BEFORE THE PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION OF NEVADA

NOTICE OF AMENDED APPLICATION FOR APPROVAL OF

RENEWABLE NATURAL GAS ACTIVITY

On January 5, 2021, Southwest Gas Corporation (“SWG”) filed with

the Public Utilities Commission of Nevada (“Commission”) an application,

designated as Docket No. 21-01015 (“Application”), for approval of

renewable natural gas (“RNG”) activity related to purchasing RNG to be

included in its supply portfolio.

On May 7, 2021, SWG filed with the Commission an amendment to

the Application to provide supporting information regarding the inclusion of

RNG in its supply portfolio as well as activities related to RNG (“Amended

Application”).

This Notice serves only to notify the public that the Commission has

received the above-referenced filing. It is the responsibility of interested

persons to review the filing and monitor the proceedings to determine

their desired levels of involvement based on how this matter may affect

their unique situations. The details provided within this Notice are for

informational purposes only and are not meant to be an all-inclusive

overview of the filing. The Commission may consider and adopt

alternative proposals not contained within the filing, but which are related

to the subject matter of the filing and supported by substantial evidence.

SWG filed the Amended Application pursuant to the Nevada Revised

Statutes (“NRS”) and the Nevada Administrative Code (“NAC”), Chapters

703 and 704, and including but not limited to NRS 704.9997 and the

Regulations adopted in Legislative Council Bureau File No. R117-19.

In its initial Application, SWG requests that the Commission:

authorize SWG to procure RNG for its sales customers and incorporate

RNG purchases into SWG’s supply portfolio; and to approve SWG’s

request for purchase authority to eliminate the need to have each such

purchase separately reviewed and approved by the Commission.

SWG states that its Amended Application adds the following: detailed

information regarding how RNG purchases would reduce greenhouse

gas emissions in Nevada; an accompanying request for the RNG activity

of participating in state and federal renewable energy programs; and

additional information on the environmental benefits associated with

SWG’s requested RNG activities.

Interested and affected persons may file petitions for leave to

intervene pursuant to NAC 703.578 through 703.600 on or before

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 2, 2021.

A person who wishes to participate as a commenter may file written

comments pursuant to NAC 703.491. A commenter is not a party of

record and shall not take any action that only a party of record may take.

Pursuant to NAC 703.500, only parties of record are entitled to enter an

appearance, introduce relevant evidence, examine and cross-examine

witnesses, make arguments, make and argue motions and generally

participate in the proceeding.

The Amended Application is available for public viewing at the

Commission’s website: http://puc.nv.gov. A person must request in writing

to be placed on the service list for this proceeding in order to receive any

further notices in this matter.
