Rate Schedules & Tariff Analysis
NPPD C&I cost is driven by schedule selection (Large Industrial >20,000 kW; High Tension 2,500–20,000 kW; General Service Demand <2,500 kW) and demand management, plus optional interruptible/market-based riders. With AMI tracking demand, peak management directly affects demand charges. Exact per-kW/per-kWh charges must be read from the official rate-plan PDFs.

| High Tension Service | Peak demand 2,500–20,000 kW. |
| General Service Demand | Commercial below 2,500 kW meeting demand thresholds. |
| Commercial Electric Space Heating | Primarily electric space heating, demand over 25 kW. |

Nebraska Public Power District Data Access FAQ
Can a consultant pull NPPD interval data via API?▾
Not natively. NPPD has no public API or Green Button. The practical path is Nectar, which provides API access to NPPD billing and interval data after the customer authorizes access (see docs.nectarclimate.com), or a manual interval-data request to NPPD customer service for CSV/Excel files.
What rate schedule applies to a large industrial customer?▾
NPPD's Large Industrial Service typically applies to customers with peak demand above 20,000 kW; High Tension Service covers 2,500–20,000 kW; and General Service Demand covers loads below 2,500 kW that exceed the summer/annual demand thresholds. Each schedule has demand and energy charges set in the rate plan PDFs.
Did NPPD rates change for 2026?▾
Yes. In November 2025 the NPPD board approved a 3% retail and 1% wholesale rate increase effective in 2026 (about $5/month more for a typical residential customer). C&I customers should pull the current rate plan PDFs for exact 2026 demand and energy charges.
How can a large C&I customer lower demand-related cost at NPPD?▾
Use the interruptible and demand-flexibility riders (Interruptible Service, Market-Based, Energy Curtailment, Demand Waiver, Off-Peak), manage peak demand since AMI tracks it, and confirm the most economical schedule (General Service Demand vs. High Tension vs. Large Industrial) for the load profile.
Can large C&I customers shop for a different electricity supplier?▾
No. Nebraska is an all-public-power state with no retail electric choice. NPPD is the provider in its territory; optimization comes from schedule selection, riders, demand management, and efficiency incentives rather than supplier switching.
