BEFORE THE PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION OF NEVADA
NOTICE OF JOINT APPLICATION
AND NOTICE OF PREHEARING CONFERENCE
On June 17, 2022, Nevada Power Company d/b/a NV Energy (“NPC”) and Sierra Pacific
Power Company d/b/a NV Energy (“SPPC” and together with NPC, “NV Energy”) filed with the
Public Utilities Commission of Nevada (“Commission”) a joint application, designated as Docket
No. 22-06035 (“Joint Application”), for approval of the first amendment to their Joint Expanded
Solar Access Program (“ESAP”) Plan.
This Notice serves only to notify the public that the Commission has received the above-referenced
filing. It is the responsibility of interested persons to review the filing and monitor the
proceedings to determine their desired levels of involvement based on how this matter may
affect their unique situations. The details provided within this Notice are for informational purposes
only and are not meant to be an all-inclusive overview of the filing. The Commission may
consider and adopt alternative proposals not contained within the filing, but which are related to
the subject matter of the filing and supported by substantial evidence.
NV Energy filed the Joint Application pursuant to the Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”) and
the Nevada Administrative Code (“NAC”), Chapters 703 and 704, including, but not limited to,
NRS 704.7865.
In the Joint Application, NV Energy seeks approval of two Community Based Solar Resource
(“CBSR”) projects: Freedom Park Solar in the NPC service territory and Moana Solar in the
SPPC service territory. NV Energy also seeks approval of an updated timeline for the selection
of future CBSR projects. Additionally, NV Energy states that it implemented the first enrollment
period for the ESAP in 2021. As a result of that enrollment process, NV Energy seeks approval
to amend the applications for the ESAP and extend the time for a customer to update a deficient
application, which, NV Energy contends, will benefit customers applying for the program.
Interested and affected persons may file comments or petitions for leave to intervene pursuant
to NAC 703.578 through 703.600 at either of the Commission’s offices on or before July 20,
2022.
A person who wishes to participate as a commenter may file written comments pursuant to
NAC 703.491. A commenter is not a party of record and shall not take any action that only a
party of record may take. Pursuant to NAC 703.500, only parties of record are entitled to enter
an appearance, introduce relevant evidence, examine and cross-examine witnesses, make
arguments, make and argue motions and generally participate in the proceeding.
