As expected, the completion of the new Harry Allen combined cycle plant was a key factor
affecting our third quarter results, said Michael Yackira, president and chief executive officer
of NV Energy, Inc. Harry Allen concludes our major investments in new efficient generation over
the past five years. I am pleased that our continuing efforts to control spending helped mitigate
the additional costs of this new plant.
The 2010 amounts in the table above incorporate an $8.0 million (pre-tax) accrual for the September
2010 termination of a long term service agreement1. In the third quarter of 2011, after
reaching a settlement with the vendor, NV Energy reversed the accrued termination costs. The
reversal benefitted results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 by $8.0 million
(pre-tax).
Results for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 were adversely affected by $8.6 million of
pre-tax adjustments in connection with energy efficiency implementation rates as previously
disclosed.
Results for both periods ended September 30, 2010 reflect the results of NV Energys California
operations, which were sold effective January 1, 2011. Results for the nine months ended September
30, 2010 also reflect a $7.6 million pre-tax gain on a May 2010 asset sale as previously disclosed.
1 A revision to the September 30, 2010 SEC Form 10-Q as disclosed in the SEC Form 10-K
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.

Gross margin is presented by Nevada Power Company and Sierra Pacific Power Company both d/b/a
NV Energy in order to provide information that management believes aids the reader in determining
how profitable the electric and gas business is at the most fundamental level. Gross margin, which
is a non-GAAP financial measure as defined in accordance with SEC rules, provides a measure of
income available to support the other operating expenses of the business and is utilized by
management in its analysis of its business.
Nevada Power Company and Sierra Pacific Power Company both d/b/a NV Energy believe presenting gross
margin allows the reader to assess the impact of regulatory treatment and their overall regulatory
environment on a consistent basis. Gross margin, as a percentage of revenue, is primarily impacted
by the fluctuations in electric and natural gas supply costs versus the fixed rates collected from
customers. While these fluctuating costs impact gross margin as a percentage of revenue, they only
impact gross margin amounts if the costs cannot be passed through to customers. Gross margin, which
Nevada Power Company and Sierra Pacific Power Company both d/b/a NV Energy calculate as operating
revenues less energy costs, provides a measure of income available to support the other operating
expenses. Gross margin changes are based primarily on general base rate adjustments (which are
required to be filed by statute every three years). Reconciliations between GAAP operating income
and gross margin are provided in tables herein. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered as
substitutes for the GAAP measures.
