In Nebraska, public power means local control.  Electric utilities are owned by the people they serve, not private investors. Each public power district is governed by a board of directors elected by its customers, ensuring that decisions reflect the needs and priorities of the communities they represent. Customers have direct access to their board members, giving them a voice in how their utility operates..

For Wheat Belt Public Power District, local control is at the heart of everything we do. Because our board members live and work right here in our service area, they understand the challenges and opportunities our customers face. This local decision-making keeps our focus where it belongs, on providing safe, reliable, and affordable electricity while reinvesting in system improvements and community growth. At Wheat Belt, local control means our customers truly have a say in how we power their lives.
