In 2015 NV Energy Southern Nevada billed its commercial customers on bundled service an average of 9.90¢ per kWh. In 2025 the figure was 9.74¢, so it fell 1.6% over 10 years.

Average use and average bill are the utility’s commercial sales and revenue divided by its commercial customers and by twelve.

In 2025, 33% of the commercial kWh NV Energy Southern Nevada delivered went to customers buying their energy from a competitive supplier, and 0% of its commercial customers did so.

Residential, commercial and industrial prices at NV Energy Southern Nevada

In 2025 the average commercial price at NV Energy Southern Nevada was 26% below the residential figure and 8.3% above the industrial one.

How NV Energy Southern Nevada’s commercial rates are set

NV Energy Southern Nevada is investor-owned, so its rates are set in cases before the Public Utilities Commission of Nevada and published in a tariff, which is a public document. A commercial account is billed on a rate schedule, chosen by the size of the account and the voltage it takes power at, and a schedule usually combines a fixed monthly charge, a charge per kWh and, above a certain size, a demand charge on the highest rate of draw in the month. The schedule code is printed on the bill. What a business in Nevada can and cannot choose is on the Nevada page.

What these figures can and cannot tell you

• They are averages over every commercial customer. A utility whose commercial customers are mostly large averages fewer cents per kWh than one serving mostly small shops, so a lower figure can mean larger customers and not a lower rate.
• They are not a rate schedule. None of these figures is a charge printed in NV Energy Southern Nevada’s tariff, and nothing here works out a bill from one. The tariff index lists the utilities whose filed schedules are quoted on this site.
• They are annual and final. EIA publishes utility figures once a year. The Nevada page carries the state’s trailing 12 months, which is more recent and still preliminary.
• Bundled and delivery-only are different customers. The two prices describe different parts of the bill and are never added together or averaged.

For one building, the cost estimator gives a range by building type, size and state, and price by utility sets every utility side by side. Commercial vs residential vs industrial compares the classes in every state.
