Omaha Public Power District (OPPD) · Omaha metro + 13 surrounding counties · ~400K customers · public power district · elected board
Avoided-cost net billing by label, but MONTHLY netting: OPPD nets all your kWh against each other at the full retail rate (~12.5c/kWh summer, ~10c winter all-in energy) over the billing month, so a battery's day/night shifting is already done for free by the netting — the battery does NOT reduce today's bill (~$0 bill arbitrage). Only the monthly NET EXCESS is credited at avoided cost (Rate 483 — exact c/kWh UNCONFIRMED, oppd.com rate manual PDF flagged). No residential TOU rate — Rate 110 is flat seasonal. $30.00/mo service charge. 100 kW NM cap (raised from 25 kW, Resolution 6457 Aug 2021). $2,000 solar rebate (Trade Ally required — installer-side, not a battery rebate). Smart Thermostat DR ($100+$30/yr — thermostat-only). 2026 rate: 6.3% increase. NO VPP in NE. Federal ITC expired 12/31/2025. NE sales tax applies; property tax exempt (NRS 77-202).

Avoided-cost net billing by label, but MONTHLY netting: LES nets all your kWh against each other at the full retail rate (7.82c/kWh summer / 5.60c winter) over the billing month, so a battery's day/night shifting is already done for free — the battery does NOT reduce today's bill (~$0 bill arbitrage).

Nebraska Public Power District (NPPD) · ~81 retail communities across outstate Nebraska · ~95K retail customers · public power district · elected board
Avoided-cost net billing by label, but MONTHLY netting per statute: NPPD nets all your kWh against each other at the full retail rate (10.04c/kWh summer / 7.90c winter, RateWise Anytime) over the billing month, so a battery's day/night shifting is already done for free — the battery does NOT reduce today's bill (~$0 bill arbitrage).

NPPD has a confirmed 3-tier RateWise TOU (super off-peak 4.68c vs on-peak 22.50c summer / 19c winter — 17.82c spread, widest in the book) but how NM netting interacts with TOU periods is UNCONFIRMED — NO TOU dollar figure quoted until the NM rider confirms it.
