Why are electricity bills more expensive in one area of Vegas then in another?|110473

Who pays the most on their power bill in las vegas, how much and why?

  • The cost per kilowat hour is the same however Las Vegas is in the Mohave Desert so it depends on which part of the valley you live. Some are hotter than others. The further west toward Red Rock the lower the temp, the further toward Henderson the higher, etc.

    And depending on when the home was built, the insulation could be way different and the type of windows.

  • The general cost is regulated per kilowat hour as a previous poster stated. Several factors go into how much a person pays - the most obvious is how energy-efficient a place is. It can be in total shade, but if the AC isn_t efficient, you_re going to spend out the wazoo when the temperature hits 110! Ditto if the appliances are energy suckers.

  • I agree with the other poster. the utility is regulated and cannot selective charge for service. the cost differntial can be climate, as the poster said. also if you have an older house with poor insulation will cost more to heat and light.
    I have a 2000 house and it does lack in winter insulation so the heat is higher than I prefer. but have to deal with it.
