List of power stations in Nebraska

This is a list of electricity-generating power stations in the U.S. state of Nebraska, sorted by type and name. In 2023, Nebraska had a total summer capacity of 10,781 MW through all of its power plants, and a net generation of 39,445 GWh.^[2] In 2024, the electrical energy generation mix was 43.4% coal, 32.5% wind, 16.2% nuclear, 4.3% natural gas, 3% hydroelectric, 0.5% solar, and 0.2% biomass. Distributed small-scale solar, including customer-owned photovoltaic panels, delivered 57 GWh to the state's electricity grid in 2024.^[1]

Nebraska is the only state where all electricity utilities are publicly owned as municipal systems, public districts, or rural cooperatives. The state has few fossil-fuel reserves but has abundant renewable generation and agricultural resources. It is an increasing harvester of wind energy and a major producer of biofuels (primarily ethanol), with further potential for biomass generation. Nebraska has no renewable portfolio standard while supporting net metering. It was a top-ten state for per-capita energy consumption in 2019 due in large part to its energy-intensive agriculture, meat packing, and food processing industries. About 10% more electricity was generated than was consumed in-state.^[3]
