AGREEMENT AND NOTICE OF PREHEARING CONFERENCE
On June 10, 2024, Sierra Pacific Power Company d/b/a NV Energy
(“Sierra”) and Callisto Enterprises LLC (“Google” and together with
Sierra, “Joint Applicants”) filed with the Public Utilities Commission
of Nevada (“Commission”) a joint application, designated as Docket
No. 24-06014 (“Joint Application”), for approval of an Energy Supply
Agreement (“ESA”).
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.
Joint Applicants 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, NAC 703.535 and
the Clean Transition Tariff (“CTT”) that is pending approval in Docket
No. 24-05023. Pursuant to NRS 703.190 and NAC 703.527 et seq.,
Joint Applicants request that certain material in the Joint Application
receive confidential treatment.
Joint Applicants state that the Joint Application seeks approval of
a long-term energy supply period within the ESA to meet Google’s
corporate goals regarding carbon-free energy supply on an hourly load
matching basis, which requires access to dedicated clean generation
sources to supply its facilities in a manner that complies with the CTT
requirements and does not result in any increased costs or forgone
benefits for non-participating customers.

intervene pursuant to NAC 703.578 through 703.600 at either of the
