Headquartered in Nevada, NV Energy serves 2.4 million Nevadans -- and a state tourist population of approximately 40 million annually. A 54,500-square-mile Nevada service territory stretches north to south from Elko to Laughlin. Additionally, the company serves more than 46,000 electric customers in the Lake Tahoe-area of California.
Formerly known as Nevada Power and Sierra Pacific Power, our company history goes back to the gold and silver mining boom of the 1800s. Today, NV Energy is committed to being the premier provider of energy solutions for Nevada.
Our three-part energy strategy emphasizes a statewide focus on energy efficiency and conservation, the development of new renewable energy resources and the addition of the cleanest, most energy efficient new facilities fueled with traditional fossil fuels.
At NV Energy, we are also dedicated to making our community a better place. Across Nevada, our employees, retirees and their families volunteered 20,000 hours of their own time to various organizations.
Additionally in 2009, through corporate and employee gifts NV Energy contributed more than $1.3 million statewide to United Way. This level of giving made NV Energy the largest corporate and employee combined supporter of the United Way of Southern Nevada and the United Way of Northern Nevada and the Sierra.
