Princeton Road Station

Nebraska’s demand for electricity is continuing to grow. Many of the state’s existing companies are looking to expand their businesses, and new companies, particularly those within or related to the agriculture industry, are interested in planting roots in our communities. To prepare for anticipated future energy needs, we are hard at work in the present. Soon, construction will begin on a new facility called Princeton Road Station (PRS). PRS will be built on NPPD-owned land adjacent to our existing plant, Sheldon Station, in southern Lancaster County, just south of Hallam.

We plan to install natural gas-powered generation at PRS - Combustion Turbines (CTs) and Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines (RICE). These units will add a total of 694 megawatts to our fleet, which is estimated to power 318,000 residential homes. Furthermore, CTs and RICE are known for their quick-start capabilities, making them flexible, efficient additions to NPPD's already diverse generation mix.
