Where Sunnova sits
It is a smaller system, serving 7,632 residential customers, which means its fixed costs are spread across a narrow base. At 16.86¢ per kilowatt-hour it is among the more expensive utilities in Nevada, 24% above the statewide average of 13.60¢.
Consumption is close to the national norm at 790 kilowatt-hours a month against 871, so the rate translates fairly directly into the bill.
That matters because a bill is not only the cost of generating electricity: it also carries the cost of the network, and who owns that network changes how it is paid for.
