Rate Schedules & Tariff Analysis
Sierra Pacific Power C&I rates effective Jan 1, 2026 are demand-driven for GS-2 and above, combining a per-kW facilities charge, a per-kW demand charge, and per-kWh energy charges that decline as service voltage rises. GS-2-TOU and GS-3 add summer on-peak premiums (3:01-9:00 p.m., June-Sept), making load-shifting and demand management highly valuable.

|---|---|
| GS-2 Medium General Service | 50-500 kW; demand + facilities + energy by voltage. |
| GS-2-TOU | 500-1,000 kW; time-of-use energy and demand. |

Sierra Pacific Power Company (NV Energy) Data Access FAQ
How does a Northern Nevada business download its interval data from NV Energy?▾
Sign in to MyAccount, open View Usage > Download Usage, select a date range (1+ year), enter an email, and submit. NV Energy emails a link to a ZIP of CSV files containing 15-minute interval usage and a separate demand file, typically within 1-24 hours.
Can a third-party energy consultant access our NV Energy data programmatically?▾
Yes. NV Energy has no proprietary API, but Nectar provides API access to Sierra Pacific Power billing and 15-minute interval data once the customer authorizes the connection — see docs.nectarclimate.com. For a one-time 12-month peak demand report, the Peak Demand Request Form is a free direct alternative.
Does Sierra Pacific Power offer Green Button or EDI?▾
No confirmed Green Button (Download My Data or Connect My Data) implementation exists, and NV Energy is not listed as offering formal EDI transactions for commercial customers. Use MyAccount CSV downloads or Nectar's API (docs.nectarclimate.com) for programmatic data.
Which rate schedule applies to a mid-sized commercial facility in Reno?▾
Facilities with demand from 50 kW up to 500 kW (or 10,000+ kWh/month) fall under Medium General Service (GS-2), which adds a facilities charge and demand charge on top of a lower energy rate. Facilities at or above 500 kW use GS-2-TOU, and those at 1,000 kW+ use Large General Service (GS-3) with time-of-use energy and demand pricing.
Can a large Nevada customer leave bundled NV Energy service?▾
Under NAC/NRS Chapter 704B, large customers (generally 1 MW+) may apply to the PUCN to exit bundled supply and buy energy on the open market while taking Distribution Only Service from NV Energy. An exit/impact fee typically applies, and PUCN approval is required.
