LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Twelve Nebraska cities and one regional utility have decided not to sign new 20-year contracts to buy electricity from the Nebraska Public Power District.
The utilities that rejected NPPD's proposed contract are taking advantage of the flexibility the power grid offers today to buy electricity from another provider.
The Lincoln Journal Star reports the towns that decided to change their electricity provider didn't want to be locked into such long contracts.
But NPPD says 62 of its 75 wholesale electricity customers did sign new contracts, to it shows the utility still has broad support.
