Item 1.02     Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

As previously announced in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed March 22, 2022, Nevada Power Company and Sierra Pacific Power Company, both d/b/a NV Energy and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of Berkshire Hathaway Energy Company, entered into a plan of merger and merger agreement (the "Merger Agreement") on March 18, 2022. The Merger Agreement provided that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, including receipt of all necessary state and federal regulatory approvals, Sierra Pacific Power Company would merge with and into Nevada Power Company with Nevada Power Company surviving (the "Merger").

On April 24, 2023, Nevada Power Company and Sierra Pacific Power Company agreed to terminate the Merger Agreement and no longer propose to merge Sierra Pacific Power Company with and into Nevada Power Company. Nevada Power Company and Sierra Pacific Power Company will continue to operate as they currently do today and there will be no changes to either the existing Nevada Power Company or Sierra Pacific Power Company General and Refunding Mortgage Indentures.
