And in some places, #publicpower. Always fun to point out to public power employees in #Nebraska that they literally work for a socialist organization where the people own the means of production. I used to ask them what would happen if healthcare worked like power here... Aka medicaid for all. 😂😂

Bill to raise bidding thresholds for interlocal power generators draws support from utilities Sponsor Senator Stan Klaus said LB1108 would raise and align bidding thresholds for interlocal electricity-generating entities and public power districts (from $100,000 to levels mirroring public power thresholds up to $750,000 or $1,000,000) and reduce legal-notice publication from three times to one to speed emergency repairs.

Sen. Stan Klaus's proposed LB1108 could revolutionize Nebraska's electricity procurement by raising bidding thresholds and streamlining legal notices, potentially saving millions during urgent repairs.

The Liberal Case for Public Power When power is treated as a public good, it becomes cheaper, more reliable, and better positioned to meet the challenges of the future than privately held electrical utilities have ever demonstrated.

Kansas, let's nationalize @evergypower.bsky.social now.

I'm sure they wouldn't mind if we bought all of their shares, right guys?

Nebraska committee hears LB 1010 to clarify rules for large battery storage; developers warn required contracts, eminent-domain language could scare off private At a Natural Resources Committee hearing, sponsor Sen. Tom Brandt said LB 1010 would define energy storage resources and require Power Review Board review and a power‑purchase agreement with public power entities. Utilities backed the bill as protecting ratepayers; developers and some counties said PPA and eminent‑domain provisions risk deterring investment.

A new bill in Nebraska aims to define energy storage resources, but developers warn that its requirements could deter crucial investments in clean energy.

Committee debate over LB1259 pits economic development proponents against public‑power defenders LB1259 (Grid Modernization Act) would enable behind‑the‑meter generation for very large customers and give the Power Review Board oversight of large‑load contracts; industry proponents said it would attract data centers and rural investment while public power leaders warned it threatens Nebraska's public‑power model and could shift costs to other ratepayers.

Nebraska's Grid Modernization Act is igniting a fierce battle between economic growth advocates and public power defenders—who will come out on top?

Burbank studies prepaid clean‑energy bond that could cut PPA costs by about $1.3 million a year At a Jan. 27 study session the Burbank City Council reviewed a SCAPA-run prepaid clean‑energy bond that would prepay four existing power purchase agreements; staff said the structure could save roughly $1.3 million annually but a cost‑of‑service study is needed to quantify customer rate impacts. No council vote was taken.

Burbank is exploring a groundbreaking clean-energy bond that could save the city $1.3 million annually on power costs!

Clean Power SF proposes March rate cut, warns reserves will be drawn down Clean Power SF staff proposed a midyear generation-rate reduction effective March 1 — a 25% cut for residential and large commercial customers and 20% for other classes — citing higher fund balances and recent PG&E charge increases that raised typical residential bills about $11 per month. Staff warned the change will use reserves and could require rate rebound by mid‑2027.

Clean Power SF is set to slash generation rates by up to 25% starting March 1, but warns this could tap into reserves and lead to future rate increases!

MPPA warns Petoskey: capacity looks solid through 2030 but could turn negative in 2030–31; council hears options Patrick Bolin of the Michigan Public Power Agency told Petoskey’s council on Dec. 1 that the city’s capacity is generally adequate through about 2030 but projections show possible shortfalls in 2030–31 and that the city must file a capacity demonstration under Public Act 341 by early 2027. He urged careful, staged decisions on renewables and storage.

Petoskey's power supply is stable until 2030, but a looming capacity crisis in 2031 demands immediate action from the city council to ensure reliable energy for years to come.
