PUBLIC POWER MONTH<br />
DID YOU<br />
KNOW?<br />
Nebraska is the only state in the nation served entirely<br />
by public power electric utilities.<br />
Community-owned utilities mean that<br />
NEBRASKANS ARE WORKING FOR NEBRASKANS.<br />
Nebraska’s electric utilities use a diverse mix of fuel<br />
resources to generate electricity, such as wind, water, coal,<br />
nuclear, natural gas, solar and methane.<br />
Nebraska’s electric utilities<br />
are governed by locally elected<br />
or appointed boards and councils.<br />
This means<br />
YOU HAVE A VOICE IN THE<br />
DECISIONS MADE BY YOUR<br />
LOCAL UTILITY.<br />
Public power<br />
electric utilities<br />
are not-forprofit,<br />
meaning<br />
there’s no profit<br />
motive and no<br />
shareholder<br />
pockets to pad <strong>—</strong><br />
simply affordable,<br />
cost-of-service<br />
electric rates for<br />
consumers.<br />
Each dollar of a public power employee’s<br />
paycheck circulates through the local<br />
economy an estimated four to five times.<br />
KEEPING LOCAL DOLLARS LOCAL.<br />
Nebraska’s electric utilities pay more than<br />
$100 million<br />
to communities they serve each year in lieu of taxes.<br />
Those dollars stay local, helping<br />
EMPOWER OUR HOMETOWNS.
