flag Nebraska AG sues OPPD over plant changes, citing reliability, affordability risks.

flag Nebraska Attorney General Mike Hilgers has sued Omaha Public Power District over its plan to retire three natural gas units and convert two coal units to natural gas at its North Omaha Station, arguing the move reduces power output by 40% and undermines the state’s public power mandate for affordability and reliability. flag Hilgers claims the changes are unlawful and driven by environmental goals conflicting with legislative mandates, noting the plant already has favorable emissions status and no credible health risks. flag The lawsuit seeks an injunction to halt the plan, warning it could raise costs and reduce grid reliability amid growing demand from AI and technology. flag Hilgers stresses the suit is not about opposing net-zero goals but ensuring public power serves its constitutional purpose. flag OPPD has not commented.
