Nebraska

Description: Nebraska Public Power District does not currently have a standby rate, though they are reportedly in the process of developing a standby rate. This approach is viewed as currently neutral toward CHP.

Omaha Public Power District provides standby service through Schedule 464. This service is entirely demand-based, though the demand charge is moderate. Billing demand is based on the maximum 15-minute monthly demand or 85% of the demand from the previous 11 months, whichever is higher. This service is viewed as not favorable toward CHP.
