STATEMENT: Despite having a clear chance to reverse course and stand with #NV families, the #PUCN chose to keep the deeply unpopular daily demand charge.
This vote came even after unanimous opposition from everyday Nevadans and consumer advocates who warned the charge violates #NV law.

Let’s continue to stand side-by-side and speak up against NV Energy’s pattern of bad behavior.
At the #PUCN General Consumer Session, Nevadans from every walk of life showed up to demand accountability from NV Energy.
But our work isn’t done. 👇

Our grid needs more electrons and it needs them fast. Xcel's proposal in Minnesota is NOT the right way to do this. We should be letting the private market lead and deploy batteries for 1/3 the cost of what Xcel is proposing in Minnesota.
Xcel wants to install high-voltage batteries across Minnesota for grid reliability and to support Minnesota’s carbon-free power mandate. Skeptics question whether a program that Xcel estimates could cost as much as $430 million over three years is a good use of ratepayer dollars.
Batteries can modernize the grid, but skeptics say Xcel has profits in mind • Minnesota Reformer
Xcel Energy wants to place dozens of high-voltage batteries at commercial sites across Minnesota over the next few years.
