Nebraska Public Power District is Nebraska’s largest electric utility and is a public corporation and political subdivision of the state of Nebraska. This electric utility was formed in 1970, when Consumers Public Power District, Platte Valley Public Power and Irrigation District (PVPPID) and Nebraska Public Power System merged to become Nebraska Public Power District.
The utility is governed by an 11-member Board of Directors, who are popularly elected from NPPD’s chartered territory. The company’s profits mainly result from wholesale power supply agreements with 52 towns and 24 rural public power districts and rural cooperatives who rely totally or partially on NPPD’s electrical system, as well as serving approximately 80 communities at a retail level. NPPD uses a combination of generating facilities including a nuclear plant, three steam plants, a combined cycle facility, two wind generation facilities, nine hydro facilities, nine diesel plants, and three peaking units in order to meet the needs of its customers.
