Nebraska's Electricity Providers and Their Rates


In 2005, Nebraskans paid an average of seven cents per kilowatthour for electricity.  The industrial, commercial, and residential sectors each paid an average rate of seven cents per kilowatthour.  The transportation category had no customers and therefore no rate.  Beginning with the 2003 data, the transportation category replaced the "other" category for the sales of power to electrified rail and urban transit systems whose primary propulsive energy source was electricity.

The state's electricity was supplied by 162 companies whose average 2005 rates ranged from the Western Area Power Administration's 1.58 cents to the City of Beaver City's 11.19 cents per kilowatthour.  Residential rates ranged from the City of Crete's 4.73 cents to the Village of Lyman's 13.02 cents per kilowatthour.  Commercial rates ranged from the Western Area Power Administration's 1.58 cents to the City of Hubbell's 13.38 cents per kilowatthour.  Industrial rates ranged from the Omaha Public Power District's 3.46 cents to the City of Randolph's 13.56 cents per kilowatthour.
