NV Energy Cuts Heatwave Outages | Reno News

NV Energy’s calling off planned power outages in Reno this week — a major relief during a brutal heat wave hitting 103 degrees. Originally set to cut power to nearly 900 people for 7 hours Wednesday and another 400 for 6-8 hours, the company is now rescheduling repairs to cooler, safer times — especially avoiding peak heat. Safety and well-being come first, especially for seniors, those with disabilities, remote workers, and anyone relying on AC. Outage maps may shift; affected residents will get direct updates. Meanwhile, locals are staying cool: Washoe County’s Senior Center offers free water and shade, Bowers Mansion pool has limited slots, North Valleys Splash Park opens Thursday, and Melio Gaspari splash pads are weekend-only. Libraries provide Wi-Fi and air conditioning, while Nevada Cares Campus offers meals and shelter for unhoused neighbors. Stay safe, stay cool, and stay plugged in.
