Item 5. Other Events

On April 21, 2003, Sierra Pacific Resources (SPR) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Nevada Power Company (NPC) filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada against El Paso Corporation, Sempra Energy, Dynegy Holdings, and a number of other natural gas producers seeking $600 million in total damages. The Complaint alleged, among other things, that as a result of the defendants’ conspiracies and fraudulent behavior, SPR and NPC were forced to enter into natural gas contracts “at artificially high, supracompetitive prices.”

On January 27, 2004, the court dismissed SPR’s and NPC’s complaint against all of the defendants. Counsel for SPR and NPC are reviewing the matter to determine what action, if any, would be most appropriate in response to the decision.
