In 1906 Nevada Power only served Las Vegas, at the time a small group of dusty lots clustered beside the Union Pacific Rail line near what is now the city's downtown core. Today, Nevada Power serves most of southern Nevada, a much larger and far more diverse area that includes some of the fastest-growing cities in the country and a population of over 1 million people.
Members are from all walks of life in southern Nevada, including citizens and business leaders.
Collectively, they represent more than 100 various non-profit groups. At CAP meetings members freely discuss issues they would like the company to address. They bring the concerns of their peer groups to light at the meetings, where they also hear from Nevada Power speakers. CAP's opinions are sought and incorporated into Nevada Power's decision-making process whenever possible. CAP's input has influenced areas such as Nevada Power's charitable giving, consumer education efforts, customer protection and legislative issues.
