Omaha Public Power District is a publicly owned electric utility that serves a population
of 770,500 people, more than any other electric utility in the state. It’s ranked as the
12th largest public power utility in the U.S. in number of customers served.

Founded in 1946 as a public entity, the business-managed utility is governed by an
elected board of eight directors. While its headquarters is located in Omaha, Neb., OPPD
has several other locations in its 13-county, 5,000-square-mile service area in southeast
Nebraska.

The majority of OPPD’s power comes from three baseload power plants: North Omaha
Station and Nebraska City Station, both coal-fired plants, and Fort Calhoun Station, a
nuclear power plant. Additional energy comes from three peaking plants and renewable
energy resources, including a landfill-gas plant and wind turbines.

Low rates and nationally recognized customer service are among the advantages
provided to the customers of OPPD.
