The Reno City Council made abrupt changes to a resolution opposing NV Energy’s proposed rate hike.
Initially, the agenda included a resolution opposing the proposed rate hike, which would become the highest basic service charge in the nation. However, without public knowledge or input, the council secretly revised the resolution, presenting and passing a new version that no longer contained any opposition to the substantial rate increase.
NV Energy requested that the rate change go into effect on Tuesday, October 1. The rate hike will increase NV Energy’s revenue by $94.8 million yearly.
If approved, basic service charges for Reno will soar to $45.30, surpassing the current highest known basic service charge in the U.S. at $37.41.
