Nebraska's all-public-power grid — a different district in nearly every city

Nebraska is the only state in the country served entirely by public power — there are no investor-owned electric utilities anywhere, only city-owned utilities and public power districts. Omaha Public Power District covers Omaha and neighboring Bellevue. Lincoln Electric System is Lincoln's own municipal utility. Grand Island, Kearney, Fremont and Norfolk each run their own local public power setup — some city-owned, some served by the Nebraska Public Power District.

None of these compete with each other for your address; Nebraska has no retail electricity market of any kind, public or private, so whichever local district holds your block is simply your utility. Gas and water coverage isn't consistently confident yet in our sampling for these cities, so those accounts are worth confirming individually at the address level.

Nebraska utility questions, answered

Why doesn't Nebraska have a private electric company?

Nebraska is the only U.S. state served entirely by public power — every city runs on a city-owned utility or a public power district rather than an investor-owned company. Omaha Public Power District, Lincoln Electric System, and similar local districts cover the cities in our sample.

Who is my electric company in Omaha?

Omaha Public Power District delivered electricity at every sampled address in Omaha and neighboring Bellevue. As a public power district, it's the only option for your address — there's no separate company to shop for.

Is Lincoln Electric System the same as Omaha Public Power District?

No — they're separate public utilities. Lincoln Electric System is Lincoln's own municipal electric utility, distinct from Omaha Public Power District, which covers Omaha and Bellevue. Each Nebraska city in our sample runs its own local public power setup.

Who provides gas and water in Nebraska cities?
