NV Energy Green Energy Choice Program (https://www.nvenergy.com/renewablesenvironment/renewables/greenenergy/)
Northern Nevada customers can now choose to go green by participating in the Northern NV Green Energy Choice.
The Northern NV Green Energy Choice offers you the option of using 100 percent or 50 percent renewable energy by electing to pay an additional amount on your monthly bill (based on your usage).
You must fill out a request form (print and mail this PDF) to participate in the program. The monthly amount will be listed on monthly bills as the NV Green Energy Rider (NGR).

How much will my total electricity service cost under the Northern NV Green Energy Choice?
The typical single-family residential customer using 746 kilowatts per month will see an increase of $31.40 under the 100% option or $15.70 under the 50% option.
The typical multi-family residential customer using 445 kilowatts per month will see an increase of $18.73 under the 100% option or $9.37 under the 50% option.
This is your government at it's finest "in your face f..k you."
How nice of them, giving people the opportunity to pay more...
PS: from those numbers it looks like the typical consumer uses a lot of electricity. I know that living in an apartment is not the same as living in typical US house, but we use around 75kwh each month.
