Bill > LB1172

This bill amends existing law to require electric suppliers to maintain seventy-five percent of their generation portfolio as "dispatchable electricity capacity," meaning electricity that is readily available on demand and can adjust its output based on market needs, excluding routine maintenance. Electric suppliers must annually certify their compliance with this requirement to the Nebraska Power Review Board and, if found to be out of compliance, must submit a plan to become compliant within sixty days. The bill also defines "capacity" as the maximum electric power a plant can supply at a given time. This new requirement is added to existing provisions that already address the process for public power entities considering the closure or decommissioning of large dispatchable electric generation facilities, which includes providing notice to the Power Review Board and considering recommendations to mitigate economic harm to workers and communities.
