Six months into building my practice here in North Las Vegas and I'm blown away by the growth. Data centers everywhere, massive residential developments, and industrial facilities popping up faster than NV Energy can build infrastructure. Just signed a casino client that's expanding their server farm and their load growth projections are through the roof. They're looking at adding 15 MW of demand over the next two years. The utility is scrambling to keep up with transmission capacity, which means lots of temporary rate adjustments and special agreements. Anyone else seeing this kind of explosive growth in their markets? The audit opportunities are endless but the regulatory complexity is getting crazy.
Vegas expansion update - this market is nuts
Update: Just found out my casino client has been getting billed under the wrong rate schedule for eight months. They should have been on Schedule LGS-TOU instead of the standard large general service rate. Difference is about $47K in demand charge savings due to the time-of-use structure being more favorable for their load pattern. NV Energy admitted the error but they're being difficult about the refund timeline. This is exactly the kind of stuff that happens when utilities are overwhelmed with growth and don't have proper account management processes in place.
