NV Energy offers street lighting service that applies to roadway lighting installations (excluding highway and area lighting such as parking lots and other general facility lighting). This service is available to our qualified Nevada and California customers. Based on your needs, you can decide to own or you may have NV Energy own the streetlight facilities.
