List of power stations in Nebraska
Sources of Nebraska utility-scale electricity generation, full-year 2023:[1] Coal (44.6%) Wind (29.7%) Nuclear (17.2%) Natural gas (5.8%) Hydroelectric (2.1%) Biomass (0.2%) Solar (0.2%) Petroleum (0.1%)
This is a list of electricity-generating power stations in the U.S. state of Nebraska, sorted by type and name. In 2022, Nebraska had a total summer capacity of 10,800 MW through all of its power plants, and a net generation of 40,692 GWh.[2] In 2023, the electrical energy generation mix was 44.6% coal, 29.7% wind, 17.2% nuclear, 5.8% natural gas, 2.1% hydroelectric, 0.2% biomass, 0.2% solar, and 0.1% petroleum. Distributed small-scale solar, including customer-owned photovoltaic panels, delivered 49 GWh to the state's electricity grid in 2023.[1] Nebraska is the only state where all electricity utilities are publicly owned as municipal systems, public districts, or rural cooperatives. The state has few fossil-fuel reserves but has abundant renewable generation and agricultural resources. It is an increasing harvester of wind energy and a major producer of biofuels (primarily ethanol), with further potential for biomass generation. Nebraska has no renewable portfolio standard while supporting net metering. It was a top-ten state for per-capita energy consumption in 2019 due in large part to its energy-intensive agriculture, meat packing, and food processing industries. About 10% more electricity was generated than was consumed in-state.[3] Nuclear power stations

GeothermalThere were no utility-scale geothermal power facilities in the state of Nebraska in 2019. Hydroelectric 
A Kearney canal and dam were completed in 1886, water powered a DC current dynamo by 1889, and an elegant brick powerhouse was constructed in 1890 that also housed a steam engine along with an 800 horsepower turbine. The early system delivered lighting to the city of Kearney and powered a trolley system, but suffered from various equipment and water-delivery issues that persisted after the shift to AC alternating current. Major reworking of bulkhead, penstock and powerhouse components were completed in 1921. The historic powerhouse was ultimately demolished in 2007.[21][22] Solar
