Current through June 11,
				2024
1. All costs of
				implementing the substantive conservation and energy efficiency programs
				included in a conservation and energy efficiency plan accepted by the
				Commission must be accounted for in the books and records of the gas utility
				separately from amounts attributable to any other activities. All accounts must
				be maintained in such a manner as will allow costs attributable to specific
				programs to be readily identified. These costs must be segregated into the same
				categories as specified in the budget for the 3-year planning period.
2. The gas utility may recover all just and
				reasonable costs for implementing substantive conservation and energy
				efficiency programs included in an application that the Commission has accepted
				either as part of the gas utility's conservation and energy efficiency plan or
				as modified in the gas utility's annual conservation and energy efficiency plan
				report. These costs may include, without limitation, costs for labor, overhead,
				materials, incentives paid to customers, advertising, marketing, measurement,
				verification and evaluation.
3. To
				recover costs incurred in implementing substantive conservation and energy
				efficiency programs, a gas utility using the equity adder methodology pursuant
				to NAC 704.9704 must:
(a) Calculate, on a
				monthly basis, the costs incurred in implementing each program since the end of
				the period used to establish the amount of program costs included in the rate
				base in the most recent application filed by the gas utility to change general
				rates;
(b) Record the total cost of
				implementing each program, as calculated in paragraph (a), in a separate
				subaccount of FERC Account No. 182.3 for each program and record an offset in
				the appropriate subaccount of other FERC accounts;
(c) Maintain subsidiary records of the
				subaccounts of FERC Account No. 182.3 for each program which must clearly
				delineate all costs incurred by the gas utility in implementing each program
				accepted by the Commission;
(d)
				Apply a carrying charge at the rate of 1/12 of the authorized overall rate of
				return to the current balance in the subaccounts of FERC Account No. 182.3 for
				each program not included in the rate base; and
(e) Clear any balance accumulated in the
				subaccounts of FERC Account No. 182.3 for each program in the manner set forth
				in subsection 4 as a component of an application by the gas utility to change
				rates.

Current through June 11,
				2024

				authorized to use the general revenue decoupling methodology must recover or
				refund its deferred general revenue by applying a per therm general revenue
				decoupling adjustment for each applicable customer class. The general revenue
				decoupling adjustment rate must remain in effect until the Commission changes
				the rate.
2. The general revenue
				decoupling adjustment rate must be adjusted annually in an annual application
				filed pursuant to NAC 704.116 after the implementation of the general revenue
				decoupling methodology.
3. The
				general revenue decoupling adjustment rate must be calculated individually for
				each applicable customer class and accounted for as follows:
(a) A separate subaccount of FERC Account No.
				182.3 must be maintained for each applicable customer class, and the balance of
				the subaccount must be used to calculate the general revenue decoupling
				adjustment.
(b) Monthly, the gas
				utility must calculate and record in the appropriate subaccount of FERC Account
				No. 182.3 the deferred general revenue. The deferred general revenue per month
				equals the difference between:
(1) The
				monthly general revenue on a per customer basis authorized in the general rate
				application in which the Commission approved the request to decouple revenue
				or, if applicable, the subsequent change in monthly general rate revenue
				approved by the Commission multiplied by the number of customers billed during
				the period, excluding customers who discontinue service and receive a final
				bill during that period; and
(2)
				The actual monthly general revenue.
(c) Monthly, a credit entry or debit entry,
				if negative, for the amortization of the general revenue decoupling adjustment
				must be recorded in the subaccount of FERC Account No. 182.3. The amortization
				amount must be equal to the amount of revenue derived by applying the general
				revenue decoupling adjustment to the jurisdictional sales of the applicable
				customer class.
(d) The balance of
				the subaccount of FERC Account No. 182.3 at the end of the tracking period
				adjusted pursuant to paragraph (c) must be divided by the total sales for the
				tracking period.

1. In a mobile home

			 alternative seller and in turn charges the tenants for the utility service
			 provided by the utility or alternative seller, and the park:
(a) Is equipped with individual meters for

			 The product is the total amount the landlord may charge each tenant for the use
			 of the utility service.
(2) Any
			 service charge stated on the bill from the utility or alternative seller must
			 be divided by the number of tenants who use the utility service to determine
