We're a publicly-owned utility that's been part of Nebraska's fabric since 1970. Back then, three public power entities came together to form something stronger, and today we serve over 530,000 people across 84 counties. Our generation mix is as diverse as the communities we power - nuclear, coal, wind, water, and natural gas all play a role. This approach helps us keep rates 26.1% below the national average while maintaining steady wholesale rates for eight years running.
What makes us different is who we answer to. An 11-member board elected by the people we serve calls the shots, not far-off shareholders chasing quarterly returns. This means we can make decisions that make sense for Nebraska's long-term future, whether that's keeping the lights on at a family farm during irrigation season or helping a manufacturing plant expand. Our team of 1,900-plus neighbors works around the clock because we live here too, and we understand that reliable electricity isn't just about power - it's about supporting the lives and businesses that make our communities thrive.
