| Additional Information | In December 2003, the Nevada Public Utilities Commission (PUC) adopted interconnection standards for customers of Nevada Power and Sierra Pacific Power with on-site generation up to 20 megawatts (MW) in capacity. These standards are largely consistent with IEEE 1547 standards, California's interconnection rule (California Rule 21) and the model interconnection agreement developed by the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners (NARUC). Significantly, the PUC determined that Nevada Power and Sierra Pacific Power may assess customer-generators for past fuel and purchased-power expenses in tariffs. Both utilities have incorporated the standards into their tariffs as Rule 15. |
