Nevada Power's payment methods and where to send money

Nevada Power (part of NV Energy) accepts payments through its website, by phone, through automatic bank transfers, by mail, and at in-person locations. The fastest route is online at nevadapower.com — you can pay when ready without waiting for mail delivery. If you prefer not to use the website, you can call 1-702-402-5555 to pay by phone with a representative, or set up automatic payments so the bill comes out of your bank account on a date you choose.

Payments made online or by phone typically post to your account the same business day. Mail payments take 7 to 10 business days to arrive and be recorded, so if your bill is due soon, mailing is not the fastest option. Nevada Power also accepts payments at authorized payment centers around Las Vegas and other service areas — you can find these locations on the Nevada Power website under "Pay Your Bill."

Key Takeaways

  • Online payment through nevadapower.com posts the same business day and requires your account number and a debit or credit card.
  • Phone payments (1-702-402-5555) work the same day but may include a convenience fee depending on your payment method.
  • Automatic bank transfers (ACH) have no fee and can be set up to deduct money on the same date each month.
  • Mail payments take 7 to 10 business days to post, so send them early if your due date is approaching.
  • In-person payment centers accept cash, check, and card payments at various locations throughout Nevada Power's service area.

Online payment through Nevada Power's website

To pay online, go to nevadapower.com and select "Pay My Bill" or "Make a Payment." You will need your account number (found on your bill) and either a debit card, credit card, or bank account information. The website uses encryption to protect your financial information during the transaction.

Online payments are free when you pay from a bank account (ACH transfer). If you use a debit or credit card, Nevada Power does not charge a fee, but your card issuer may charge a cash advance or transaction fee depending on your card agreement — check with your bank if you are unsure. Payments made before 5 p.m. Pacific time on a business day typically post the same day; payments made after hours or on weekends post the next business day.

Automatic payments and bank transfers

Setting up automatic payments means Nevada Power withdraws money directly from your bank account on a date you choose each month. This removes the need to remember to pay and avoids late fees if you forget. You can set up automatic payments online at nevadapower.com, by phone at 1-702-402-5555, or by mail using the authorization form on your bill.

Automatic payments drawn from a bank account (ACH) have no fee. You can change the payment date, pause the service, or cancel it at any time through your online account or by calling Nevada Power. If your bill amount varies month to month, you can set the automatic payment to cover a fixed amount (useful if you want to pay a set sum each month) or you can pay the full bill amount automatically each month.

Phone and in-person payment options

To pay by phone, call 1-702-402-5555 and speak with a representative. Have your account number and payment method ready. Phone payments are processed the same business day. Nevada Power may charge a convenience fee for phone payments made with a credit or debit card, though ACH payments by phone typically have no fee — ask the representative before confirming the payment.

In-person payments can be made at authorized Nevada Power payment centers and partner locations (such as certain grocery stores or utility payment centers) throughout the Las Vegas Valley and other service areas. These locations accept cash, check, and card payments. Find the nearest location by entering your zip code on nevadapower.com under "Pay Your Bill" or by calling 1-702-402-5555. In-person payments are recorded when ready when you pay.

Mailing a check or money order

If you pay by mail, write your account number on the check or money order and send it to the address printed on your bill. Nevada Power's mailing address is typically listed on the back of your bill statement. Mail payments take 7 to 10 business days to arrive and be posted to your account, so send payment at least two weeks before your due date to avoid a late fee.

Keep a record of the check number and the date you mailed it. If your payment does not appear on your account within 10 business days, contact Nevada Power at 1-702-402-5555 to confirm receipt. Do not send cash by mail — use a check, money order, or one of the other payment methods instead.

Late fees and what happens if you miss a due date

Nevada Power charges a late fee if your payment is not received by the due date shown on your bill. The late fee is a percentage of your bill amount (the exact percentage is set by Nevada's Public Utilities Commission and can be found in Nevada Power's tariff schedule). If you miss a payment, Nevada Power will send you a notice and may eventually disconnect your service if the account remains unpaid.

If you are having trouble paying your bill, contact Nevada Power before the due date to discuss options. Nevada Power offers budget billing (which spreads your annual costs into equal monthly payments) and may have programs to help customers in financial hardship. You can also reach out to local community action agencies or nonprofits in Nevada that information with utility bills.
