Control of NPPD and its operations is vested in an 11-member Board of Directors, popularly elected from within NPPD’s chartered territory, including all or parts of 84 of Nebraska’s 93 counties. Board members serve six-year terms, and decisions made by the Board are done by a majority voting process.
Board members serve as stewards of all utility functions, including power supply, distribution operations, budgets, rates, capital improvements, finances, customer services, cyber security, physical security, and regulatory compliance. The Board also preserves the benefits delivered by public power here in Nebraska.
The Board has created and approved several Strategic Directives. These Strategic Directives will guide us through what we need to do today and the days ahead to power a brighter future for Nebraskans for generations to come.
