(The Center Square) - The new demand-based energy payment system by NV Energy will be delayed until October, with the utility company citing an ongoing $63 million refund owed to customers. The demand-based electricity prices were set to begin April 1. The change comes shortly after the energy company admitted to overcharging Nevadans for over two decades and after approval to increase its revenue. “Our focus remains on doing the right thing for customers,” NV Energy President and CEO Brandon Barkhuff said in a Wednesday news release on the program delay. “That means listening to customers, ensuring accuracy in our billing processes and giving people the tools and information they need to understand their energy use.” NV Energy electricity is currently priced at a flat rate per kilowatt hour in Nevada, with rates changing every few months. The company already has an optional demand charge payment method, but the new system would make demand charges mandatory for customers, nearly half of the state population. Demand charges are based on a customer’s 15-minute peak energy usage for the day, then multiplied by four to make an hourly rate for the day. The new system offers lower per-kilowatt hour prices for electricity, but will cost more for customers who use high energy during peak hours. “This convoluted charge will largely be a black box for most residential customers, even those who try to understand their bills and manage their energy use,” Western Resource Advocates, a conservationist group, said of the system’s approval in September. “Most customers do not have the tools necessary to avoid or mitigate a high daily demand charge, and data from NV Energy is not available in real time.” After NV Energy’s demand charges were proposed in June 2025, the three-person Public Utilities Commission of Nevada unanimously approved the move. The PUCN has to approve NV Energy’s mandatory demand charge delay request for it to be implemented later than April 1. The commission did not respond to a request for comment by The Center Square. NV Energy said it wanted to better educate customers on the charge changes before going into effect, as well as to process refunds it owes to customers after overcharging. NV Energy agreed to pay $63 million to 42,856 customers overcharged since 2002 in September 2025. “The Company is focused on the work required to process refunds to impacted customers,” read NV Energy’s motion for extension to the PUCN. The mandatory demand charge energy system would be the first imposed by an investor-owned utility company on residential customers in the U.S.

(The Center Square) – President Donald Trump said Friday he is considering a temporary suspension of shipping regulations that govern energy, agricultural and other cargoes moved between U.S. ports as prices for crude oil, gasoline and diesel fuel continued to push higher on the 13th day of the U.S.-Israeli conflict with Iran. The president said in an early-morning network interview he would “take a look” at suspending the Jones Act for 30 days, potentially allowing foreign-flagged oil and gas tankers, which are cheaper to charter than U.S.-owned vessels, to ship gasoline, diesel, and other liquid fuels between domestic ports. U.S. benchmark West Texas Intermediate crude oil settled Friday at $99.04 per barrel while the national average prices for regular grade gasoline reached $3.63 per gallon, the highest since May 2024, according to AAA data. Consumers in the Northeast and along the West Coast, where oil refineries have closed in the last two decades, would be the biggest beneficiaries of the 30-day suspension, with analysts saying gasoline prices in both regions should decline by about 2 cents to 10 cents per gallon after the waivers go into effect. GasBuddy head of petroleum analysis Patrick De Haan said Thursday that gasoline prices could drop about 5 cents a gallon in the Northeast and on the West Coast over time if the president approves the waivers. Separately, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement released Thursday afternoon that the White House was considering suspending provisions of the Jones Act for national security reasons. The Jones Act, passed by Congress in 1920, mandates that goods moved between U.S. ports must be carried on ships built, owned, and crewed by Americans – a policy that critics say inflates domestic shipping costs. “In the interest of national defense, the White House is considering waiving the Jones Act for a limited period of time to ensure vital energy products and agricultural necessities are flowing freely to U.S. ports,” Leavitt said. Under the law, the secretary of Homeland Security and the defense secretary can request a waiver that is in the “interest of national defense.” Bloomberg reported on Thursday that the Jones Act waivers would apply to commercial ships transporting oil, gasoline, diesel, natural gas and fertilizer. Urea and other fertilizers produced with fossil fuels are in short supply globally as growers in the northern hemisphere enter the critical planting season when usage is high. More than 30% of world trade in nitrogen fertilizer and fertilizer components like sulfur passes through the Strait of Hormuz, now closed except to vessels approved by Iran’s Revolutionary Guard. An Indian-flagged oil tanker was allowed to pass through the Strait on Friday morning following conversations between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian. The Strait remained closed to most shipping, however. In recent years, about 20% of global oil supplies haved passed throuth the Strait of Hormuz in a typical day. The president said Friday that the U.S. Navy is prepared to escort vessels throught the Strait if necessary to protect oil and gas shipments.

(The Center Square) – If a new bill passes in the California Legislature this year, inmates in the state’s prisons would have to wait until they are 65 to qualify for elderly parole. Current law allows inmates who are at least 50 years old and have served 20 years in prison to qualify for elderly parole. Those who are at least 60 and have served 25 years can also qualify. However, with some lawmakers believing that isn’t old enough to qualify for elderly parole, Assembly Bill 2570 would push for the minimum age to be higher. “What we’re trying to do is address the most egregious judgement, and that is someone is elderly at 50,” Assemblyman Tom Lackey, R-Palmdale, who introduced the bill, told The Center Square on Thursday afternoon. “Who believes that? Maybe a teenager, maybe an elementary student, but we’ve got to be better than that.” The minimum age of 65 was proposed in the bill because that's when seniors become eligible to collect Social Security, Lackey said. “The other consideration is being in prison for 20 years,” Lackey added. “We’re not proposing to change that.” AB 2570, which Lackey is introducing with Assemblyman Josh Hoover, R-Folsom, was introduced in late February, right before the scheduled release of convicted sex offender David Allen Funston. Funston, 64, served time in prison for crimes related to child molestation in Sacramento County in the 1990s. He was set to be released on elderly parole on Feb. 26, but early that morning was instead handed over to authorities in Placer County while he awaited court proceedings on new charges related to alleged child abuse in Placer County in 1996. He has pleaded not guilty to the new charges. At the time, authorities in Placer County decided not to pursue that charge because Funston had already been sentenced in Sacramento County and was expected to be in prison for the rest of his life. They also wanted to spare the child in the Placer County case the experience of testifying in a courtroom. That child, now an adult, is now expected to testify against Funston in Placer County court. Advocates for the state’s current elderly parole laws previously told The Center Square that California’s elderly parole program, as it stands now, recognizes the capacity for offenders like Funston to change. They also noted those who perpetrate these crimes against children often endured the same abuse themselves. “Miraculous transformation really can happen when they have the opportunity to heal from that harm,” Keith Wattley, founder and executive director of UnCommon Law, previously told The Center Square. “The elderly parole process recognizes that capacity for change and involves a thorough examination, evaluation and determination that that person is no longer a risk to public safety.” Through a spokesperson, representatives from UnCommon Law told The Center Square on Friday afternoon that the firm does not yet have a position on AB 2570. Assemblywoman Stephanie Nguyen, D-Elk Grove, also introduced similar legislation this week. Her bill, Assembly Bill 2727, aims to permanently exclude California’s inmates from being considered for elderly parole if they are convicted of aggravated sexual abuse of a child, forcible lewd acts on a child and other crimes against children. Nguyen did not respond to calls from The Center Square on Friday afternoon. Democrats on public safety-related committees in the Legislature did not respond to The Center Square's request for comment on Friday.
