Rate Increases Since '90 Greatest in Nevada

LCG, Sept. 10, 2003--Californians and New Yorkers can still lay claim to paying the highest rates for electric power, but those rates have not risen as fast since 1990 as those in Nevada, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), the statistical arm of the Department of Energy.

The average increase across Nevada-based investor-owned and municipal utilities and cooperatives taken into consideration was 60%. The average family in the Las Vegas area, served by Nevada Power Co., pays $107.88, up from $62.75, and has experienced a 74% increase. Nevada Power obtains 60% of its requirements for power from other suppliers at peak-demand hours, said the executive vice president of Nevada Power's owner, Sierra Pacific Resources, Michael Yackira. Rates for all state residents are about 30% less than those paid by California residents.

In neighboring Arizona, rates actually fell, by 11.8%, to an average residential rate of 7.91 cents per kilowatt-hour.
