Henderson Utility

NV Energy operates as Nevada Power in Southern Nevada (Henderson, Las Vegas, Boulder City, and surrounding areas) and Sierra Pacific Power in Northern Nevada.

Estimated monthly bill across the year

How to Lower Your Henderson Electric Bill
Nevada is regulated for residential customers. But Henderson’s extreme desert heat makes efficiency upgrades especially impactful — and the exceptional solar resource offers the fastest payback in the country.

NV Energy Programs
Time-of-use rates, smart thermostat rebates, home energy assessments, and demand response programs for bill credits.
Solar Paradise
Henderson has 6+ peak sun hours and some of the best solar economics in the nation — ~7.7 year payback with federal ITC makes rooftop solar a no-brainer.
