Looking ahead: Week of meetings for PUCN
It's a busy week ahead for the Public Utilities Commission of Nevada.
On Tuesday, commissioners will hold a workshop on new rules connected to Assembly Bill 452, a law passed this year looking to streamline how the commission reviews and updates utility regulations.
On Wednesday, there will be more workshops covering regulatory changes under Senate Bills 326, 417, and 442, each dealing with different energy and infrastructure updates.
Thursday morning, a pre-hearing will determine whether NV Energy should face fines for violating a previous commission order. And that evening, NV Energy will host a consumer session on its integrated resource plan amendment, giving customers a chance to ask questions and weigh in.
All meetings will be held in Hearing Room A and are open to the public.
