Nevada Customers Can Expect Continued
Savings on Their Bills Throughout Fall/Winter
LAS
VEGAS, May 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Southwest Gas
Corporation's ("Southwest Gas") November
2023 Nevada Annual Rate Adjustment (ARA) application filed
with the Public Utilities Commission of Nevada (PUCN) seeking a statewide reduction of
approximately $11.4 million in
annualized revenues effective July 1,
2024, was approved and implemented two months earlier to
provide Nevada customers with
relief on their utility bills. Rates became effective May 1, 2024, resulting in an estimated annual
reduction for customers of $12.00 in
southern Nevada and $44.00 in northern Nevada.
Southwest Gas communicated in spring 2024 that rate relief for
customers was expected, and this filing is part of that projection.
This decrease follows three quarterly gas cost decreases in a row,
with further relief expected in July – when the utility is
predicting an additional approximate 50% reduction in gas costs.
These reduced rates will carry throughout the fall and winter
months, and customers can expect to continue seeing savings from
these reductions during the upcoming heating season.
Summer is the best time to plan ahead and prepare for winter
energy and cost savings. Simple efforts like purchasing a
programmable thermostat, installing weather-stripping around doors
and windows, sealing leaks and ductwork, and hiring a licensed
contractor for annual heating system maintenance or repairs can all
help keep winter bills down. More tips on how to conserve energy
and save money are available at www.swgas.com/savemoney.

natural gas can all contribute to the fluctuations customers may
see in their bill month-to-month or year-to-year.
