Following unusually cold weather this winter, many Clark Public Utilities customers are receiving higher than normal electric bills. To help ease the hardship of unexpectedly high bills, the Clark Public Utilities Commission has approved allocation of approximately $10 million in 2016 surplus funds to provide customers with a one-time bill credit.
“Long stretches of freezing temperatures took a toll in Clark County and we saw electric usage increase dramatically,” said Clark Public Utilities Board President, Jane Van Dyke. “Staff came to the board and suggested using a portion of 2016 surplus revenue to help customers with these high bills.”
