KTNV — We're looking at rain in our forecast for the day.
We're also letting you know about a meeting today that could have NV Energy facing a $1 million fine.
Rain chances return starting on Thursday as leftover moisture from the remnants of Hurricane Priscilla moves into Southern Nevada.
Scattered showers and storms are expected by late morning on Thursday and are expected to continue through the rest of the day.
Looking ahead: NV Energy could face $1 million fine for trying to charge customers for utility's own negligence
State investigators say NV Energy tried to pull a fast one, breaking a promise not to charge customers for repairs that were caused by the utility's own negligence.
This marks the second time this year that the state has caught the utility trying to pass on inappropriate charges to ratepayers.
In late 2022, an excavator damaged electrical wires owned by NV Energy twice because the utility's line-locating contractor mismarked areas.
One incident near Durango and Arby resulted in more than $50,000 in utility property damage. Another near Rainbow and Cheyenne caused an hours-long power outage, impacting more than 2,500 customers.
To settle the violations with the state Public Utilities Commission, NV Energy agreed to pay a $35,000 fine and promised not to seek recovery of any costs from ratepayers, but PUC records show that in February, NV Energy did include costs related to one of the repairs in its rate case.
"It is ridiculous that a utility monopoly from a billion-dollar company is shrugging off this mistake--this, I would say, negligence--as an unintentional mistake," said Camalot Todd with the Nevada Conservation League.
NV Energy claimed the repair costs were inadvertently included due to a typographical error. PUC investigators want the utility to pay $1 million fine. The PUC will set a schedule for a hearing on the proposed fine at its meeting today.
