High-voltage substation construction and transformer work across Nebraska. Here is the grid ESS operates in.
Nebraska's electricity comes mainly from coal, which supplies roughly 40 percent, followed by wind at about a third and the Cooper Nuclear Station near Brownville, which provides around 15 percent. Natural gas and hydropower make up most of the remainder. Wind's share has risen steadily over the past decade.
Nebraska is the only state served entirely by public power, with no investor-owned electric utilities, so generation and transmission planning run through public power districts, municipal systems, and cooperatives rather than private companies. All of the state's utilities operate within the SPP market, and integrating growing wind generation while holding to the state's low-cost reliability mandate is a central planning focus. Aging coal units and winter reliability during extreme cold are ongoing considerations.
Shown as regional context, the major electric utilities and grid organizations operating in Nebraska. ESS builds substations and installs EHV apparatus across the western grid and has mobilized wherever the work is since 1978.
