Nevada Power Co rate plans
9 residential plans are currently open to new customers. Some charge different prices depending on the hour — which is where most of the savings hide.
How much does the plan you pick actually matter here?
Run the same three-bedroom house with central air through every plan Nevada Power Co files, and the bill lands anywhere between $902 and $1,411 a year. That $509 spread is not a difference in electricity — it is the same kilowatt-hours, from the same wires, priced under different rules. Nobody sends you a letter when you are on the wrong side of it.
The plan most households land on by default, RS (Residential Service), comes to about $1,363. The cheapest option here, ORM-DDP – Optional Residential Service – Multi Family – Daily Demand Pricing, comes to $902 — a gap of about $461 a year for a household that never changed a single habit. Whether you can actually capture that depends on when you use power, which is what the calculator below is for.
2 of these 7 plans price by the hour. Those are the ones where moving laundry, dishes, or car charging into the cheap window changes the bill; on the rest, the clock is irrelevant and only the total matters. Which camp you belong in is the first question worth settling, because it decides whether shifting your day is worth anything at all.
Watch the fixed charges too. Across these plans they run from $75 to $216 a year before a single kilowatt-hour is counted. For a small household that difference alone can outweigh the per-kWh price, which is why comparing cents per kilowatt-hour on its own quietly misleads.

That adds up to 7,914 kWh a year. Compare it to the total on your bill and adjust until it’s close.
Same usage, different plan
$1,268a year
That is the gap between the cheapest plan you could be on — ORM-DDP – Optional Residential Service – Multi Family – Daily Demand Pricing — and the priciest. Not by using less power. By being billed differently for the same power.

An estimate, not a quote. Supply charges move month to month, and your real usage pattern is not exactly this one. What it does show reliably is the gap between plans — both are priced off the same assumptions.
Before you switch anything
- What is a time-of-use electricity rate?
The same kilowatt-hour, priced differently depending on when you use it.
- Should you switch to a time-of-use electricity plan?
A wide peak-to-off-peak gap is a lever, not a saving. Levers need something to move.
