⛽ Las Vegas Gas Prices
⚡️ NV Energy and Southwest Gas to Reduce Rates in July, Bringing Relief to Customers
Both NV Energy and Southwest Gas customers in Southern Nevada can expect lower utility bills starting in July, thanks to reductions in fuel purchase rates.

Revenue impact: Expected to reduce the utility's revenue by $454.7 million.
Fuel rate reductions:

Multifamily residential customers: Rates to decrease by 24.6%, lowering the monthly bill by $12.06.
Revenue impact: Expected to reduce the utility's revenue by $251 million.
Cause of Rate Reduction:
