The fastest way to pay NV Energy is online through your account on their website or mobile app, which processes same-day if you pay before 5 p.m. Pacific time on a business day
NV Energy serves Nevada and parts of California. You can pay your bill through their official website at nvenergy.com, by phone at 1-702-402-5555 (Las Vegas area) or 1-775-834-4700 (Reno area), by mail, or in person at payment centers. Online and phone payments typically post within one business day. If you mail a check, allow 7 to 10 business days for it to arrive and post to your account.
Your bill is due by the date printed on your statement. If you miss that date, NV Energy charges a late fee and may disconnect your service if the account falls 30 days past due. Setting up automatic payments or paying a few days early removes the risk of missing the deadline.

Paying online through your NV Energy account
Log into your account at nvenergy.com using your account number and password. If you do not have an online account, you can create one by clicking "Register" on the login page. You will need your account number (found on your bill) and an email address.
Once logged in, select "Pay My Bill" or a similar option in the menu. Enter the amount you want to pay — you can pay the full balance, a partial amount, or set up a one-time automatic payment for future bills. Choose your payment method: bank account (ACH transfer), debit card, or credit card. Bank account payments are free. Debit and credit card payments may carry a fee, which NV Energy will show you before you confirm.
Submit your payment before 5 p.m. Pacific time on a business day for same-day posting. Payments submitted after 5 p.m. or on weekends and holidays post the next business day. You will receive a confirmation number immediately — save this for your records.
Using the NV Energy mobile app
Download the NV Energy mobile app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. Log in with the same account credentials you use on the website. The app shows your current balance, due date, and usage history in one view.
To pay, tap "Pay Bill" and follow the same steps as the website: enter the amount, select your payment method, and confirm. The app processes payments at the same speed as the website — same-day if submitted before 5 p.m. Pacific on a business day. The app also lets you set up automatic payments and receive bill reminders.
Setting up automatic payments
Automatic payments remove the need to remember to pay each month. You can set them up through the NV Energy website, mobile app, or by calling customer service. Choose whether you want to pay the full bill amount or a fixed dollar amount each month.
Automatic payments typically draft from your bank account on the due date or a date you select. If you choose a date before the due date, your payment will post early and reduce the risk of late fees if you forget to cancel or adjust the payment. You can change or cancel automatic payments anytime through your online account or by calling customer service.
Paying by phone or mail
To pay by phone, call 1-702-402-5555 (Las Vegas area) or 1-775-834-4700 (Reno area). A representative will ask for your account number and payment method. Phone payments are processed the same day and typically post within one business day. Have your account number and payment method ready before you call.
To pay by mail, write a check or money order payable to NV Energy. Include your account number on the check. Mail it to the address printed on your bill — do not send cash through the mail. Allow 7 to 10 business days for the check to arrive and post. To avoid late fees, mail your payment at least two weeks before the due date.
In-person payment locations
NV Energy operates payment centers in Las Vegas and Reno where you can pay in person with cash, check, or debit card. Locations and hours vary by city. Visit nvenergy.com and search "payment centers" or call customer service to find the nearest location and confirm hours before you go.
In-person payments are posted the same day if you pay before the location closes. This method is useful if you do not have online access, prefer to pay with cash, or need to resolve a billing question in person. Bring your account number and a valid form of identification.
What to do if you cannot pay on time
If you know you will miss the due date, contact NV Energy before the deadline. Call 1-702-402-5555 (Las Vegas) or 1-775-834-4700 (Reno) and explain your situation. NV Energy may offer a payment arrangement — a plan to pay your bill in installments over several weeks or months — which stops late fees and prevents disconnection while you catch up.
Payment arrangements are not automatic and require you to call and request one. The sooner you contact NV Energy, the more options you may have. If your account is already past due, a payment arrangement can still help, but the risk of disconnection increases the longer the account remains unpaid.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a fee to pay my NV Energy bill online?
No fee applies if you pay from a bank account (ACH transfer). Debit and credit card payments may carry a fee of $1 to $3, depending on the card type. NV Energy shows the fee before you confirm the payment, so you can choose whether to proceed.
Can I pay someone else's NV Energy bill?
Yes, if you have their account number. You can pay online, by phone, or by mail using their account number. The payment will post to their account. If you want to set up automatic payments for someone else's account, contact NV Energy customer service to arrange it.
What happens if I pay after the due date?
NV Energy charges a late fee if your payment arrives after the due date printed on your bill. If your account remains unpaid for 30 days past the due date, NV Energy may disconnect your service. Reconnection typically requires payment of the full balance plus a reconnection fee.
How do I know if my payment was received?
Online and phone payments show a confirmation number immediately. Check your online account a few hours later to confirm the payment posted. For mailed checks, allow 7 to 10 business days, then log into your account to verify the payment appears in your transaction history.
Can I change my payment due date?
Contact NV Energy customer service at 1-702-402-5555 (Las Vegas) or 1-775-834-4700 (Reno) to request a different due date. They can move your due date by a few days, though the exact options depend on your billing cycle. This is useful if your due date falls on a weekend or holiday.
