Nearly every state in the U.S. has a public power utility, but Nebraska is the only state served 100% by publicly owned utilities. And, public power is worth celebrating! Here are just a few of the reasons why.
- Low-Cost Power: Not-for-profit, cost-of-service-based rates mean your electricity price only includes the cost of generating and delivering power to you. A bonus for you is that Nebraskans pay some of the lowest electric rates in the nation!
- Reliability: Surplus revenues are reinvested into the power plants, substations, and transmission and distribution lines to safely generate and deliver highly reliable electricity to our customers.
- Local Control: Public power means you have a voice in decisions. The public power utilities in our state have a publicly elected board or city council that lives and works in the communities they serve.
- Customer Focus: Public power utilities prioritize customer service and quick response times. Our employees are your friends and neighbors who always try to do the right thing for you and their communities.
