Nevada only allows large customers with demands greater than 1 megawatt (MW) to leave the regulated utility and buy electricity supply from a competitor. To do so, customers must apply to leave the utility at the Public Utilities Commission, and receive approval on a case-by-case basis. Customers may need to pay an exit fee for leaving the utility. Since 1997, only one customer has ever left utility service.
Large users of natural gas in Nevada, often known as transportation-level customers, are able to nominate an alternative provider for their natural gas supplies instead of their local utility. Under transportation service, the customer's marketer is able to use the utility's pipelines to transport the gas to the customer.
