Electricity. It's our most powerful energy resource, and we depend on it for nearly everything we do. Today our nation's demand for electricity is at an all-time high -- and is projected to grow at least 40 percent within the next 25 years. That's why we are taking steps now to plan for our electric future.

Making your home more energy efficient can help reduce high energy bills while improving your level of comfort. As an added bonus, it's good for the environment we all share. Nevada Power/Sierra Pacific Power offers a number of programs and services designed to help our customers save electricity and money. These programs include cash rebates, load-control, weatherization, energy efficient lighting and educational programs.
