from the sale of the Series T Notes, together with available cash, to pay at maturity all of its $250 million 5.45% General and Refunding Mortgage Notes, Series Q, which mature on September 1, 2013.

At any time prior to May 15, 2023, the Company may redeem the Series T Notes at its option, either in whole or in part, at a make-whole redemption price. At any time on or after May 15, 2023, the Company may redeem the Series T Notes at its option, either in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Series T Notes being redeemed.
