Nebraska

 



Nebraska has the 10th lowest retail electricity prices in the nation. The 2000 state average rate of $52.70/MWh was 22 percent below the national average retail rate. Nebraska power rates are very low because of its low cost coal (63 percent), hydroelectric generation (5 percent) and modest nuclear investment ($0.8 billion) to supply 30 percent of in state generation. Its low cost structure has made Nebraska a net power exporter.
