What is LISEP?
LISEP is a joint effort of NV Energy and the Nevada Governor's Office of Energy (GOE) that offers incentives for solar photovoltaic (PV) systems that serve low income populations. The program was originally created in 2013 as a pilot program through Assembly Bill 428 and was made permanent with Senate Bill 145 in 2017. GOE began participation in the program during 2015 with funds from the Renewable Energy Account.
