BEFORE THE PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION OF NEVADA
NOTICE OF APPLICATION FOR APPROVAL OF AN ENERGY SUPPLY 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.
