Protesters Target NV Energy At Utility Conference As Anger Over Soaring Electricity Prices Boils Over
By Herman Trabish of UtilityDive
Protesters shouting affordability complaints and chanting slogans interrupted a speech by NV Energy President and CEO Brandon Barkhuff on Wednesday. Barkhuff was speaking to some 1,000 utility executives and electricity industry stakeholders during the Edison Electric Institute 2026 conference at the Fontainebleau Las Vegas.
After being escorted out by security, the protesters spoke to the media outside the hotel to demand the cancellation of a daily demand charge for NV Energy customers slated to take effect Jan. 1, 2027, as well as to demand action on clean energy and high electricity bills.
The confrontation shows the extent to which energy costs have stoked public anger, raising pressure on utilities and their regulators.

Here′s Where Electricity Prices Jumped The Most In America (ZeroHedge)

Here's Where Electricity Prices Jumped The Most In America
Electricity prices are becoming one of the fastest-rising household expenses in parts of America.
Using data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), this map, via Visual Capitalist's Dorothy Neufeld, shows how residential electricity prices changed across all 50 states over the past year.
The differences are striking. Washington D.C. saw electricity prices surge 23% year over year, over two times the national average increase of 10%, while several states in the West saw little change or outright declines.
Much of the pressure is being driven by rising grid investment costs and growing electricity demand, including from AI-related data center expansion in some regions.
Electricity Price Growth by State
The following table shows the annual change in average residential electricity prices by state in March 2026.

"Bring Your Own Capacity" - Google And Voltus To Deploy Virtual Power Plant
Google signed a three-year Bring Your Own Capacity (BYOC) agreement with Voltus for up to 100 MW of accredited distributed capacity in the PJM Interconnection. Voltus will aggregate batteries, smart thermostats, electric vehicles, and other flexible assets from homes and businesses into a Google-funded Virtual Power Plant (VPP).
When the grid needs relief, the software dispatches those resources in concert. Participants get paid, and Google gets capacity without waiting for traditional interconnection queues.
A VPP is not a physical plant at all. It is coordinated software that turns thousands of small, customer-sited resources into something that behaves like dispatchable generation. Distributed energy resources (DERs) such as solar panels, batteries, smart thermostats, and flexible loads already sitting on the grid become a decentralized fleet.
Instead of building another transmission line or expensiv...
