Item 8.01

Other Events

NV Energy, Inc. (“NV Energy” or the “Company”) announced on March 30, 2012, that the in-service date for the One Nevada Transmission Line (“ON Line”) under construction in Eastern Nevada will be further delayed due to on-going efforts to address wind-related damage sustained by some of the tower structures erected for the project. As a result, NV Energy is also further delaying the merger application of its two utilities, Sierra Pacific Power Company d/b/a NV Energy and Nevada Power Company d/b/a NV Energy. The ON Line project is jointly owned by the Company’s operating utilities and Great Basin Transmission South LLC, an affiliate of LS Power, and had originally been expected to enter service in late 2012. At this time, the Company does not anticipate that ON Line will be placed in service until the latter half of 2013.
