Installers, contractors and solar service companies whose service area covers Nebraska.
Nebraska is the only state in America where every electric utility is publicly owned — and public power is going solar. Solar generation jumped 147% in 2024, OPPD's 81-megawatt Platteview Solar near Yutan became the largest array in the state, and the 420-megawatt Pierce County Energy Center, with a large battery beside it, is due in 2027. Quietly, though, Nebraskans' own rooftops are the bigger story: customer-owned solar already generates more electricity in Nebraska than its utility-scale farms.
Statewide net metering law requires every Nebraska utility — NPPD, OPPD, LES, and the rural districts alike — to offer net metering for systems up to 25 kW, a generous size for a home. The solar power you use offsets your bill directly; extra generation in a month is credited at the utility's avoided cost rate and carried forward — and any credit still left at the end of your annual cycle is paid out to you instead of vanishing. You keep the renewable energy credits your system earns, too. In Lincoln, LES works with customer-owned systems up to 100 kW.
From Omaha and Lincoln to Grand Island and Scottsbluff, the installers below know each public power district's paperwork.
