In December 2021, Nebraska became the 20th state to commit to 100% clean electricity by 2050, via a 9-2 vote by the Nebraska Public Power District (NPPD) Board of Directors. The NPDD Board joins the Omaha Public Power District (OPPD) and Lincoln Electric System (LES) in committing to decarbonization.
Nebraska is the only state in the country with fully publicly owned power. These three public utility boards, not the legislature or investor owned utilities, control the state’s electricity.
